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.

本次研讨会的目标是在这些关键和广泛的领域提供一门课程并开发一个问题练习册来支持本科教学。向20名本科教师开设这门课程，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主题的了解，并帮助他们更新和开发这一领域的新课程。被邀请参加研讨会的工程和应用科学跨学科团队所产生的问题和解决方案将构成工作簿的基础。工作手册的主题包括：基础、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、环境伦理、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月在犹他州立大学举行的为期两周的夏季讲习班上编写。1996-1997学年将为参加者提供一个机会，在课堂上测试讲习班提供给他们的教材的有效性，以及工作手册中所载的问题。计划于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，以提供机会修订、更新和编辑工作手册，并最终确定生产和分配计划，以便在本科工程和应用科学课程中实施。该项目是由多所大学（犹他州立大学，位于犹他州洛根市；北亚利桑那大学，位于亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫市）和一所四年制本科学院（曼哈顿学院，位于纽约州里弗代尔市）合作完成的。项目主任和联合主任在环境管理方面有超过50年的经验，过去曾成功地参与过NSF U的本科师资增强项目，并参与了他们所在机构的少数民族和印第安人的保留和培训工作。
