Development and Implementation of a Modern Environmental Engineering Curriculum Conference; Summer 1990, University of California's Arrowhead Conference Center

该奖项旨在支持举办研讨会或会议，以帮助构建环境工程本科学位课程，为学生在专业实践中发挥重要作用做好准备，为独立学习提供机会，并为他们的研究生工作做好准备。该讲习班定于1990年夏季在加利福尼亚大学箭头会议中心举行，为期四天。环境问题的大幅增长导致对工程师的需求目前没有得到充分满足。这部分是环境工程教育发展过程的结果，实际上，要求学生获得入门级职位的研究生学位。这表明有必要重新考虑环境工程师为职业生涯做准备的过程。本次研讨会的结果将为环境工程项目的潜在结构提供指导，包括在主要提供工程本科学位的机构进行研究的机会。

This is an award to support conduct of a workshop/conference to assist in structuring a program leading to an undergraduate degree in environmental engineering that would prepare students for a productive role in professional practice, provide opportunities for independent study, and prepare them for graduate work. The workshop will be scheduled for a four-day period in the summer of 1990 at the University of California's Arrowhead Conference Center. The large growth in environmental issues has resulted in a demand for engineers that is not now being adequately met. This is a result partially of the process through which education in environmental engineering has evolved which, in effect, requires students to obtain graduate degrees for entry-level positions. This suggests a need to reconsider the process by which environmental engineers are prepared for professional careers. Results of this workshop will provide guidance in potential structuring of an environmental engineering program including opportunities for conduct of research at institutions offering primarily undergraduate degrees in engineering.
