98-14072 Susan Vernon-Gerstenfeld Ecological engineering, industrial ecology, environmental engineering and environmental technology are terms and concepts that are being applied to describe research topics that address societal sustainability by solving environmental problems. The objective of this project is to provide support for relating a prior National Science Foundation initiative that supported an experimental program of research in appropriate technologies to current interests in application of ecological principles to solutions of environmental problems. In the process of relating accomplishments of the prior initiative in appropriate technology to the practice of ecological engineering and concepts emerging from work to characterize industrial ecology, it is expected this project will provide insights into research needs, results of which will support advancement of engineering practice as applied to solution of environmental problems. The students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute who work on this project will utilize their report to meet a requirement for successful participation in an Interactive Qualifying Project the intent of which is to have students complete a project during their work toward an undergraduate degree that links issues of science and technology with their social implications. One of the final products of this project is expected to be a substantive report that identifies research needs. ***

98-14072苏珊·弗农-格斯滕菲尔德生态工程、工业生态学、环境工程和环境技术是用来描述通过解决环境问题来解决社会可持续性的研究课题的术语和概念。该项目的目标是支持国家科学基金会先前的一项倡议，该倡议支持一项适当技术研究的实验计划，以满足当前在应用生态学原理解决环境问题方面的兴趣。在将适当技术方面先前倡议的成就与生态工程实践和从工作中产生的概念联系起来以表征工业生态的过程中，预计该项目将提供对研究需求的洞察，其结果将支持应用于解决环境问题的工程实践的进步。伍斯特理工学院从事该项目的学生将利用他们的报告来满足成功参与互动资格项目的要求，该项目的目的是让学生在攻读本科学位的过程中完成一个项目，该项目将科学和技术问题与其社会影响联系起来。预计该项目的最终成果之一将是一份确定研究需求的实质性报告。***
