项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY To ensure that emerging technologies grow without causing illness or injury to workers and the public, a professional workforce must be prepared with the ability to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control exposures to hazardous materials in emerging technology workplaces. Therefore, the University of Minnesota, the University of Iowa, and University of Utah have formed the Interdisciplinary Training, Education and Research Activities for Assessing And Controlling Contaminants From Emerging Technologies (INTERACCT) Program. The objectives of the INTERACCT Program for this funding period are (i) to develop a comprehensive web-based curriculum on occupational hygiene, with emphasis on applications to worker health and safety in emerging technologies. To accomplish this objective, we will develop three online core courses for education and training in chemical hazard recognition, exposure assessment, and risk assessment. In the cores, we will demonstrate concepts with examples and illustrations drawn from the following emerging technologies: nanotechnology, additive manufacturing and novel drug delivery. Each core in the curriculum will be comprised of 10-15 web-based modules; each module, in turn, will include a carefully-constructed set of short narrated screencasts, animations, exercises, and activities. (ii) to build research in industrial hygiene skills. To accomplish this objective, we will provide interdisciplinary research experience opportunities to graduate students. (iii) To produce graduates with high levels of technical, scientific and proessional competency. To accomplish this objective, Instructors will use the curriculum to create academic and continuing education courses that develop the skills of industrial hygiene students; students in other health, science, engineering, and technology disciplines; and professionals who require continuing education on the health and safety of emerging technologies. The program is innovative because it provides flexible, online education materials that instructors can first use to train themselves, and then to train others, on topics that fit the needs of their organizations. All materials will be freely available on the web, ensuring that the INTERACCT Program has a regional, national, and global reach.

项目概要确保新兴技术的发展不会对工人和社会造成疾病或伤害公众，专业的劳动力必须具备预测、识别、评估、并控制新兴技术工作场所中有害物质的暴露。因此，明尼苏达大学、爱荷华大学和犹他大学组成了评估和控制的跨学科培训、教育和研究活动新兴技术污染物 (INTERACCT) 计划。该计划的目标本资助期的 INTERACCT 计划是 (i) 开发一个全面的基于网络的职业卫生课程，重点关注工人健康和安全的应用新兴技术。为了实现这一目标，我们将开发三门在线核心课程化学品危害识别、暴露评估和风险评估方面的教育和培训。在核心部分，我们将通过以下示例和插图来演示概念新兴技术：纳米技术、增材制造和新型药物输送。每个课程核心将由 10-15 个基于网络的模块组成；每个模块依次将包括一组精心构建的简短解说屏幕录像、动画、练习和活动。 (ii) 开展工业卫生技能研究。为了实现这一目标，我们将为研究生提供跨学科研究经验的机会。 (三) 生产具有高水平技术、科学和专业能力的毕业生。为了实现这一点目标，教师将使用课程来创建学术和继续教育课程培养工业卫生学生的技能；其他健康、科学、工程专业的学生，和技术学科；以及需要继续接受健康和保健教育的专业人员新兴技术的安全性。该计划具有创新性，因为它提供了灵活的在线教师可以首先使用这些材料来培训自己，然后再培训他人适合其组织需求的主题。所有材料都可以在网上免费获得，确保 INTERACCT 计划具有区域、国家和全球影响力。
