Two pilot courses will be developed that introduce a viable research component for students in their first semester at college. These laboratory-oriented courses will be constructed to heighten interest in science by providing exciting and rewarding original research experiences in the fields of physical, analytical, and biological chemistry. Carefully designed research experiences were chosen which (1) would be of interest to the scientific community, (2) utilize concepts and techniques comprehensible to a college freshman, and (3) are achievable in a limited time. One of the courses, Science Methodology, will engage the students in identifying and measuring physical/chemical data for submission to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. In the second course, Preserving Genomes, students will construct genomic libraries from a wide variety of organisms, including endangered species, for possible inclusion in the American Type Culture Collection.

将开发两个试点课程，为大学第一学期的学生介绍一个可行的研究组成部分。这些以实验室为导向的课程将通过提供令人兴奋和有益的物理、分析和生物化学领域的原创研究经验来提高人们对科学的兴趣。选择了精心设计的研究经验，这些经验(1)会引起科学界的兴趣，(2)利用大学新生可以理解的概念和技术，以及(3)可以在有限的时间内实现。其中一门课程，科学方法论，将让学生识别和测量物理/化学数据，以便提交给《CRC化学和物理手册》。在第二门课程《保存基因组》中，学生将构建包括濒危物种在内的各种生物的基因组文库，以便可能被纳入美国模式培养文库。
