Appalachian Training Program in Occupational Health & Safety

描述(由申请人提供)：西弗吉尼亚大学的工业卫生与项目(IH)教育硕士水平的学生，以帮助满足对职业健康专业人员的需求，这些专业人员在工业卫生、人体工程学和安全方面具有很强的技能，重点是工程控制。IH项目由工程与矿产资源学院(CEMR)的工业与管理系统工程系(IMSE)管理。该项目的目标是培养了解研究，但也愿意并能够利用对危险的认识、代表性抽样以及在工程控制方面的坚实基础来解决现实世界问题的从业者，特别是在通风和噪音控制方面，但也在人体工程学和安全方面。强调控制危险是不寻常的，因此越来越需要。该项目的次要目标是为本科工程师和西弗吉尼亚大学其他专业的硕士和博士生提供入门的IH、安全和人体工程学教育，包括采矿工程、职业医学、工业和劳动关系、安全管理、环境管理和职业安全博士课程。 IH硕士学位要求至少完成41个学期，包括3小时的问题报告或6小时的论文，累积平均绩点至少为3.0。所有学生必须完成IH、空气采样、噪声、通风、安全、流行病学、人体工效学、毒理学和环境科学方面的指定课程。所有必修课程都在工程与矿产资源学院和医学院授课，但学生也可以在大学其他学院选修课程。重点是通过项目、论文和演讲培养书面和口头沟通技能，通过工作场所参观、职业医学诊所的工作以及基于行业的问题报告和研究论文培养行业知识。IH课程被认可为IH的应用科学课程。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by the Applicant): The Industrial Hygiene and program (IH) at West Virginia University educates students at the Masters level to help meet the need for occupational health professionals with strong skills in industrial hygiene, ergonomics, and safety, with an emphasis on engineering controls. The IH program is administered through the Industrial and Management Systems Engineering Department (IMSE) in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources (CEMR). The goal of the program is to train practitioners who understand research but also are willing and able to solve real-world problems using recognition of hazards, representative sampling, and a strong grounding in engineering controls, especially in ventilation and noise control but also in ergonomics and safety. The emphasis on control of hazards is unusual and therefore increasingly needed. A secondary goal of the program is to provide introductory IH, safety, and ergonomics education to undergraduate engineers and to Masters and doctoral students in other programs at WVU, including Mining Engineering, Occupational Medicine, Industrial and Labor Relations, Safety Management, Environmental Management, and the Occupational Safety Doctoral Program. The IH Masters degree requires the completion of a minimum of 41 semester hours, including either a 3-hour problem report or a 6-hour thesis, with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. All students must complete designated courses in IH, air sampling, noise, ventilation, safety, epidemiology, ergonomics, toxicology, and environmental science. All required course work is taught in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources and the School of Medicine, but students may take elective courses in other colleges of the university. Emphasis is placed on the development of written and oral communication skills through projects, papers, and presentations and on industrial knowledge through workplace tours, work in the Occupational Medicine clinic, and industry-based problem reports and research theses. The IH Program is ABET-accredited as an Applied Science program in IH.
