Training Core

在过去的几十年里，人类的聪明才智和活动不幸地导致了新的人造化学品的扩散和释放到环境中。正如我们现在所知道的那样，这种污染问题不是孤立的和局部的，而是在每个国家都存在的。这提出了一个新的问题，如：这些污染物是通过空气或水输送到遥远的地方？它们对人体健康有害吗？它们是否威胁到更敏感的野生动物物种？如何检测环境中的污染？我们能做些什么来加速他们的毁灭呢？由于环境污染影响到每个人的生活，它也给科学家和工程师提出了其他问题，例如哪些法律处理这个问题？哪个州、联邦或国际机构应该参与？科学家和工程师如何告知公众并与公众合作，以减轻恐惧和/或防止伤害？因此，解决环境问题是一个团队的努力。因此，未来的科学家和工程师需要：（一）在其特定领域接受全面培训;（二）在其领域之外具备社会经济、法律的、工程和科学方面的基本知识;（三）能够与其他学科和社会的专家进行交流和合作。这就是十字架的目的-- 纪律培训“无国界”核心项目。这个培训核心建立在isbrp教师和国际同行之间的成功合作。它加强和建立这些科学家之间的新活动，促进跨学科教育，并使用新的信息技术，以连接世界各地的学生和教师。研究生和博士后根据他们的能力，动机和学术记录被招募到该计划中。重点是从科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体中确定和招聘合格的个人。鼓励其他学生、博士后和专业人员利用现代信息技术参与。我们的学生和博士后在前3年的杰出成就证明了培训核心实现了它的使命。研究生院的持续非常慷慨的财政支持，即使在这些具有挑战性的时代，显示了Ul在培训核心的信心。这个isbrp有理想的基础来培养21世纪的科学家。

During the last decades human ingenuity and activity have unfortunately resulted in the proliferation and the release of new man-made chemicals into the environment. As we now know, such pollution problems are not isolated and local, but found in every nation. This poses a magnitude of new questions like: Are these pollutants transported by air or water to distant locations? Are they harmful to human health? Do they threaten more sensitive wildlife species? How can we detect contamination in the environment? What can we do to hasten their destruction? Since environmental contamination touches everyone's life, it also raises other issues for scientists and engineers such as which laws deal with this issue? Which state, federal or international agencies should be involved? How can scientists and engineers inform and work with the public to alleviate fear and/or prevent harm? Solutions to environmental problems are therefore a team effort. Thus, future scientists and engineers need (i) thorough training in their specific field, (ii) basic knowledge about socioeconomic, legal, engineering and science aspects outside their field, and (iii) an ability to communicate and cooperate with specialists in other disciplines and societies. These are the goals of the proposed Cross- Disciplinary Training "Without Borders" core project. This training core builds on successful collaborations among the isbrp faculty and with international colleagues. It enhances and establishes new activities among these scientists that promote cross-disciplinary education, and use new information technology to connect students and faculty around the world. Graduate students and postdocs are recruited into the program based on their ability, motivation and academic record. Emphasis is placed on identifying and recruiting qualified individuals from underrepresented groups in science and engineering. Other students, post-docs and professionals are encouraged to participate by using modern information technology. The outstanding achievements of our students and postdocs in the first 3 years of this isbrp demonstrate that the Training Core achieved its mission. The continuing extremely generous financial support of the Graduate College, even in these challenging times, shows the confidence of Ul in the Training Core. This isbrp has the ideal basis to train the scientist for the 21st century.
