PROJECT SUMMARY The Occupational Safety and Health Training Program at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center's School of Public Health (TAMHSC SPH) delivers focused training in occupational safety and health, with available concentrations in safety, health, and ergonomics for masters level MPH students. Students completing the program possess knowledge and skills in the general concepts of developing problems and solutions with cost/benefit analysis related to occupational safety and health/wellness, 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 at TAMHSC SPH has a long history of producing highly qualified safety practitioners. The success of the program is demonstrated by the aggressive recruitment of TAMHSC SPH graduates by industry, healthcare, academia, and governmental agencies. Originally established in the TAMU College of Engineering through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) ―Ergonomics Training Grant from 1995-2003, the program and course faculty transferred to TAMHSC SPH in 2002. The primary strengths of the TAMHSC SPH 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 capstone field training opportunities and internships 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 SPH has been on the cutting edge of eLearning 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 ergonomists, and certified industrial hygienists, the NIOSH funding is greatly needed and will assist in recruiting and retaining new, highly qualified students and faculty members. For this renewal, the program is seeking an increase of trainees from 2 per year at the masters level to 5 per year (3 masters level and 2 doctoral level) to support the growth we are seeing in our overall program size and to meet the demand for our students.

项目摘要 职业安全与健康培训计划在德克萨斯A&M大学健康科学 中心的公共卫生学院（TAMHSC SPH）提供职业安全和健康方面的重点培训， 在安全，健康和人体工程学硕士水平的MPH学生可用浓度。学生 完成该计划拥有的知识和技能，在发展问题的一般概念， 具有成本/效益分析的解决方案，涉及职业安全和健康/保健、人体工程学、工业 卫生，职业病，人体解剖学，人机交互，显示和控制，信息 加工、工业过程安全、流行病学、振动控制和统计学。 TAMHSC SPH的职业安全与健康计划具有悠久的历史， 合格的安全从业人员。该计划的成功表现在积极招募 TAMHSC SPH毕业生由行业，医疗保健，学术界和政府机构。原本 通过国家职业安全研究所在TAMU工程学院设立， 健康（NIOSH）--1995-2003年人体工程学培训补助金，项目和课程教师转移到 2002年，TAMHSC SPH。TAMHSC SPH计划的主要优势是广泛的教师 在安全和健康、医学、工程、工业卫生方面的专业知识和经验，以及 人体工程学;该计划与行业合作伙伴有着重要的联系，不仅可以实现顶峰现场培训 为学生提供机会和实习机会，但将毕业生安置在专业职位上， 这些行业领导者;以及通过学校的承诺吸引多元化学生的能力， 以及投资创新的分布式学习技术。 TAMHSC SPH自2009年以来一直处于eLearning分布式学习技术的前沿。 学校成立于1998年。培训计划中合格的学生可以通过一个 结合校园，远程学习，或分布式学习方法。通过NIOSH培训补助金 资金，这个历史上成功的计划将能够招募和留住，在竞争的基础上，最好的， 实习生候选人在该国。虽然该计划已经能够招募和维持一个高素质的 和成功的教师，包括专业工程师，医生，认证的专业人体工程学家， 和认证的工业企业家，NIOSH的资金是非常需要的，并将协助招聘， 留住新的，高素质的学生和教师。对于这次更新，该计划正在寻求一个 将受训人员从每年2名硕士增加到每年5名（3名硕士和2名博士）， 支持我们在我们的整体计划规模看到的增长，并满足我们的学生的需求。
