Instructional Improvement in the Chemistry Laboratory Program

该项目旨在提升该机构的本科化学课程。其目标是在高级课程中扩大化学实验项目，并提供更多设备来开展以学生为导向的研究项目。该项目是强调校园科学的大学计划的一个组成部分。该项目的具体活动涉及两个具体领域，即(1)购置新设备以扩大可用的实验室实验范围；(2)扩大研究计划。该项目的主要成果是通过改善学生可用的资源，改进本科化学基础课程。这一改进的结果是，大学的毕业生准备得更好，而他们毕业后又能更好地在专业水平上竞争。该机构对该项目的捐款数额略高于国家科学基金会的基金。

This project was designed to upgrade the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at the institution. The objectives were to expand the laboratory program in chemistry in the upper level courses and to provide more equipment with which to carry out student oriented research projects. The project forms an integral part of the University plan to emphasize the sciences on the campus. The specific activities of the project involved two specific areas, namely (1) the acquisition of new equipment to expand the range of laboratory experiments available and (2) the expansion of the research program. The main outcomes of the project are an improvement in the basic undergraduate curriculum in chemistry through an improvement in the resources that are available to the student. The improvement results in a better prepared graduate of the University who in turn is be better able to compete at the professional level after graduation. The institution contributed to the project in an amount slightly in excess of the NSF funds.
