Workshop: Advancing Healthy Communities - the 2017 AEESP Meeting to be held on June 20-22, 2017 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan

[19868]拉斯托斯基一年两次的环境工程与科学教授协会（AEESP）研究与教育会议是该组织的旗舰活动，供成员讨论新颖的研究和教育活动，并发展专业能力。会议是学术界和实践者之间交流信息的场所，特别是在推进创新研究和为学生在环境工程和科学方面的专业实践做准备方面。本次会议以“促进健康社区”为主题，将于2017年6月20日至22日在密歇根州安娜堡的密歇根大学校园举行。2017年AEESP会议将由密歇根大学（牵头机构）和五所合作大学（密歇根州立大学、韦恩州立大学、密歇根理工大学、托莱多大学和圣母大学）的教员组成的核心委员会组织。预计将有600名教师、学生和嘉宾参加会议。与之前的AEESP会议一样，2017年AEESP研究与教育会议的主题规划将涉及广泛的环境工程和科学主题，包括饮用水处理；污水处理的环境微生物学；老化供水基础设施的管理；修复受污染的土壤和棕地；社区对气候变化的适应能力；从废物流中回收材料和能源；城市空气质量；发展中国家的环境教育；设计与环境工程的整合；以及在公共卫生问题上的道德和风险沟通。会议的地点及其促进健康社区的主题与密歇根州弗林特市最近发生的饮用水危机特别相关。除了以水处理技术和供水基础设施管理进展为主题的技术规划外，有关公共卫生方面的伦理、教育和风险通报的介绍将是2017年AESSP会议的一个关键组成部分。AEESP会议为大量本科生、研究生和博士后提供了向环境工程和科学学术界进行口头和海报报告的机会。参加会议的初级和未来的教师将受益于如何找到教师职位，申请NSF职业奖，以及在教学和研究活动中取得成功的研讨会。环境研究和教育方面的学术进展将发表在《环境工程科学》杂志的特刊上。总之，2017年亚太经合组织会议将推动广泛传播与会议主题“促进健康社区”相关的重要研究和教育成果。

1719868LastoskieThe biannual Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) Research and Education Conference is the flagship event of the organization for members to discuss novel research and educational activities and to develop professional competencies. The conference serves as a venue for exchange of information among academics and practitioners, particularly relating to advancement of innovative research and preparation of students for professional practice in environmental engineering and science. This conference, which has the theme of "Advancing Healthy Communities," is scheduled to be held on June 20-22, 2017, and will be hosted on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The 2017 AEESP meeting will be organized by a core council composed of faculty members from the University of Michigan, the lead institution, and five partnering universities (Michigan State University, Wayne State University, Michigan Technological University, University of Toledo, and University of Notre Dame). It is anticipated that 600 faculty, students, and guests will attend the conference. As in previous AEESP meetings, topical programming at the 2017 AEESP Research and Education Conference will address a broad spectrum of environmental engineering and science themes, including drinking water treatment; environmental microbiology for wastewater treatment; management of aging water supply infrastructures; remediation of contaminated soils and brownfields; community resilience to climate change; material and energy recovery from waste streams; urban air quality; environmental education in the developing world; integration of design into environmental engineering; and ethics and risk communication on matters of public health. The conference location and its theme of advancing healthy communities has particular relevance in the recent aftermath of the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan. In addition to technical programming themed on advances in water treatment technologies and water supply infrastructure management, presentations concerning ethics, education, and risk communication in relation to public health will be a key component of the 2017 AESSP meeting. The AEESP meeting offers a sizable cohort of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students the opportunity to deliver oral and poster presentations on their research to the environmental engineering and science academic community. Junior and prospective faculty members attending the conference will benefit from workshops on how to find a faculty position, apply for the NSF CAREER award, and achieve success in their teaching and research activities. Scholarly advancements in environmental research and education will be published in a special issue of the journal Environmental Engineering Science. In summary, the 2017 AEESP Conference will promote the broad dissemination of important research and education achievements relating to the conference theme of "Advancing Healthy Communities".
