The college is developing an undergraduate astronomy laboratory. Courses in astronomy have been part of Natural Science Division curriculum for the past four years. The laboratory course made possible with the grant can be taken concurrently with either Planetary or Galactic Astronomy. It is taught at an introductory level. The equipment will be used by students learning how to use a telescope, plan an observation, use the stellar coordinate system, photograph celestial events and develop their own images. Furthermore, students study planetary surfaces by means of laser video disc images. The college is matching the award with an equal amount of funds.

该学院正在开发一个本科生天文实验室。在过去的四年里，天文学课程一直是自然科学系课程的一部分。利用这笔赠款，实验室课程可以与行星天文学或银河系天文学同时进行。它是在入门水平上教授的。这些设备将供学习如何使用望远镜、计划观测、使用恒星坐标系、拍摄天体事件和开发自己的图像的学生使用。此外，学生还通过激光视盘图像研究行星表面。该学院正在用等额的资金来匹配这一奖项。
