Introduction of Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to Undergraduate Students

9352152泰勒该大学将购买一台电感耦合等离子体分光光度计，用于将其纳入本科生课程的分析仪器化学部分，该课程横跨化学、水生毒理学/化学、生物学、微生物学和医疗技术等学科。将电感耦合等离子体纳入课程，将提高学生对现代分析化学仪器的理论、操作和应用的教育能力。电感耦合等离子体是一种相对较新的技术，目前在工业和政府中普遍用于金属离子的分析；然而，电感耦合等离子体的原理、操作和应用在本科大学中并不常见。这所大学形成了一种由来已久的理念，即实验室中的动手培训是年轻科学家教育的基石。电感耦合等离子体将被纳入三个正式课程：仪器分析、水分析标准方法和水生毒理学。此外，作为本科生研究的一部分，许多学生将获得与国际比较方案有关的高级经验。

9352152 Taylor The university will purchase an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) Spectrophotometer for incorporation into the analytical instrumental chemistry components of their undergraduate programs, which traverse the disciplines of chemistry, aquatic toxicology/chemistry, biology, microbiology and medical technology. The incorporation of ICP into the curricula will enhance their ability to educate students about the theory, operation and applications of modern instrumentation in analytical chemistry. ICP is a relatively new technology that is now commonly used in industry and government for the analysis of metal ions; however, the principles, operation, and applications of ICP are not commonly taught at undergraduate universities. The university has developed a long-standing philosophy that "hands-on" training in the laboratory is the cornerstone in the education of young scientists. ICP will be incorporated into three formal classes: Instrumental Analysis, Standard Methods of Water Analysis, and Aquatic Toxicology. In addition, many students will gain advanced experience with the ICP as part of their undergraduate research.
