Graduate Research Traineeship, Infrastructure Facilities

摘要国家需要土木工程师和环境工程师来解决基础设施恶化和修复环境破坏场地的工程问题。随着意识水平的提高和优先事项的改变，这一问题变得更加突出。为了满足这一需求，密歇根大学土木工程与环境工程系致力于招聘和培训高素质的工程专业人员，担任教育工作者、研究人员和实践者。有两个条件限制了我们取得成功的能力：我们资助优质学生的能力，以及我们吸引不同美国学生群体的能力。人们都清楚地认识到，传统的研究生院候选人人数正在减少，必须挖掘历史上在工程学方面代表性不足的人的才华。这既包括少数民族，也包括妇女。这份建议书概述了我们积极追求合格学生的意图，以鼓励他们加入我们的教育计划，并为他们在基础设施的一个或多个多方面阶段的职业生涯做好准备。

ABSTRACT The national need for civil and environmental engineers to address the engineering aspects of the deterioration of infrastructure facilities and the remediation of environmentally damaged sites is becoming more eminent as awareness levels rise and priorities change. To meet this need the faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan is dedicated to recruiting and training high-quality engineering professionals to serve as educators, researchers, and practitioners. Two conditions limit our capacity to be successful: our ability to fund quality students, and our ability to attract a diverse group of American students. It is well recognized that the traditional pool of candidates for graduate school is dwindling, and that the talents of persons historically underrepresented in engineering must be tapped. This includes both minorities and women. This proposal outlines our intention to aggressively pursue qualified students to encourage them to join our educational program, and to prepare them for a professional career in one or more of the multi- faceted phases of Infrastructure Facilities.
