 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Master of Science in Occupational Health degree - Industrial Hygiene program ((MSOH-IH) was originally founded in 1985 and currently is offered by the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences at the University of Toledo Health Science Campus. This IH Program has been continuously accredited by the Applied Science Accreditation Commission - Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ASAC-ABET) for full (6- year) cycles since1996; with the last cycle approved for the period 2014-2020. The primary goal of the Program is to provide master-level education and training to full- and part-time graduate students and members of the public for the purpose of increasing their knowledge, comprehension, skills and attitudes essential to the advancement of occupational health and safety science, practice and research. This is accomplished via a combination of theoretical, practical and applied (i.e. case-based; problem-based) classroom, laboratory, and field teaching and research activities. The program educates and trains individuals mainly from Northwest Ohio region. In turn, graduates are employed as occupational health and safety specialists in the region. In addition, the program accepts students from outside the region and several alumni are employed in other areas throughout the USA, Canada, and Middle East countries. The Industrial Hygiene program adopted the ABET definition for "Program Educational Objectives", that is, "what the program graduates will be qualified to practice at the time of graduation and what most graduates will be able to achieve (e.g. certification; advanced degree; job promotion) a few years after graduation." The three "Program Educational Objectives" for the MSOH-IH program are: (1) AII graduates are expected to be qualified to practice "comprehensive industrial hygiene." (2) Most graduates are expected to practice in the field of Industrial Hygiene or related areas of Environmental and/or Occupational Health and Safety and to meet the relevant and appropriate needs of their employers. (3) When eligible, based on degrees and post-graduate work experience (i.e. 4 years post-graduation), most graduates who pursue applicable certification in occupational health and safety (i.e. CIH; CSP; CHMM) will pass. The program is designed to educate and train 15-20 full-time (FT) or part-time (PT) students (~8 FTE) per year, with funding requested for the FT equivalent of 5 NIOSH trainees per year. Because the applicants to our Program are usually employed full-time and our classes are offered in the evenings and Saturdays, the NIOSH originally allowed us to award the scholarships to both FT and PT students. Since the last round of TPG funding (2009-2014) of the Program by NIOSH/CDC, the program has graduated 25 industrial hygienists (25/5=5/yr); 15 of those (60%; 3/yr), FT or PT, have been awarded scholarship from the funding. The program expects 16-17 IH students to be enrolled in the Program during the Fall semester 2014. As documented in this application, the IH program (a core discipline) at the University of Toledo has filled a critical gap in the Northwest Ohio workforce needs. .

 描述（由申请人提供）： 职业健康理学硕士学位 - 工业卫生课程（（MSOH-IH）最初成立于 1985 年，目前由医学与生命学院公共卫生和预防医学系提供托莱多大学健康科学校区的科学课程已获得应用科学认证委员会 - 工程与技术认证委员会 (ASAC-ABET) 的全面认证。自 1996 年起为期 6 年；最后一个周期为 2014-2020 年，该计划的主要目标是为全日制和非全日制研究生以及公众提供硕士水平的教育和培训。目的是提高他们对职业健康与安全科学、实践和研究的进步至关重要的知识、理解力、技能和态度。这是通过理论、实践和应用（即基于案例、基于问题）课堂的结合来实现的。 、实验室和该计划主要对来自俄亥俄州西北部地区的人员进行教育和培训，此外，该计划还接受来自该地区以外的学生。在美国、加拿大和中东国家的其他地区，工业卫生项目采用了 ABET 对“项目教育目标”的定义，即“该项目的毕业生在毕业时将有资格从事什么工作以及什么是最重要的”。毕业生将能够实现（例如，毕业几年后获得认证、高级学位、职位晋升）。”MSOH-IH 计划的三个“计划教育目标”是：(1) AII 毕业生应具备实践“全面工业卫生”的资格。 (2) 大多数毕业生应在工业卫生领域或环境和/或职业健康与安全相关领域实习，并满足雇主的相关和适当的需求 (3) 当符合资格时，根据学位和职位。 -毕业工作经验（即毕业后 4 年），大多数追求职业健康和安全相关认证（即 CIH、CSP、CHMM）的毕业生都会通过该计划，旨在教育和培训 15-20 名全职 (FT)。或兼职 (PT) 学生（约 8 名 FTE），每年需要为 5 名 NIOSH 受训人员提供相当于 FT 的资金，因为我们计划的申请人通常是全职工作，并且我们的课程是在晚上和周六，NIOSH 最初允许我们向 FT 和 PT 学生颁发奖学金。自 NIOSH/CDC 为该项目提供上一轮 TPG 资助（2009-2014 年）以来，该项目已有 25 名工业卫生员毕业（25 名）。 /5=5/年）；其中 15 名（60%；3/年），FT 或 PT，已获得该项目的奖学金。 16-17 名 IH 学生将于 2014 年秋季学期注册参加该计划。如本申请中所述，托莱多大学的 IH 计划（核心学科）填补了俄亥俄州西北部劳动力需求的关键空白。
