Category:
Environmental Management and Administration

Preferred Project Period:
5/10/10 - 7/30/10

Desired Education Level(s):

Project Title:
The Development, Testing, and Querying of Databases

Sponsoring Office:
Office of Administration and Resources Management-RTP

Project Overview:
Environmental management involves management of the interaction between people and their impact on the environment. The three main issues that affect managers are those that involve politics (networking and relationships), programs (projects and information technology [IT]), and resources (money, facilities, and software). As with all management functions, effective management tools, standards, and systems are required. Information resources management encompasses information technology and integrated management in its protocol to reduce environmental impact. This methodology explores a wider approach and stresses the importance of interdisciplinary assessment.

The process of developing software and guidance is technically complex as the functionality expands the broad scope of various facets. Under this project, the fellow will participate in the testing phase of custom database development. The fellow's research could focus on the overall understanding of management of the interaction between people and their impact on the environment, or on software, testing functionality, analysis of data, and technical writing. These processes are useful in developing software and guidance documents and in adhering to environmental management protocol.

Project Goals:
The fellow working on this project can expect to increase his or her knowledge of the software development lifecycle, software functionality, beta testing, quality assurance review, usability testing, technical writing, and management of the interaction between people and their impact on the environment. Research completed under this fellowship could inform a master's thesis or PhD dissertation.

Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will develop a final report summarizing his or her findings.

Project Location:
EPA Headquarters, Research Triangle Park, NC
