描述（由申请人提供）：杜兰大学工业卫生计划的目的是为候选人提供工业卫生培训，使他们能够在政府，劳工，私营部门和学术界寻求就业。培训项目赠款用于增加工业卫生领域少数民族和处境不利学生的人数。培训补助金是通过杜兰大学的校园工业卫生计划管理的。工业卫生计划是综合性的，包括各种公共卫生学科的核心课程。课程包括流行病学，生物统计学，毒理学，放射卫生，工业通风，物理制剂，空气采样和分析职业健康，工业卫生原理和空气污染。此外，所有全日制学生参加每周一次的部门研讨会。学生还可以从该部门的其他学科中选择选修课，例如危险废物管理，风险评估，工厂运营的安全和工业卫生方面的原则。 目前有八名学生在校园计划。除了我们的校园计划，我们的远程学习计划继续取得成功。有30多名学生报名参加了远程学习计划。两名在校学生定于2011年12月毕业，正在寻找工作。2010年12月，一名学生从校内课程毕业，2009年和2010年共有7名学生通过互联网远程学习模式毕业。所有人都是职业安全和健康专业人员。工业卫生研究实验室（HERB 222和225）是用于教学工业卫生实验室课程的主要实验室。这些都是在罗伊·兰多博士的指导下进行的。Rando博士还拥有大部分专用于教学的工业卫生设备。这包括噪音测量设备，热应力监测仪等。工业卫生和空气污染的教学实验室位于21楼的 潮水大厦。 公共卫生相关性：该项目将提供工业卫生核心学科的研究生培训，并帮助实现健康促进和疾病预防。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the Industrial Hygiene program at Tulane University is to provide industrial hygiene training for candidates, enabling them to seek employment in government, labor, the private sector, and in academia. The training project grant is used to increase the number of minority and disadvantaged students in the field of industrial hygiene. The training grant is administered through Tulane University's on-campus industrial hygiene program. The Industrial Hygiene program is comprehensive and includes core courses from various public health disciplines. Courses include epidemiology, biostatistics, toxicology, radiological health, industrial ventilation, physical agents, air sampling and analysis occupational health, principles of industrial hygiene, and air pollution. In addition, all full-tim students participate in a weekly departmental seminar. Students also select electives from the other disciplines within the department, such as, hazardous waste management, risk assessment, principles of safety and industrial hygiene aspects of plant operations. Currently there are eight students in the on-campus program. In addition to our on-campus program, our distance learning program continues to be successful. There are over thirty students enrolled in the distance learning program. Two on-campus students are scheduled to graduate in December 2011 and are seeking employment. One student graduated from the on-campus program in December 2010 and a total of 7 students graduated via the internet distance learning mode in 2009 and 2010. All are employed as occupational safety and health professionals. The Industrial Hygiene Research Laboratories (HERB 222, and 225) are the primary laboratories used in teaching industrial hygiene laboratory courses. These are under the direction of Dr. Roy Rando. Dr. Rando also houses most of the industrial hygiene equipment dedicated to teaching. This includes noise measurement equipment, heat stress monitors, etc. Teaching laboratories for industrial hygiene and air pollution are located on the 21st floor of the Tidewater Building. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will provide graduate training in the core discipline of Industrial Hygiene and help achieve health promotion and disease prevention.
