佛罗里达国际大学的本科生研究计划旨在激发和促进本科生在本科课程早期对环境科学与工程的兴趣、好奇心、创造性和批判性思维。 这项工作涉及学生参与一项与溢油移动和受污染介质处理相关的综合研究项目，以尽量减少对环境的潜在损害。 该项目让学生参与与石油泄漏的移动和处理相关的不同研究领域。 研究领域包括以下领域：环境生物学、环境物理学、环境化学、环境建模和过程设计。 研究目标如下：制定详细的数学模型来研究溢油的运动，并开发创新的处理工艺，以尽量减少溢油对环境的潜在影响； 进行实验评估物理、化学和生物参数在溢油遏制和处理中的重要性； 评估时间和长度尺度对于分析石油运移动态的相对重要性，并研究遏制方案和处理过程的有效性。

The research program for undergraduates at Florida International University is designed to stimulate and promote interest, curiosity, creative and critical thinking of undergraduate students in environmental science and engineering during their early years in undergraduate program. This work involves students in a comprehensive research program relative to movement of oil spills and treatment of contaminated media to minimize potential damage to the environment. The program engages students with different areas of research relative to movement and treatment of oil spills. The areas of research are in the following areas: environmental biology, environmental physics, environmental chemistry, environmental modeling, and process design. The research goals follow: formulate a detailed mathematical model to study the movement of oil spills and develop innovative treatment processes to minimize the potential impacts of the oil spills in the environment; conduct experiments to evaluate the significance of physical, chemical, and biological parameters in containment and treatment of oil spills; evaluate the relative significance of time and length scales for analyzing dynamics of oil migration and study effectiveness of containment options and treatment processes.
