The aim of this project is to enhance the educational opportunities available to students and to increase the instructional efficiency of the courses. A video microscopy system is being used to demonstrate microscopic specimens and to teach microscopy techniques. The macroscopic capabilities of the system are used to identify anatomical structures and illustrate dissection techniques. An environmental chamber enables students to examine effects of environmental factors on biological processes. Ecology study chambers allow students to observe intractions between organisms in an controlled environment and to perform pollution studies. Spectrophotometers are used for hemoglobin determination, enzyme kinetics, and water quality testing. Computers are used with the video microscopy system to allow students to observe structures and techniques at their own pace, to quiz themselves at their own pace, and to design an interactive audiovisual presentation with video discs. This equipment allows students to engage in a wide variety of laboratory exercises and enhances the efficiency of laboratory instruction. The college is contributing an amount equal to the award.

该项目的目的是增加学生的教育机会，提高课程的教学效率。一个视频显微镜系统被用来演示显微标本和教授显微镜技术。该系统的宏观能力用于识别解剖结构并说明解剖技术。环境室使学生能够检查环境因素对生物过程的影响。生态学研究室允许学生在受控环境中观察生物体之间的相互作用，并进行污染研究。分光光度计用于血红蛋白测定、酶动力学和水质检测。计算机与视频显微镜系统一起使用，让学生以自己的速度观察结构和技术，以自己的速度进行自我测验，并设计一个互动的视听演示与视频光盘。该设备使学生能够进行各种各样的实验室练习，并提高实验室教学的效率。学院将提供与奖金相等的金额。
