GER-9553380 McNeil Carnegie Mellon University is proposing an innovative GRT program that focuses on the joint impact of science, technology and management on global Civil Infrastructure Systems. The student training will include an appreciation and understanding of the current state of the U.S. Infrastructure systems, an exposure to advances in other areas of critical importance to encourage interdisciplinary technology transfer and development, and internships abroad and in national laboratories and industries to provide the cultural breadth and to bridge theory and application. The research program for each student will emphasize a unified strategy towards deterioration science, assessment technologies, and renewal engineering. This research vision will enable the student to leapfrog the current myopic strategy of "design and new construction" to unified strategy that recognizes the importance of a systems approach, good science, new and emerging technologies and sound management practices to sustain infrastructure over its life. The proposed training program will provide the graduates with the opportunity to be future leaders in the development and sustenance of U.S. and international infrastructure. We will actively recruit underrepresented groups building on our success with working with women graduate students and utilizing our links to other institutions. We have an excellent track record with respect to retention and intend to maintain this through not only providing a unique education experience but also by maintaining strong advisor- student relationships. The innovative elements of the program are also attractive for students interested in a holistic graduate experience.

GER-9553380 麦克尼尔卡内基梅隆大学正在提议一项创新的 GRT 计划，重点关注科学、技术和管理对全球民用基础设施系统的共同影响。学生培训将包括对美国基础设施系统现状的欣赏和理解，了解其他对于鼓励跨学科技术转让和发展至关重要的领域的进展，以及在国外和国家实验室和行业实习，以提供文化广度并弥合理论和应用。每个学生的研究计划将强调针对恶化科学、评估技术和更新工程的统一策略。这一研究愿景将使学生能够跨越当前短视的“设计和新建”战略，转变为认识到系统方法、良好科学、新兴技术和健全管理实践对于维持基础设施生命周期的重要性的统一战略。拟议的培训计划将为毕业生提供成为美国和国际基础设施发展和维护的未来领导者的机会。在我们与女研究生合作的成功经验以及利用我们与其他机构的联系的基础上，我们将积极招募代表性不足的群体。我们在保留方面拥有出色的记录，并打算通过提供独特的教育体验以及维持牢固的导师与学生关系来保持这一记录。该计划的创新元素对于对整体研究生体验感兴趣的学生也很有吸引力。
