项目摘要

Dillard University's Targeted Infusion Project entitled - An Interdisciplinary Urban Environmental Studies Initiative (TIP-IUES)- seeks to develop undergraduate students who are well-trained in the use of multiple frames of reference to explore linkages between natural and built ecosystems and the human behaviors that drive environmental and natural resource changes. This initiative will design and implement an interdisciplinary urban environmental studies concentration which will span four disciplines: biology/biochemistry, computer science, urban studies/policies, and applied mathematics. The project will support the creation of two courses (an introductory urban environmental studies course and an applied environmental microbiology course), student-driven research projects, and an open-source platform (EnviroThursday) for exchange between the Dillard community, city officials and city planners, and the public. The objectives of the project are: to develop two courses which will orient students to current trends in urban ecosystems and prepare them for graduate study in the field of environmental studies; to modify URB335 Geographic Information Systems to better equip students with the skill sets to conduct research in the field of environmental science; to design an Interdisciplinary Urban Environmental Studies concentration that will lead to interdisciplinary certification in conjunction with Dillard's Deep South Center for Environmental Justice; and to engage undergraduates in environmental research.

迪拉德大学（Dillard University）的有针对性的输液项目题为“跨学科的城市环境研究计划（TIP-IUES） - 试图开发在使用多个参考框架方面训练有素的本科生，以探索自然和建筑生态系统之间的联系以及驱动环境和自然资源变化的人类行为之间的联系。该计划将设计和实施跨学科的城市环境研究集中度，该研究将涵盖四个学科：生物学/生物化学，计算机科学，城市研究/政策和应用数学。该项目将支持创建两个课程（一个介绍性的城市环境研究课程和应用环境微生物学课程），学生驱动的研究项目以及开源平台（Envirothursday），以在Dillard社区，城市官员和城市官员和城市计划者和公众之间进行交流。该项目的目标是：开发两个课程，这些课程将使学生与城市生态系统的当前趋势保持一致，并为他们在环境研究领域的研究生学习做好准备；修改URB335地理信息系统，以更好地为学生提供在环境科学领域进行研究的技能；设计一个跨学科的城市环境研究集中度，该研究将与迪拉德（Dillard）的深南环境正义中心（Dillard Deep South Center for Endroment Grustion）一起导致跨学科认证；并吸引大学生参与环境研究。
