Acquisition of Equipment for Undergraduate Geophysics Instruction

授予伦斯勒理工学院的这一奖项是对提交给NSF仪器和实验室改进计划的一项建议的回应，该计划的目标是扩大对本科生教学设备的支持。该合同将提供为本科生教学和研究购置地球物理场仪器所需资金的一半。RPI致力于与NSF对该设备的贡献相匹配。该仪器将用于加强本科生的地球物理和地质学课程，并为学生提供获取和处理地球物理数据的机会。

This award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is made in response to a proposal submitted to the NSF Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program, a program whose goal is to extend support for undergraduate instructional equipment. The award will provide one-half of the funds needed to acquire geophysical field instruments for undergraduate instruction and research. RPI is committed to matching the NSF contribution for this equipment. The instrumentation will be used to enhance the undergraduate geophysics and geology curriculum and to provide the opportunity for students to acquire and process geophysical data.
