NSERC CREATE in Environmentally Sustainable Aviation

这个工业流NSERC CREATE可持续航空研究和培训计划针对研究生和本科生，强调科学和工程学科负责建造未来几代减少环境影响的飞机所需的知识和技能。该提案通过关注环境科学和减轻飞机对环境影响所需的工程技术，解决了环境科学和技术的战略目标领域。该计划将为学员提供适合工业和学术职业道路的技能，从而提高加拿大的研究和开发能力。学员将获得必要的跨学科技术技能，以了解气候变化科学与飞机工程之间的关系，以及对围绕气候变化的政治和法律框架的见解。学生们将接触到一系列独特的主题，包括空气动力学、流动控制、微结构复合材料、燃烧、空气声学、多学科优化、生物燃料、生命周期分析、大气物理，以及航空和气候变化的政治、法律和经济方面。这些材料将由一组来自加拿大、美国和英国工业界和学术界的公认专家（包括申请人和合作者）转交给他们。此外，学员将接受专业发展，为他们提供加拿大工业高科技雇主所需的技能：沟通、管理和教学技能。CREATE计划将采用五重策略来实现这些目标：(1)通过相关课程进行培训；(2)在项目团队的顶尖科学家和工程师的指导下，通过研究项目进行培训；(3)项目参与者之间以及与外部合作者之间的跨学科交流；(4)专业发展研讨会、工作坊及项目管理经验；(5)与加拿大主要公司的实习相结合，这些公司雇用毕业生科学家和工程师。

This Industrial Stream NSERC CREATE Research and Training Program in Sustainable Aviation is aimed at graduate and undergraduate students and emphasises the scientific and engineering disciplines responsible for the knowledge and skills needed to build future generations of aircraft which have reduced environmental impact. This proposal addresses the strategic target area of environmental science and technologies through its focus on environmental science and the engineering technologies needed to mitigate the impact of aircraft on the environment. The program will provide trainees with the skills appropriate for both industrial and academic career paths, and will therefore increase Canada's research and development capacity. Trainees will gain the interdisciplinary technical skills necessary to understand the relationship between the science of climate change and the engineering of aircraft, coupled with insights into the political and legal framework surrounding climate change. The students will be exposed to a unique range of topics, including aerodynamics, flow control, microarchitectured composite materials, combustion, aeroacoustics, multidisciplinary optimization, biofuels, lifecycle analysis, atmospheric physics, and political, legal, and economic aspects of aviation and climate change. This material will be conveyed to them by a group of recognized experts, including the applicants and the collaborators, from industry and academia in Canada, the US, and the UK. In addition, trainees will receive professional development to provide them with the skills demanded by high-tech employers in Canadian industry: communication, management and teaching skills. This CREATE program will use a fivefold strategy to accomplish these goals: (1) Training through relevant courses; (2) training through research projects supervised by leading scientists and engineers on the program team; (3) interdisciplinary exchanges between program participants and with external collaborators; (4) professional development seminars, workshops and project management experience; and (5) integrated internships with major Canadian companies which hire graduate scientists and engineers.
