| Abstract: | Sustainable green manufacturing is an emerging area that combines technical issues of design
and manufacturing, energy conservation, pollution prevention, health and safety of communities
and consumers. This presentation talks about bringing awareness and understanding of
sustainable green manufacturing concepts through an assignment in MET 481 Automated
Manufacturing Systems II course. Students are required to do literature research on sustainable
green manufacturing, write a paper, and make a 5 minute presentation to the class on the selected
topic. The selected topic is related to a specific industry such as automotive, aviation, food and
beverage, pharmaceutical, petroleum refining, plastics, and energy. Students include information on
issues related to drivers, barriers, laws, regulations, implementation problems, and their
individual opinion on sustainable green manufacturing in the written paper. |
