Environmental Engineering Chairs and Directors Conference: Preparing the Future Stewards of our Planet, July 29-31,2012, Columbus, OH

CBET-1239114 BurkenFunds被要求创建一个环境工程主席和董事会议。本次会议和持续的努力将集中在建立一个持续的沟通平台，以解决教育和培训那些进入环境工程专业的需求。通过AEESP和AAEE协调努力，我们努力将来自全国各地的当前环境工程系主任和项目负责人聚集在一起，为期两天的会议将作为协调全国一致努力的开创性活动，以改善和援助这些计划正在确定持续需要的领域，并在困难的大学资金时代协助发展新计划的挑战。本次会议由环境工程与科学教授协会和美国环境工程师学会联合举办。拟议的会议将对环境工程领域产生广泛而深刻的影响，特别是培养增长最快，最多样化的工程领域的教育过程。我们的国家和地球面临的环境挑战是巨大的，工程师的培训，以处理对人类健康和繁荣有如此广泛影响的领域是非常需要的。这种培训和教育也将转化为更好地理解环境工程领域与公共卫生和社会福祉的联系。

CBET-1239114 BurkenFunds are requested to create an Environmental Engineering Chairs and Directors Conference. This conference and continuing effort will focus at establishing a continuing communications platform to address the needs of educating and training those entering the environmental engineering profession. Coordinating efforts through AEESP and AAEE, we strive to pull together the current environmental engineering department chairs and program directors from across the country for a two-day conference that will serve as the seminal event in coordinating a concerted national effort to improve and aid these programs is identifying areas of continued need and assist in the challenges of growing new programs in times of difficult university funding. This conference is organized jointly by Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors and the American Academy of Environmental Engineers. The proposed conference will have broad and profound impacts on the field of environmental engineering, and specifically the educational process that trains the fastest growing and most diverse field of engineering. The environmental challenges that face our nation and planet are of a grand scale, and the training of engineers to handle a field with such extensive impact on human health and prosperity is of great need. This training and education will also translate into a better understanding in the field of environmental engineering of the linkages to public health and societal well being.
