FAST Center for Environmental Remediation, Fate and Transport of Hazardous Chemicals.

摘要

In 1995, U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) funded an interdisciplinary research project entitled 'FAST Center for Environmental Remediation, Fate and Transport of Hazardous Chemicals' at A&T with a funding of $3.35 million for six years. The major accomplishments of the project include: (1) development of infrastructure and facilities for environmental research at A&T (2) significant research contributions in environmental science and engineering, (3) graduation of 25 M.S. graduates in five different disciplines, (4) training of 16 undergraduate assistants, (5) publication of 12 refereed papers and numerous technical presentations and proceedings, (6) resulted in additional funding from NSF, EPA, DOE and USDA for environmental research, (7) initiation of a process to establish a State supported Center for Environmental Remediation and Pollution Prevention at A&T. Because of the FAST Center project, A&T will compete for funding and will make significant research contributions in environmental science and engineering.
