As part of a major institutional effort to enhance the Biology program for science majors, prospective science teachers, and non-science students, this project is providing two types of laboratory equipment: a physiograph system for detecting, recording, and quantifying basic physiological functions, and stereoscopic microscopes for examining and identifying small organisms. The equipment is being used by a variety of students, from first-year Biology majors and Science Education students to advanced students conducting independent research. About one-half of the students belong to an underrepresented minority -- Hispanic, Native American, or Black. A substantial number also are non-traditional, older students acquiring advanced education in order to enhance their ability to work in science- or technology-related employment. Most are women.

作为一个主要的机构努力，以提高科学专业，未来的科学教师和非科学学生的生物学计划的一部分，该项目提供两种类型的实验室设备：一个物理记录系统，用于检测，记录和量化基本的生理功能，和立体显微镜检查和识别小生物体。该设备被各种各样的学生使用，从一年级的生物学专业和科学教育学生到进行独立研究的高级学生。大约一半的学生属于代表性不足的少数民族-西班牙裔，美洲土著人或黑人。还有相当多的人是非传统的、年龄较大的学生，他们接受高等教育是为了提高他们从事与科学或技术有关的工作的能力。大多数是妇女。
