DOE Chair Excellence Professorship Environmental Disciplines. Final Report.

摘要

The mission of the Design for Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing (DECM) Program was to advance the science and technology of environmentally conscious manufacturing with an integrated product, process and system design emphasis. This involved a comprehensive analysis and compilation of data for materials and processes of various manufacturing activities. Also included were methodologies and procedures for designing environmentally friendly products and processes in a life-cycle engineering approach. The DECM Program at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering was funded by the Department of Energy under the Dr. Samuel P. Massie Chair research grant. The DECM Team worked closely with other academic institutions, industrial companies and government laboratories to do research and educate engineers in cutting edge environmentally conscious manufacturing practices and instrumentation. The participating universities also worked individually with local companies on research projects in their specialty areas. Together, they were charged with research application, integration and education in environmentally conscious manufacturing.
