Environmental Engineering Chairs and Directors Conference: Preparing the Future Stewards of our Planet, July 29-31,2012, Columbus, OH

请求BurkenFunds创建一个环境工程主席和董事会议。这次会议和今后的努力将集中于建立一个持续的交流平台，以满足教育和培训进入环境工程专业人员的需要。通过AEESP和AAEE的协调努力，我们努力将来自全国各地的现任环境工程系主席和项目主管聚集在一起，参加为期两天的会议，这将是协调全国共同努力改善和帮助这些项目的开创性事件，这些项目正在确定持续需要的领域，并在大学资金困难的情况下帮助发展新项目。本次会议由环境工程与科学教授协会和美国环境工程师学会联合举办。本次会议将对环境工程领域产生广泛而深刻的影响，特别是对培养发展最快、最多样化的工程领域的教育过程。我们的国家和地球所面临的环境挑战是巨大的，对工程师的培训是非常必要的，以处理对人类健康和繁荣产生如此广泛影响的领域。这种培训和教育也将使人们更好地了解环境工程领域与公共卫生和社会福利的联系。

CBET-1239114 BurkenFunds are requested to create an Environmental Engineering Chairs and Directors Conference. This conference and continuing effort will focus at establishing a continuing communications platform to address the needs of educating and training those entering the environmental engineering profession. Coordinating efforts through AEESP and AAEE, we strive to pull together the current environmental engineering department chairs and program directors from across the country for a two-day conference that will serve as the seminal event in coordinating a concerted national effort to improve and aid these programs is identifying areas of continued need and assist in the challenges of growing new programs in times of difficult university funding. This conference is organized jointly by Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors and the American Academy of Environmental Engineers. The proposed conference will have broad and profound impacts on the field of environmental engineering, and specifically the educational process that trains the fastest growing and most diverse field of engineering. The environmental challenges that face our nation and planet are of a grand scale, and the training of engineers to handle a field with such extensive impact on human health and prosperity is of great need. This training and education will also translate into a better understanding in the field of environmental engineering of the linkages to public health and societal well being.
