The School of Engineering and Applied Science ofthe Umversity of Virginia believes that research goes hand in hand with teaching. Early in the development ofits graduate training program, the School recognized that men and women engaged in research should be as free as possible of the administrative duties involved ;n sponsored research. I n'1959, therefore, the Research Laboratories for the Engineering Sciences (RLES) was established and assigned the administrative responsibility for such research within the School. The director of R LES himself a faculty member and researcher -maintains familiarity with the support requirements of the research under way. He is aided by an Academic Advisory Committee, made up of a faculty representative from each academic department of the School. ThicCommittee serves to inform RLES of the needs and perspectives of the research program. In addition to administrative support, REES is charged with providing certain technical assistance. Because itis not practical for each oepartment to become self-sufficient in all phases of the supporting, technology essential to present-day research, REES makes services available through the following support groups Machine Shop, Instrumentation, Facilities Services, Publications (inchicling photographic facilities), .and Computer Terminal Maintenance. 4 DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERPRETIVE,STRUCTURAL MODEL AND STRATEGIES FOR:-WLEMENTATION BASED ON A DESCRIPTIVE AND PUSCRTPTIVE ANALYSIS OFRESOURCES VOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION/STUDILS EVALUATING A REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTALLEARNING SYSTEM VOLUME V Final Report Contra-ct No. 300-700-4028 Work Supported Under the Environmental Education Act of 1970 P.
