DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Occupational Safety and Health Training Program at the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center's School of Rural Public Health (TAMHSC SRPH) will deliver focused training in occupational safety and health, with available concentrations in safety, health, and ergonomics for masters level (MPH and MSPH) students. Students completing the program will possess knowledge and skills in the general concepts related to occupational safety and health, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, occupational disease, human anatomy, user-computer interaction, displays and controls, information processing, industrial process safety, epidemiology, vibration control, and statistics. The occupational Safety and Health program, first at Texas A&M University (TAMU) and now at TAMHSC SRPH, has a long history of producing highly qualified safety practitioners. The success of the program is demonstrated by the aggressive recruitment of TAMHSC SRPH graduates by industry, healthcare, academia, and governmental agencies. Originally established in the TAMU College of Engineering, the program and course faculty transferred to TAMHSC SRPH in 2002. The primary strengths of the TAMHSC SRPH program are the extensive faculty expertise and experience in safety and health, medicine, engineering, industrial hygiene, and ergonomics; the program's critical ties to industry partners, enabling not only field training opportunities for students but placement of graduates in professional positions with these industry leaders; and the ability to attract a diverse student body via the school's commitment to and investment in innovative distributed learning technologies. TAMHSC SRPH has been on the cutting edge of eLeaming distributed learning technology since the school's inception in 1998. Qualified students in the Training Program may pursue their degree through a combination of on-campus, distance learning, or distributed learning methods. With the NIOSH training grant funding, this historically successful program will be able to recruit and retain, on a competitive basis, the best trainee candidates in the country. While the program has been able to recruit and maintain a highly qualified and successful faculty, including professional engineers, medical doctors, certified professional economists, and certified industrial hygienists, the NIOSH funding will assist in recruiting and retaining new, highly qualified faculty members. Occupational safety and health specialists are critical to ensuring the safety and health of the nation's worksites and workforce. The program addresses the shortage of qualified occupational safety and health professionals by delivering a high quality program via a combination of on-campus and distributed learning technologies.

描述(由申请人提供)：德克萨斯A&M大学系统健康科学中心农村公共卫生学院(TAMHSC SRPH)拟议的职业安全与健康培训计划将提供职业安全与健康方面的重点培训，为硕士水平(公共卫生硕士和MSPH)学生提供安全、健康和人体工程学方面的现有专业。完成该课程的学生将拥有与职业安全与健康、人体工程学、工业卫生、职业病、人体解剖学、用户-计算机交互、显示与控制、信息处理、工业过程安全、流行病学、振动控制和统计学相关的一般概念的知识和技能。职业安全与健康计划，最初在德克萨斯农工大学(TAMU)，现在在TAMHSC SRPH，在培养高素质安全从业者方面有着悠久的历史。行业、医疗保健、学术界和政府机构积极招聘TAMHSC SRPH毕业生，证明了该计划的成功。该项目最初成立于TAMU工程学院，于2002年转至TAMHSC SRPH。TAMHSC SRPH计划的主要优势是在安全与健康、医学、工程、工业卫生和人体工程学方面拥有丰富的教师专业知识和经验；该计划与行业合作伙伴的关键联系，不仅为学生提供现场培训机会，还为毕业生提供与这些行业领先者一起担任专业职位的机会；以及通过学校对创新分布式学习技术的承诺和投资来吸引多样化的学生群体的能力。自1998年学校成立以来，TAMHSC SRPH一直处于eLeaming分布式学习技术的前沿。培训计划中符合条件的学生可以通过在校学习、远程学习或分布式学习相结合的方式攻读学位。在NIOSH培训赠款的资助下，这一历史上成功的项目将能够在竞争的基础上招募和留住该国最好的实习生候选人。虽然该项目一直能够招聘和保持一支高素质和成功的教师队伍，包括专业工程师、医生、注册专业经济学家和注册工业卫生师，但NIOSH的资金将帮助招聘和留住新的、高素质的教师。 职业安全和健康专家对确保国家工作场所和劳动力的安全和健康至关重要。该计划通过结合校园内和分布式学习技术提供高质量的计划，解决了合格职业安全和健康专业人员的短缺问题。
