Industrial Hygieve Training Program-Core

描述（由委员会提供）：科罗拉多州立大学的工业卫生项目由兽医和生物医学科学学院（CVMBS）内的环境和放射健康科学系（DERHS）管理。 该计划提供工业卫生和环境卫生的研究生和本科教育，导致科学学士（BS），科学硕士（MS）和哲学博士（PhD）学位。理学士学位课程不是TPG的正式组成部分，因为资金不会流向学士学位学生，尽管据报道它是MS和博士课程的良好学生来源。申请人要求五年的支持，每年支持八名研究生。这将为该计划中约40%的研究生提供助学金和学费（基于目前的入学人数）。 IH项目的总体目标是让学生做好为社会做出贡献的准备，以减轻职业病和伤害的负担。这一目标将通过为本科生提供职业健康和安全方面的跨学科教育来实现，使他们成为合格的BS级EH&S专业人员：为工业，政府和学术界的职业培训MS和PhD级工业卫生专业人员;持续检查有效实践工业卫生所需的基本教条，知识和技能，并成为有效的EH&S专业人员;扩大跨学科技能和培训的剧目提供给学生的程序;和发展批判性思想家和有效的问题解决者谁问问题，检查证据，整合多个角度，并在工业卫生的实践中应用道德和专业行为的大炮。 有两个课程轨道，导致工业卫生硕士学位的完成。计划A课程包括至少30个学期学分，其中18个必须从DERHS中获得，至少16个学分必须达到500级或以上。A计划需要完成一篇论文。 计划B计划要求完成40个学期的学分，其中24个学分来自部门沿着，并在实践专业人员的指导下进行两个学期的研究生实习。 计划B的高潮是一份专业论文。无论程序轨道，学生在MS程序提供方向和指导，从他们的研究生咨询委员会，由至少三名教师，其中两人是DERHS的正式成员。MS计划A和B的典型课程表明，它们在许多方面是相似的，最显着的区别是，计划A的学生需要采取EH 699研究（4-6学分），而计划B的学生采取2个额外的EH课程由咨询委员会批准。 申请人指出，随着以人体工程学和保健物理学为重点的培训方案的制定，目前正在审查保健课程。 博士学位-工业卫生专业化要求完成72个学分，成功完成由核心教师开发和评估的博士初步考试，以及论文的完成和答辩。博士课程的核心课程和初步考试的完成确保候选人不仅具有设计和进行创造性研究的能力，而且在工业卫生的综合方面具有熟练和能力。许多博士候选人在完成科罗拉多州或另一个ABET认证计划的IH MS后进入该计划，这些人由他们的研究生咨询委员会指导完成高级IH课程，沿着针对他们论文主题的课程和/或加强他们在EH&S方面的整体能力。 该计划确定了8个核心教师（博士毕格罗，Blehm，博拉克，Gilkey， Reynolds，Rosecrance，Sandfort，and Volckens）in the section. Keefe，Ramsdell，Reif和Stallones（与心理学联合任命），因为他们是培训计划课程的讲师和/或经常为IH培训计划学生提供资助。所有核心教师都在DERHS担任全职职务，除了Volckens博士。 大量的支持和兼职教师也被确定为在该计划中发挥重要的支持作用。 的I.H.该计划是ABET认证的工业卫生应用科学计划。自1975年成立以来，该计划已毕业180多名学生。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by Committee): The Industrial Hygiene program at Colorado State University is administered through the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences (DERHS) within the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedicial Sciences (CVMBS). The program provides graduate and undergraduate education in industrial hygiene and environmental health, leading to the Bachelors of Science (BS), the Masters of Science (MS), and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. The BS degree program is not formally part of the TPG, in that funding does not go to bachelor's degree students, although it is reported to be a good source of students to the MS and PhD programs. The applicant requests support for five years to support eight graduate students each year. This would provide stipend and tuition for approximately 40% of the graduate students in the program (based on current enrollment). The overall goal of the IH program is to prepare students to contribute to society to reduce the burden of occupational disease and injury. This goal is to be accomplished by providing interdisciplinary education in occupational health and safety to undergraduate students so they may be competent BS level EH&S professionals: training industrial hygiene professionals at the MS and PhD level for careers in industry, government, and academia; continual examination of the basic dogma, knowledge, and skills needed to effectively practice industrial hygiene and be effective EH&S professionals; expanding the repertoire of interdisciplinary skills and training provided to students in the program; and developing critical thinkers and effective problem-solvers who ask questions, examine evidence, integrate multiple perspectives, and apply the cannons of ethical and professional conduct in the practice of industrial hygiene. There are two curriculum tracks that lead to the completion of the MS degree in Industrial Hygiene. The Plan A program consists of a minimum of 30 semester credits of which 18 must be taken from the DERHS and at least 16 credits must be at the 500 level or above. Plan A requires the completion of a thesis. The Plan B program requires the completion of 40 semester credits, with 24 from within the department along with two semesters of graduate internship under the direction of a practicing professional. The culmination of Plan B is a professional paper. Regardless of the program track, students in the MS program are provided direction and guidance from their Graduate Advisory Committee that consists of a minimum of three faculty members, two of whom are regular member of the DERHS. Typical curricula for the MS Plan A and B show that they are similar in many respects, the most notable difference being that Plan A students are required to take EH 699 Research (4-6 credits), while plan B students take 2 additional EH courses approved by an advisory committee. The applicant states that with the development of training programs with emphases in ergonomics and health physics, the IH curricula are under review. The Doctoral Degree-Industrial Hygiene Specialization requires the completion of 72 credits, successful completion of a PhD Preliminary Examination developed and evaluated by core faculty members, and the completion and defense of the dissertation. Core course in the PhD program and the completion of the Preliminary Examination ensure that candidates not only have the ability to design and conduct creative research, but also are skilled and capable in the comprehensive aspects of industrial hygiene. Many PhD candidates enter the program after having completed an MS in IH from Colorado State or another ABET accredited program and these individuals are directed by their Graduate Advisory Committee to complete the advanced level IH courses along with coursework specific to their dissertation topic and/or to strengthen their overall capabilities in EH&S. The Program identifies 8 core faculty (Drs. Bigelow, Blehm, Borak, Gilkey, Reynolds, Rosecrance, Sandfort, and Volckens) in the section. Core faculty from other sections of the department include Drs. Keefe, Ramsdell, Reif, and Stallones (joint appointment with Psychology), as they are instructors for courses in the training program and/or often provide grant support to IH Training Program students. All core faculty members hold full-time appointments in the DERHS and, with exception of Dr. Volckens. A large number of supporting and adjunct faculty are also identified as playing important supporting roles in the program. The I.H. Program is ABET-accredited as an Applied Science program in Industrial Hygiene. Since its inception in 1975, the program has graduated more than 180 students.
