Abstract

Working in partnership, Lucent Technologies and the NJIT Multi-Lifecycle Engineering Research Center conducted an evaluation on two different circuit pack faceplate designs. Pro/Engineer files representing a proposed "two-shot" molded thermoplastic faceplate and a current metal (aluminum) assembly design were evaluated using NJIT benefits of the proposed design as well as the advantages of using this approach to evaluate alternative designs, construction, processes and materials. By integrating environmental LCA and EcoPro into product design systems, efforts to extend Design for (X) metrics to include the environment were formalized in a strategy that gives designers timely feedback on the lifecycle impact of an evolving design.
