Modern Ray Laboratory Undergraduate Instruction

项目摘要

A principal aim of the upper-level geology curriculum at Hamilton College is to give students direct experience in acquisition and interpretation of geological data, including those obtained using modern instrumentation. Use of modern analytical equipment in the curriculum will ensure not only that students gain experience in acquiring, understanding, and interpreting quantitative data, but also that they will bring a more sophisticated perspective to their upper level courses, in which critical reading of primary literature is an important concern. The geology department will establish a modern X- ray laboratory in order to achieve these goals. This laboratory will consist of an integrated X-ray diffractometer and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer interfaced with a personal computer. Such a facility will give students the opportunity to perform sensitive mineralogical and geochemical analyses of geologic materials. This facility will be intimately integrated into the curriculum through laboratory exercises in Geochemistry, Igneous/Metamorphic Petrology, Sedimentary Geology, and Mineralogy courses. The college requires a senior project of all students, and availability of X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence instrumentation will significantly expand both the types of projects that students will be able to undertake and the quality of the results. The college will match the award with an equal amount of funds.

汉密尔顿高级地质学课程的一个主要目标大学是给学生直接的经验，地质数据的解释，包括使用现代仪器使用现代分析设备课程将确保学生不仅获得经验，获取、理解和解释定量数据，他们将带来一个更复杂的视角，水平的课程，其中初级文学的批判性阅读是一个重要的关注。地质系将建立一个现代化的X- 射线实验室以实现这些目标。该实验室将由集成的X射线衍射仪和X射线荧光仪组成光谱仪与个人计算机接口。这样的设施将让学生有机会进行敏感的矿物学和地质材料的地球化学分析。该设施将通过实验室练习与课程紧密结合在地球化学，火成岩/变质岩石学，沉积地质学，矿物学课程学院要求所有的毕业项目学生，以及X射线衍射和X射线荧光的可用性仪器仪表将大大扩展这两种类型的项目学生将能够承担和结果的质量。该学院将以同等数额的资金来匹配该奖项。
