INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE TRAINING PROGRAM - ERGONOMICS SUPPLEMENT

描述(申请人提供)：本次修订的资助申请旨在为我们的NIOSH支持的工业卫生培训项目资助(TPG)建立一个人体工程学培训补充。人体工程学培训计划是从1976年在科罗拉多州立大学建立的非常成功的工业卫生TPG发展而来的。2002年在母公司工业卫生TPG中确立的主要目标之一是“发展人体工程学和职业健康心理学的跨学科研究领域，以满足工业卫生实践不断发展的需要。”这一目标已经实现，并将在本补充应用程序中更上一层楼。拟议的人体工程学培训计划将继续加强我们现有的工业卫生计划，并为具有职业健康心理学、职业生物力学和职业健康背景的学生提供特定的人体工程学培训。拟议的人体工程学培训计划由环境和放射健康科学系(ERHS)管理，但也利用了心理学、健康和运动科学系提供的教师专业知识和资源。建议在硕士和博士级别进行培训。硕士水平的培训通过三个系提供：1)ERHS，2)心理学，3)健康与运动科学。博士培训是通过ERHS和心理学提供的。两个级别的研究生培训的学生将完成共同的核心课程，解决人体工程学和人类因素方面的问题，同时满足各自学术部门的学位要求。这一跨学科培训计划的所有学生的共同主线将是必修的8至12门核心课程。提出的跨学科培养模式为学生提供了坚实的工效学原理、职业生物力学和职业健康心理学基础。虽然学生将与一个共同的核心课程联系在一起，但他们每个人都将在各自的研究领域发展专业知识。这一联合培训计划将培养出能够从跨学科的角度解决人体工程学和人为因素挑战的毕业生。所描述的培训计划遵循国际人体工程学协会概述的人体工程学家形成模式，并被专业人体工程学认证委员会采纳为人体工程学专业能力的基本架构。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): The purpose of this revised grant application is to establish an Ergonomics Training Supplement to our NIOSH supported Industrial Hygiene Training Project Grant (TPG). The Ergonomics Training Program has developed from the highly successful Industrial Hygiene TPG established at Colorado State University in 1976. One of the primary goals established in the parent Industrial Hygiene TPG in 2002 was to "develop interdisciplinary areas of study in ergonomics and occupational health psychology to meet the evolving needs of industrial hygiene practice." This goal has been accomplished and is being taken to the next level in this supplemental application. The proposed Ergonomics Training Program will continue to enhance our established industrial hygiene program and provide specific ergonomics training for students with backgrounds in occupational health psychology, occupational biomechanics, and occupational health. The proposed Ergonomics Training Program is administrated in the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences (ERHS) but also draws on faculty expertise and resources, available in the Departments of Psychology, and Health and Exercise Science. Training at the master's and doctoral levels are proposed. Master's level training is offered through three departments; 1) ERHS, 2) Psychology, and 3) Health and Exercise Science. Doctoral training is offered through ERHS, and Psychology. Students at both levels of graduate training will complete a common core of courses addressing issues in ergonomics and human factors while fulfilling degree requirements in their respective academic department. The common thread for all students in this interdisciplinary training program will be the required eight to twelve core courses. The interdisciplinary training model proposed provides students with a strong foundation in ergonomic principles, occupational biomechanics, and occupational health psychology. While students will be linked to a common core of courses, they will each develop expertise in their respective fields of study. This joint training program will produce graduates able to solve ergonomic and human factor challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective. The training programs described follows the Ergonomist Formation Model as outlined by the International Ergonomics Association and adopted as the fundamental architecture for professional competence in ergonomics by the Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics.
