RIMI: Containment and Remediation of Mixed Waste Streams Resulting From Landfill Failure

9550710米勒，这项RIMI提案的主要目标是增加少数族裔进入和保留韦恩州立大学(WSU)的环境工程课程。该项目建议结合土木工程和环境工程部(CEE)和化学工程部(CHE)在土壤和地下水污染建模和修复方面的现有研究优势，以实现这一目标。来自这些系的教师将共同努力，开发一种多学科方法，以解决因废物围堵系统破裂或泄漏而造成的土壤和水污染问题。研究的范围特意广泛，以便让少数群体学生/研究人员参与一些重点研究领域，每个领域都与陆上废物控制系统造成的污染直接相关。威斯康星州立大学的研究经验将通过密歇根大学的暑期实习计划得到加强。此外，工业实习将被用来增加受该计划影响的少数族裔的数量。这样的实践研究培训将显著提高学生在该项目中的留存率。***

9550710 Miller The primary goal of this RIMI proposal is increased entry and retention of minorities into the environmental engineering program at Wayne State University (WSU). The project proposes combining existing research strengths in modeling and remediation of soil and groundwater contamination within the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and Chemical Engineering (ChE) in order to reach this goal. Faculty from these Departments will combine efforts to develop a multi-disciplinary approach to the problem of soil and water pollution from ruptured or leaking waste containment systems. The scope of the research is purposely broad, in order to involve the minority students/researchers in a number of focuses research areas, each relating directly to pollution resulting from land-based waste containment systems. The WSU research experience will be enhanced through a summer internship program at The University of Michigan. In addition, industrial internships will be used to increase the number of minorities impacted by this program. Such practical research training will significantly increase student retention in this program. ***
