The American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) Foundation will hold a Workshop on Education in Underground Engineering and Science in the U.S. that will bring together 25-35 faculty members from disciplines that use geo-mechanics to discuss the state of underground engineering and science education in this country in terms of curriculum and research. The workshop participants will recommend rock mechanics educational opportunities at the Sanford Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (SUSEL) and, if constructed, the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) facilities, both at the former Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota. The one-day workshop will be held on June 27, 2008 preceding the 42nd U.S. Rock Mechanics Symposium in San Francisco. The purposes of the workshop and the work preceding it are to: 1. Survey U.S education institutions that teach geo-mechanics (rock mechanics and rock engineering) taking into account the various disciplines that make use of rock-related information. 2. Assess the educational infrastructure in terms of its ability to teach and the ability to attract students for underground engineering and science at the undergraduate and graduate levels. 3. Recommend educational opportunities at the SUSEL/DUSEL. An organizing committee of 5 persons representing a variety of expertise and geographic locations have been assembled chaired by Dr. Herbert Einstein of MIT. The results of these deliberations will be summarized in a final report that will be widely distributed in academic institutions. This project will advance the disciplines of underground science and engineering by identifying for improvement the challenges and opportunities in the U.S. educational infrastructure. Broader impacts resulting from this workshop will take place as students graduate and go on conduct research at the underground laboratories and/or enter industrial/educational positions. Such research may improve our understanding of how rock behaves resulting in enhancements to national security, hazard mitigation, civil infrastructure systems, radioactive waste storage and other areas that involve understanding the underground.

美国摇滚力学协会（ARMA）基金会将在美国举办一个关于地下工程和科学教育的研讨会，将从学科中汇集25-35名教职员工，这些教师使用地理力学来讨论地下工程和科学教育的状况这个国家在课程和研究方面。 研讨会的参与者将在Sanford Underground Science和工程实验室（SUSEL）推荐岩石力学教育机会，如果建造了深层的地下科学与工程实验室（Dusel）设施，则在南达科他州的Lead Homestake Mine。为期一天的研讨会将于2008年6月27日举行，在旧金山第42届美国岩石力学研讨会之前。研讨会的目的及其之前的工作是：1。考虑使用与岩石相关信息的各种学科，教授地理力学（摇滚力学和摇滚工程）的美国教育机构。 2.根据其教学能力以及吸引学生在本科和研究生一级吸引学生进行地下工程和科学的能力来评估教育基础设施。 3。在Susel/Dusel推荐教育机会。由MIT的Herbert Einstein博士组建了一个由代表各种专业知识和地理地点的5人组成的组织委员会。 这些审议的结果将在最终报告中总结，该报告将在学术机构中广泛分发。该项目将通过确定改善美国教育基础设施的挑战和机遇来推动地下科学和工程学的学科。在学生毕业并在地下实验室进行研究和/或进入工业/教育职位时，该研讨会引起的更广泛的影响将发生。这样的研究可能会提高我们对岩石行为的理解，从而增强国家安全，缓解危险，民用基础设施系统，放射性废物存储以及其他涉及理解地下的领域。
