Professor Training Workshops. The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) is faced with the significant challenge of diverting or safely managing more than 40 million waste tires generated each year in California. Because of the potential to use large quantities of waste tires in construction projects, CIWMB is focusing marketing efforts on using waste tires in rubberized hot mix asphalt concrete (RHMA) and civil engineering (CE) applications (retaining wall backfills, slope stabilization, light weight fills, landfill leachate, etc.). In order to prompt sustainable usage of waste tires in civil engineering, it is very important to teach university students, who are the future engineers about waste tires applications in civil engineering and transportation fields. The teaching materials were developed at the CP2 Center and CSU Chico. One way of reaching more students is to train professors and let the professors disseminate this important knowledge to the students in California. It take collaborative efforts to finish this important and meaningful goal of sustainable usage of waste tire products.
