Experiment Design for Environmental Engineering: Methods and Examples
暫譯: 環境工程實驗設計：方法與範例

《環境工程實驗設計》提供了一系列實用的環境工程實驗，供大學實驗室的學生或在該領域工作的專業人士實施，並廣泛討論如何設計能夠提供有意義且有用數據的實驗、如何解釋實驗產生的數據，以及如何將這些數據呈現給其他學生或專業人士的觀眾。示例實驗提供了一種評估新設計與現有實驗之間的方式，以確定每個部分中最合適的信息以及如何格式化數據以獲得最佳結果。

Prof. Francis J. Hopcroft recently retired from teaching civil and environmental engineering after 23 years in the classroom and about 40 years of consulting in the field. He is the author of 6 environmental engineering and hazardous waste management books, the coauthor of 22 such books, and a contributor to a dozen or more professional manuals of practice. Prof. Hopcroft was registered as a Professional Engineer in all six New England states and as a Licensed Site Professional in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Before starting his teaching career, Prof. Hopcroft spend 25 years in professional practice as a consultant, an EPA regulator and as the President of several consulting firms doing site assessment for the presence of hazardous materials. He continued his consulting work while teaching to maintain currency in his field and to bring current concepts into the classroom.
Dr. Abigail Charest is an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at Wentworth Institute of Technology (WIT) in Boston, Massachusetts since August 2014. Dr. Charest is currently the Blittersdorf Endowed Professor and the civil graduate coordinator. Dr. Charest is an avid researcher, competent experimenter, and exceptional innovator in the laboratory. She is focused on the biological nature of environmental work and has developed the biological experiments in this book, among others. She has also been the lead faculty member in the redevelopment of a graduate program in civil engineering at Wentworth and has incorporated significant research and experimentation opportunities into that program. Dr. Charest received her doctorate from the Worcester Polytechnic University, and prior to entering into academia, Dr. Charest worked in the field of environmental consulting the New England Area. During this time, she received her Professional Engineering license in the state of Massachusetts.
Dr. Gautham P. Das has served as Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Wentworth Institute of Technology (WIT) in Boston, Massachusetts since August 2008. Dr. Das received a doctorate from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Dr. Das is currently an Elder Endowed Professor at WIT. Prior to starting his teaching career, Dr. Das worked for environmental consulting firms in North Carolina and Boston. His expertise lies in Water Resources, Hydraulic Engineering and Environmental Remediation. He is active in the Water Environment Federation, the New England Water Environment Association and the American Society for Engineering Education. He has authored numerous technical papers on various civil and environmental engineering subjects that have been presented at technical conferences and appeared in the Proceedings of those conferences.

教授弗朗西斯·J·霍普克羅夫特（Francis J. Hopcroft）最近從土木與環境工程的教學工作中退休，擁有23年的教學經驗和約40年的專業諮詢經歷。他是6本環境工程和危險廢物管理書籍的作者，22本書的合著者，以及十多本專業實務手冊的貢獻者。霍普克羅夫特教授在新英格蘭六個州都註冊為專業工程師，並在馬薩諸塞州擔任註冊現場專業人員。在開始教學生涯之前，霍普克羅夫特教授在專業實務中擔任顧問、環保署（EPA）監管者，以及幾家顧問公司的總裁，從事危險材料現場評估的工作。他在教學期間繼續進行諮詢工作，以保持在其領域的最新知識，並將當前的概念帶入課堂。

阿比蓋爾·查雷斯博士（Abigail Charest）自2014年8月以來擔任馬薩諸塞州波士頓的溫特沃斯科技學院（Wentworth Institute of Technology, WIT）土木工程副教授。查雷斯博士目前是布利特斯多夫（Blittersdorf）捐贈教授及土木研究生協調員。查雷斯博士是一位熱衷於研究的學者，擅長實驗，並在實驗室中展現出卓越的創新能力。她專注於環境工作的生物性質，並在本書中開發了生物實驗等內容。她還是溫特沃斯土木工程研究生課程重建的主要教學成員，並在該課程中融入了重要的研究和實驗機會。查雷斯博士在伍斯特理工學院（Worcester Polytechnic University）獲得博士學位，在進入學術界之前，查雷斯博士曾在新英格蘭地區的環境諮詢領域工作。在此期間，她在馬薩諸塞州獲得了專業工程師執照。

高塔姆·P·達斯博士（Gautham P. Das）自2008年8月以來擔任馬薩諸塞州波士頓的溫特沃斯科技學院（WIT）土木與環境工程副教授。達斯博士在北卡羅來納州夏洛特大學獲得博士學位。達斯博士目前是WIT的長者捐贈教授。在開始教學生涯之前，達斯博士曾在北卡羅來納州和波士頓的環境諮詢公司工作。他的專業領域包括水資源、水力工程和環境修復。他活躍於水環境聯盟（Water Environment Federation）、新英格蘭水環境協會（New England Water Environment Association）和美國工程教育學會（American Society for Engineering Education）。他撰寫了多篇有關各種土木與環境工程主題的技術論文，並在技術會議上發表，這些論文也出現在會議的會議紀錄中。
