NSERC CREATE in Environmentally Sustainable Aviation

该工业流NSERC可持续航空创新研究和培训计划面向研究生和本科生，强调科学和工程学科，负责制造减少对环境影响的未来几代飞机所需的知识和技能。该提案侧重于环境科学和减轻航空器对环境的影响所需的工程技术，涉及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，因此将提高加拿大的研发能力。学员将获得必要的跨学科技术技能，以了解气候变化科学和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洞察。学生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、大气物理学，以及航空和气候变化的政治、法律和经济方面。这些材料将由来自加拿大、美国和英国的工业界和学术界的一组公认的专家传达给他们，其中包括申请者和合作者。此外，受训人员将获得专业发展，为他们提供加拿大行业高科技雇主所要求的技能：沟通、管理和教学技能。CREATE计划将使用五项战略来实现这些目标：(1)通过相关课程进行培训；(2)通过由计划团队中的顶尖科学家和工程师监督的研究项目进行培训；(3)计划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、研讨会和项目管理经验；以及(5)在雇用研究生科学家和工程师的加拿大大公司进行综合实习。

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.
