Equipment for Teaching Field, Survey, and Analysis Techniques in Environmental Biology to Undergraduates.

开设了一门新课程“环境生物学中的野外、调查和分析技术”。这门新课程旨在向学生介绍新的概念和技术，以激发他们对调查研究和研究项目的兴趣。生物学专业的学生正在使用通过该奖项获得的设备，在生态系统的描述和分析、假设结构、实地抽样、文献检索和使用、描述和分析统计技术、实地调查和实验设计方法等方面获得经验。通过对阿纳科斯蒂亚河和波托马克河以及切萨皮克湾的水生和陆地组成部分的研究，介绍了水生和陆地生境实地研究所涉及的方法和技术。通过使用最新的荧光显微镜和相显微镜、荧光仪、离子分析仪、分光光度计、筛振动筛、培养箱、菌落计数器、炉、生化需氧量和pH计，学生们为将来的研究生或实验室/研究职位做了更好的准备。像加劳德特大学课程的所有其他部分一样，这个项目是专门为满足听力严重受损学生的需求而设计的。

A new course "Field, Survey, and Analysis Techniques in Environmental Biology" is being developed. This new course is introducing the students to new concepts and techniques in ways designed to stimulate interest in investigative studies and in research projects. Using the equipment procured through this award, Biology majors are gaining experience in the description and analysis of ecological systems, as well as in hypothesis structuring, field sampling, literature retrieval and use, descriptive and analytical statistical techniques, field surveys and experimental design methods. Methods and techniques involved in field studies of aquatic and terrestrial habitats are being introduced through studies of aquatic and terrestrial components of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Students are becoming better prepared for future graduate or lab/research positions by using the newly available fluorescent and phase microscopes, fluorometer, ion analyzer, spectrophotometer, sieve shaker, incubator, colony counter, furnace, and BOD and pH meters. Like all other parts of the Gallaudet curriculum, this program is designed especially to meet the needs of students with severely impaired hearing.
