NSERC CREATE Research and Training via an Institute in Water, Energy and Sustainability

工程师必须能够在融合了公共政策、经济和社会责任的多学科团队中工作。有鉴于此，康科迪亚大学建议建立一个水、能源和可持续发展工程学院，该学院将提供独特的跨学科本科和研究生课程，特别是水、能源和可持续发展工程的硕士课程。拟议计划的长期目标将是培训高素质的人员，以多学科的方式设计系统、解决方案和技术，以减少对环境的影响，重点是水、能源和资源节约，同时使受训者能够制定使生产可持续的行业和政府政策。这一CREATE计划的具体目标是：通过合作，促进实习，增加可持续性方面的研究机会；以跨学科的方式为公共部门、公共部门和工业部门培训HQP；保持和加强教学和研究的跨学科领域；吸引外部研究资金，并培养与外部研究人员和具有相似兴趣的Concordia内部研究人员的关系。拟议的可持续工程硕士课程的新颖性在工程和计算机科学系内外都很明显，并通过实习(Gold Associates、赫斯基、壳牌、SNC-Lavalin、加拿大环境)和共同监督进行合作。将通过研究实验室与蒙特利尔地区的其他大学(理工学院、ETS和麦吉尔大学)、工业(魁北克水电)和政府实验室(NRC和NRCan)协调课程(核心、社会经济和技术)。与无国界工程师组织、京都大学和河内水资源大学的合作将加强国际培训的开展，以获得一名全球工程师。该计划回应了各种组织对可持续发展专业知识的巨大需求，以便将生态、社会和经济方面的关切整合到他们的业务和活动中。

Engineers must be able to work in multidisciplinary teams incorporating public policy, economics, and social responsibility. In light of the above, Concordia University proposes to establish an Institute for Water, Energy, and Sustainability Engineering that will provide a unique interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate programs, particularly Masters programs in Water, Energy and Sustainability Engineering. The long term objectives of the proposed program will be to train highly qualified personnel to design systems, solutions and technologies in a multidisciplinary manner to reduce environmental impact with emphasis on water, energy and resource conservation while enabling trainees to develop industrial and governmental policies that make production sustainable. The specific objectives of this CREATE program are: To catalyze, through collaboration, internships, enhanced research opportunities in sustainability; to train HQP in an interdisciplinary manner for public, parapublic and industrial sectors; to maintain and enhance interdisciplinary areas of teaching and research; and to attract external research funding and foster relationships with external researchers and internal Concordia researchers with similar interests. The novelty of the proposed Masters programs in Sustainable Engineering is evident within and outside the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, and through collaboration via internships (Golder Associates, Husky, Shell, SNC-Lavalin, Environment Canada) and co-supervision. Training will be through research laboratories with the coordination of courses (core, socio-economic and technical) with other universities in the Montreal area (Ecole Polytechnique, ETS and McGill University), industries (Hydro Quebec), and governmental laboratories (NRC and NRCan). Collaboration with Engineers without Borders, Kyoto University and Hanoi Water Resources University will enhance the development of the international training to obtain a Global Engineer. This program responds to the tremendous need for expertise in sustainability by various organizations so that ecological, social and economic concerns can be integrated into their operations and activities.
