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

一门新的课程“环境生物学中的野外、调查和分析技术”正在开发中。这门新课程向学生介绍新的概念和技术，旨在激发学生对研究性学习和研究项目的兴趣。通过使用通过该奖项获得的设备，生物学专业的学生在描述和分析生态系统方面获得了经验，以及在假设结构、实地采样、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方面获得经验。正在通过研究阿纳卡斯蒂亚河、波托马克河和切萨皮克湾的水生和陆地成分，介绍实地研究水生和陆地生境的方法和技术。通过使用新推出的荧光显微镜和相差显微镜、荧光计、离子分析仪、分光光度计、筛子振荡器、培养箱、菌落计数器、炉子、BOD和pH计，学生们正在为未来的研究生或实验室/研究岗位做好更好的准备。像加拉德特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的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.
