Remediation Education Network (RENEW)

补救教育网络（RENEW）是一个CREATE计划，将培训下一代工程师和科学家，使他们掌握清理加拿大最具挑战性的污染场地所需的跨学科专业和技术技能。 土壤和地下水的污染是一个紧迫的问题，仅在加拿大就影响到30 000个地点，在不断增长和至关重要的加拿大环境部门有60 000多名工人。四所加拿大大学、十一所国际学术机构和八家领先的环境修复公司将合作开展这一至关重要的培训和研究项目。 地下水补救是一项复杂的工作，需要基础广泛的技术知识，最好通过实践培训学习，并辅之以专业技能培训。 每位学员将参加：（1）专业技能发展，包括科学传播培训，项目管理/领导力培训的创新计划，并通过行业接触接触商业和监管环境;（2）实地方法，安全，实地研究的实地培训;（3）与合作伙伴公司的实习;（4）跨学科课程，包括水文地质学、地球化学、微生物学、模拟和补救工程方面的学术课程，由来自不同大学的教员通过视频会议授课;（5）由教授和行业合作伙伴领导的短期课程，将探讨技术和专业主题，包括环境立法。 学员还将有机会与我们的国际合作伙伴合作，了解世界各地的环境实践。 RENEW计划将培养高素质的毕业生，他们将成为加拿大环境部门的领导者，无论他们选择在私营部门，学术界或政府的职业生涯。

The Remediation Education Network (RENEW) is a CREATE program that will train the next generation of engineers and scientists in the interdisciplinary professional and technical skills they need to work at cleaning up the most challenging contaminated sites in Canada. Contamination of soil and groundwater is an urgent problem affecting 30,000 sites in Canada alone that engages over 60,000 workers in the growing and vital Canadian environmental sector. Four Canadian universities, eleven international academic institutions and eight leading environmental remediation firms will collaborate on this vitally important training and research program. Groundwater remediation is a complex endeavour requiring broad-based technical knowledge best learned through hands-on training, complemented by professional skills training. Each trainee will participate in: (1) Professional skills development including an innovative program of science communications training, project management / leadership training, and exposure to the business and regulatory landscape through industry contact; (2) Field-based training in field methods, safety, field-based research; (3) Internships with partner firms; (4) Interdisciplinary coursework including academic courses in hydrogeology, geochemistry, microbiology, simulation, and remediation engineering from instructors from the different universities through videoconferencing; (5) Short courses led by professors and industry partners that will explore technical and professional topics, including environmental legislation. Trainees will also have opportunities to work with our international partners to learn about environmental practices around the world. The RENEW program will produce high calibre graduates who will become leaders in the Canadian environmental sector, whether they choose careers in the private sector, academia or government.
