Renovation of Advanced Materials Laboratory in Chemical Engineering

该奖项将支持普渡大学化学工程高级材料实验室的翻新。1987年，普渡将材料的分子和工程性质研究确定为其对科学的贡献的战略领域。根据他们的战略计划，他们已经启动了一个进程，以加强材料科学中涉及的分析过程，并改进和提供这一研究领域的各种学生的复杂培训。普渡已经购买了一些最新和最复杂的分析仪器用于材料分析，但现在正在翻新这些仪器所在的过时的实验室。这次翻修将使约2600平方英尺的实验室空间现代化：1)支持研究生和本科生的论文研究；2)改进一个创新的项目，培训学生设计和执行实验研究。这一改造项目将直接影响到8名教职员工、44名研究生、4名博士后研究员和大量本科生，同时提高该机构在材料科学方面的研究和培养能力。

Reklaitis This award will support the renovation of the Advanced Materials Laboratory in Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. In 1987, Purdue identified research in the molecular and engineering properties of materials as a strategic area for their contributions to science. Following their strategic plan, they have put in motion a process to strengthen the analytical processes involved in materials science as well as improve and provide for sophisticated training of a diversity of students in this research area. Purdue has already acquired some of the latest and most sophisticated analytical instrumentation for materials analysis but is now renovating the out-dated labs in which this instrumentation is housed. This renovation will modernize about 2600 square feet of lab space designed: 1) to support graduate and undergraduate thesis research; and 2)to improve an innovative program for training students in the design and execution of experimental research. This renovation project will directly impact 8 faculty, 44 graduate students, 4 postdoctoral fellows and a large number of undergraduate students while increasing this institutions capability to do research and train students in materials science.
