The new instruments provided through this award, along with equipment already held by the department, is supporting the creation of an important new central laboratory facility for teaching cellular biology. The facility serves seven upper biology component. Of these courses, four use the facility on a full-time basis; the remaining three courses utilize the facility on a pre-arranged academic schedule to conduct laboratory exercises which require cell biology instrumentation. The new equipment is being used for the preparation and analysis of living cells. Major items include laminar flow hoods, a fluorescence microscope, an infrared gas analyzer, and a scanning spectrophotometer. As a direct result of the acquisition of this equipment, the core curriculum in cell biology is being substantially upgraded. The project permits the development of new cell biology experiments, lower division demonstrations, and the improvement of existing lab exercises. These improvements are bringing stte-or-the-art techniques to the curriculum and reinforcing the teaching of modern cell biology principles, thus better preparing undergraduates for future jobs and/or graduate studies. The grantee is matching the NSF award with a slightly greater sum obtained from non-Federal sources.

通过该奖项提供的新工具，沿着 该部门已经拥有的设备，正在支持 创建一个重要的新中心实验室设施， 教授细胞生物学 该设施提供七个上层 生物成分。 在这些课程中，有四个课程在一个 全日制;其余三门课程利用该设施 在预先安排的学术时间表进行实验 需要细胞生物学仪器的练习。 新设备用于制备和 活细胞分析 主要项目包括层流 罩，荧光显微镜，红外气体分析仪，和 扫描分光光度计 的直接结果 获得这一设备，核心课程在细胞 生物学正在得到实质性的提升。 该项目允许 开发新的细胞生物学实验，低分化 演示，以及现有实验室练习的改进。 这些改进将最先进的技术带到了 加强现代细胞生物学教学 原则，从而更好地为大学生未来的工作做好准备 和/或研究生学习。 受赠人正在匹配NSF奖 从非联邦来源获得的金额略多。
