Undergraduate Faculty Workshop: Environmental Management

这个研讨会的目的是提出一门课程，并制定一个问题工作簿，支持在这些关键和广泛的领域本科教学。 向20名本科教学人员提供这一课程，并让他们参与编写辅助教材，将大大提高他们对当前环境管理学科的理解，并帮助他们更新和开发这一领域的新课程。 邀请参加研讨会的工程和应用科学教师的跨学科团队产生的问题和解决方案将构成从这一努力产生的工作簿的基础。 工作簿中包含的主题包括：基础知识、法规、风险评估/风险沟通、污染预防、可持续发展、空气/水/固体废物管理、危险废物管理、室内空气污染、环境道德、环境正义、ISO14000和全球环境管理。 问题练习册的初稿将于1996年6月在犹他州州立大学举行的为期两周的夏季研讨会上准备。 1996-1997学年将为参加者提供一个机会，在课堂上测试讲习班向他们提供的教材的有效性以及练习册中所载的问题。 定于1997年6月下旬在曼哈顿学院举行为期三天的后续夏季会议，以提供一个机会来修订、更新和编辑工作手册，并最终确定在本科工程和应用科学课程中实施的生产和分配计划。 该项目是作为大学（犹他州州立大学，洛根，犹他州;北方亚利桑那大学，弗拉格斯塔夫，亚利桑那州）和一所四年制本科学院（曼哈顿学院，里弗代尔，纽约）之间的合作努力提出的。 项目主任和联合主任有超过50年的环境管理经验，已成功参与NSF大学研究生教师增强项目在过去，并参与少数民族和美洲原住民保留和培训工作在他们的机构。

The objective of this workshop is to present both a course and develop a problem workbook supporting undergraduate instruction in these critical and wide ranging areas. Offering such a course to 20 undergraduate teaching faculty and involving them in development of supporting teaching materials will significantly enhance their understanding of current environmental management subjects and help them update and develop new courses in this area. Problems and solutions generated by an interdisciplinary team of engineering and applied science faculty invited to attend the workshop will form the basis of the workbook generated from this effort. Topics to be included in the workbook are: fundamentals, regulations, risk assessment/risk communication, pollution prevention, sustainable development, air/water/solid waste management, hazardous waste management, indoor air pollution, environmental ethics, environmental justice, ISO14000 and global environmental management. The first draft of the problem workbook will be prepared during a two-week summer workshop at Utah State University in June, 1996. The 1996-1997 academic year will provide an opportunity for participants to classroom test the effectiveness of the teaching materials provided to them in the workshop, and the problems contained in the workbook. A three-day follow up summer session in late June, 1997 is scheduled at Manhattan College to provide an opportunity to revise, update, and edit the workbook, and finalize production and distribution plans for implementation in undergraduate engineering and applied science curricula. This project is proposed as a collaborative effort between universities (Utah State University, Logan, Utah; Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona) and a four-year undergraduate college (Manhattan College, Riverdale, New York). The Program Director and co-Directors have over 50 combined years of experience in environmental management, have been successfully involved in NSF U ndergraduate Faculty Enhancement projects in the past, and are involved in minority and Native American retention and training efforts at their institutions.
