Student Support: NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME Workshop & Competition on Formalizing Manufacturing Processes for Structured Sustainability Assessments; Los Angeles, California; June 4-8,

该奖项是对NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME研讨会和可持续性评估的正式制造工艺竞赛的部分支持。该研讨会将由ASME 2017制造科学与工程会议主办，该会议将于2017年6月4日至8日在加州洛杉矶的南加州大学举行。这笔资金将部分支持美国科学家，博士后研究人员和研究生的出席。参与的学生将在系统级可持续性评估的制造过程建模竞赛后选出。研讨会和比赛将通知ASTM E60可持续制造小组委员会的制造社区，为从业者提供一个机会，在建模感兴趣的过程时将标准付诸实践，并提供候选模型的来源，以填充将由NIST及其合作伙伴开发的供制造业社区使用的存储库。该奖项将部分支持初级与会者包括研究生、博士后研究员、早期职业教师，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生和教师。研讨会的重点是系统级可持续性评估的制造过程建模。将考虑所有制造工艺，无论是批量、连续或离散事件类型，以及所有尺寸尺度，纳米到宏观制造。模型可以从传统的规模缩小到纳米级的过程，并基于机械，电气，化学，生物化学和生物技术。由于可持续性是竞争目标的平衡，包括成本，时间和环境因素，因此可以考虑许多不同类型的过程性能指标。预计研讨会和相关的建模竞赛将在很大程度上推动先进制造领域及其与可持续发展的关系。

This award is for the partial support for the NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME workshop and competition on Formalizing Manufacturing Processes for Sustainability Assessment. The workshop will be hosted by the ASME 2017 Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference, which will be held at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, June 4-8, 2017. The funding will partially support the attendance of US scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. Participating students will be selected following a competition on modeling of manufacturing processes for system level sustainability assessment. The workshop and competition will inform the manufacturing community of the ASTM E60 Subcommittee on Sustainable Manufacturing, provide an opportunity for practitioners to put the standards into practice when modeling processes of interest, and provide a source of candidate models to populate the repository that will be developed by NIST and its partners for the use of the manufacturing community.This award will partially support the participation of junior participants, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, early career faculty members, and, especially, women and under-represented minority students and faculty. The workshop focuses on modeling of manufacturing processes for system level sustainability assessment. All manufacturing processes, whether batch, continuous, or discrete event type, and all size scales, nano- to macro-manufacturing, will be considered. Models can span from traditional scale down to nanoscale processes and be based on mechanical, electrical, chemical, biochemical, and bio technologies. Since sustainability is a balance of competing objectives, including cost, time and environmental considerations, many different types of process performance metrics may be considered. It is anticipated that the workshop and associated modeling competition will advance the field of advanced manufacturing and its relationship to sustainability to a significant extent.
