9451053 Juhl This project introduces students from two technician education programs to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) through an interdisciplinary environmental monitoring project. In a collaborative study of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Chemical Laboratory Technician and Hazardous Materials Technician students analyzes water samples for various organic and inorganic constit- uents using GC/MS, Ion Chromatography (IC), wet chemistry techniques, and field testing equipment. The project requires groups of students to create objectives, identify and implement procedures, follow protocols standard to industry and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and report analyses to certain state and conservation agencies. The GC/MS is used to determine the presence of specific pesticides and volatile organic compounds in the river due to heavy agriculture in the river's drainage. Availability of a GC/MS allows authentic environmental monitoring following EPA guidelines, acquaints students with a critical analytical tool routinely used in industry, introduces computer operated instrumentation, and provides experience with data base searching and quantitative software. The collaborative nature of the project also provides students unique opportunities such as supervising and teaching colleagues in a closely related field and interacting with professional organizations.

9451053 Juhl该项目通过跨学科的环境监测项目向来自两个技术人员教育项目的学生介绍气相色谱/质谱（GC/MS）。在蛇河的Henrys Fork的合作研究中，化学实验室技术员和危险材料技术员的学生使用GC/MS，离子色谱法（IC），湿化学技术和现场测试设备分析水样中的各种有机和无机成分。该项目要求学生小组创建目标，确定和实施程序，遵循行业和环境保护局（EPA）的协议标准，并向某些州和保护机构报告分析。GC/MS用于确定由于河流排水中的重农业而导致的河流中特定农药和挥发性有机化合物的存在。GC/MS的可用性允许真实的环境监测遵循EPA指南，为学生提供工业中常用的关键分析工具，介绍计算机操作的仪器，并提供数据库搜索和定量软件的经验。该项目的协作性质也为学生提供了独特的机会，如监督和教学密切相关领域的同事，并与专业组织互动。
