AEESP Conference and CAREER Workshop: Interactions at the Interface-Making the Connections between Environments, Disciplines and Nations, Summer 2007, Blacksburg, Virginia

该奖项将为AEESP 2007会议和职业研讨会提供部分支持，该会议将于2007年7月在弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学（弗吉尼亚理工大学）举行。会议和研讨会的计划是弗吉尼亚理工大学土木与环境工程系的一个教师小组和AEESP会议常设委员会共同努力的结果。2007年会议的主题是界面上的互动：在环境、学科和国家之间建立联系。为了支持这一主题，会议将强调广泛的空间尺度（纳米到全球），这是环境工程和相关学科领域研究前沿的特征，以及这些领域日益国际化的研究和教育规模。环境工程和科学教授协会（AEESP）是连接学术环境工程社区不同组成部分的“粘合剂”。AEESP两年一次的会议将工程师和科学家聚集在一起，讨论环境研究和教育的最新发展和趋势。会议将包括研讨会、口头和海报技术会议，以及非正式的机会，供环境工程领域学术界的师生成员进行互动和合作。为新教师和博士后和高级研究生计划进入学术生涯的研讨会将提供建议准备，职业规划和平衡与今天成功的学术生涯相关的许多责任的指导。

0650629BoardmanThis award provides partial support for the AEESP 2007 conference and Career workshop, which will be held at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, VA in July 2007. Planning for the conference and workshop has been a collaborative effort of a faculty group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech and AEESP's standing committee on conferences. The theme for the 2007 conference is interactions at the interface: making the connections between environments, disciplines, and nations. In support of the theme, the conference will emphasize the wide range of spatial scales (nano to global) that characterize the frontiers of research in the field of environmental engineering and related disciplines, as well as the increasingly international scale of research and education in these fields. The Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) is the "glue" that connects the disparate components of the academic environmental engineering community. AEESP biennial conferences bring engineers and scientists together to discuss the latest developments and trends in environmental research and education. The conference will include workshops, oral and poster technical sessions, and informal opportunities for faculty and student members of the academic community in the field of environmental engineering to interact and collaborate. The workshop for new faculty and for postdoctoral and senior graduate students planning to enter an academic career will provide guidance on proposal preparation, career planning and balancing the many responsibilities associated with successful academic careers today.
