Equipment is being purchased to integrate concepts of environmental sciences throughout the curriculum and develop students' analytical skills. Beginning and advanced students conduct experiments that integrate field and laboratory experiences. They measure responses of plants and animals to their environment and manipulate variables to test hypotheses. Students use a light sensor, leaf area/image analyzer, balances, portable water quality lab, and portable hygrometer/thermometer to measure important environmental parameters. Environmental chambers and a refrigerated incubator allow students to control temperature, light, and humidity to learn how environmental conditions affect essential physiological and ecological processes. Approximately 200 students per year benefit during lab experiences in the first two biology courses. Another 50-60 majors use the equipment in upper level courses, and will have the opportunity to use the modern equipment for independent research in environmental science. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.

正在购买设备，以纳入以下概念： 环境科学贯穿整个课程，并发展 学生的分析能力。 初级和高级学生 进行野外和实验室相结合的实验 经验 他们测量植物和动物对 他们的环境和操纵变量来测试假设。 学生使用光传感器，叶面积/图像分析仪，天平， 便携式水质实验室和便携式湿度计/温度计 测量重要的环境参数。 环境 实验室和冷冻培养箱允许学生控制 温度、光线和湿度，以了解环境 条件影响基本的生理和生态 流程. 每年约有200名学生受益， 在前两门生物课程中有实验室经验。 又是50-60 专业在高级课程中使用设备， 有机会使用现代设备进行独立的 环境科学研究。 该大学将 支付与奖金相等的金额。
