Award Summary The University of South Florida received a $499,975 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (Engineering program, CFDA 47.041) effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. The project develops an uncertainty-resilient framework for evaluating the environmental sustainability of manufacturing systems by integrating real-time operational data with advanced probabilistic modeling via Bayesian inference. The primary deliverables include an analytical framework for life-cycle environmental and economic assessments of net-zero manufacturing systems, research findings on the limitations of achieving net-zero energy in discrete manufacturing, and a validated system tested on a pultrusion-based recycling system that produces filament for additive manufacturing from post-consumer materials. In addition to research outcomes, the project provides significant workforce development and educational services. Deliverables include curriculum and training for engineering students in environmental impact assessment methodologies, a "Rising Innovators" engineering camp targeting elementary and middle school students in the Tampa Bay region, and educational materials promoting environmental literacy and career pathways in sustainability and manufacturing engineering. These integrated products and services support the NSF Engineering program's dual objectives of advancing technical innovation while developing a diverse engineering workforce equipped with tools for establishing resilient manufacturing systems.
