2013 AEESP Conference and CAREER Workshop: Environmental Engineers and Scientists of 2050, July 14-16, 2013 in Golden, Colorado

linda figueroa本提案的目的是部分支持2013年AEESP研究和教育会议，包括一个研讨会，以帮助初级教师进行职业规划和准备NSF职业建议。这笔资金还将用于部分抵消应邀出席会议的演讲者在美国的费用。2013年AEESP研究与教育会议将由科罗拉多矿业学院（CSM）、科罗拉多大学博尔德分校（CUB）和丹佛分校（UCD）主办，在科罗拉多州戈尔登的CSM校区举行。会议将于2013年7月14日至16日举行。科罗拉多大学的团队通过竞争性提案程序被选为2013年会议的东道主。AEESP会议是环境工程与科学教授协会（AEESP）的旗舰活动。这次会议是学术界和实践者之间交流信息的场所，特别是与创新研究的进步和为环境工程专业实践的学生做准备有关。在这方面，会议有利于环境工程和科学的实践，提高我们教育下一代环境工程师和科学家的集体能力，并促进我们领域知识的发现和进步。来自美国各地的环境工程/科学教授通常都出席了会议。预计参加2013年会议的人数约为400人，其中包括研究生和早期职业教师。会议的主题是2050年的环境科学家和工程师，这将有助于通过促进对话和提高对不同全球视角的认识，为未来的挑战做好准备，使教师和学生具备全球竞争力。专业从业员在今年成立法团？会议的目的是吸引、培训和留住更加多样化、全球一体化和有竞争力的科学和工程劳动力。在会议范围内将研究和教育结合起来，技术会议加上与会议同时举行的讲习班，将导致课程和课程编制方面的创新。将征聘在环境工程方面人数不足的团体的成员参加讲习班，特别是职业发展讲习班。这将包括研究生、博士后研究人员和早期职业教师。四名全国知名人士（Lisa Jackson-EPA, Glen Daigger-CH2MHill， George tchobanoglou - uc Davis和Susan Powers-Clarkson）被邀请在会议上发表主题演讲，主题包括全球视角，我们领域的未来以及我们教育广度和使命的演变。这些全国知名人士参加会议将为与会者提供环境科学与工程领域的教育工作者和实践者通常无法获得的观点和机会。会议的重点和调查结果的会后报告将在AEESP季度通讯中发表，并将通过其他适当渠道（网站、电子邮件分发清单等）传播。

CBET 1324580Linda FigueroaThe purpose of this proposal is to partially support the 2013 AEESP Research and Education Conference, including a workshop to assist junior faculty members with career planning and with the preparation of NSF CAREER proposals. The funding would also be used to partially offset the U.S. expenses of invited speakers to attend the conference. The 2013 AEESP Research and Education Conference will be hosted by the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) and the University of Colorado, Boulder (CUB) and Denver (UCD) and held on the CSM Campus in Golden, Colorado. The Conference will be held July 14-16, 2013. The team of Colorado Universities was selected to host the 2013 Conference through a competitive proposal process. The AEESP Conference is the flagship event of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP). This conference serves as a venue for the exchange of information between the academic and practitioner communities, particularly relating to the advancement of innovative research and the preparation of students for professional practice in environmental engineering. In this regard, the Conference benefits the practice of environmental engineering and science, improves our collective ability to educate the next generation of environmental engineers and scientists, and facilitates discovery and advancement of knowledge in our field. The Conference is typically well attended by Environmental Engineering/Science professors from throughout the United States. Anticipated attendance at the 2013 Conference is approximately 400 attendees, including graduate students and early-career faculty.The theme of the Conference is the Environmental Scientist and Engineer of 2050, which will help to prepare faculty and students to be globally competitive by promoting dialog and increasing awareness of different global perspectives and to be ready for the challenges of the future. Incorporation of professional practitioners at this year?s Conference aims to attract, train, and retain a more diverse, globally integrated, and competitive science and engineering workforce. The integration of research and education within the Conference technical sessions, coupled with the workshops held in conjunction with the Conference, will lead to innovation in course and curriculum development. Members of groups underrepresented in environmental engineering will be recruited to participate in the workshops, particularly the CAREER workshop. This will include graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and early-career faculty members. Four nationally-prominent individuals (Lisa Jackson-EPA, Glen Daigger-CH2MHill, George Tchobanoglous-UC Davis and Susan Powers-Clarkson) have been invited to deliver keynote speeches at the Conference on topics that include global perspective, future of our field and the evolution of our educational breadth and mission. The participation of these nationally prominent individuals at the Conference will provide Conference attendees with perspectives and opportunities not typically available to educators and practitioners in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. A post-conference report of highlights and findings from the Conference will be published in the quarterly AEESP newsletter and will be disseminated through other appropriate channels (web site, email distribution list, etc.).
