Enhanced Multimedia Laboratory in Earth System Science

小行星9451723 地球系统科学（ESS）的综合学术，研究和推广计划将继续通过增强ESS实验室得到加强。 地球系统科学是对地球作为一个系统及其组成部分的跨学科研究，其中包括大气，海洋区域，生物和水力循环以及地理特征，它们的相互作用和演变。 在地球系统科学研究计划的总体动机是暴露大学的教师和学生的大部分学科的多学科性质，同时增加少数民族学生追求在这个和相关领域的职业生涯的数量。 正在进一步开发和装备一个实验室，用于配合最近开发的题为“地球系统科学导论”的课程。 本课程的目标是（1）第一和第二年的学生有兴趣追求ESS的职业生涯或有兴趣了解更多关于他们生活的环境，（2）小学和中学教育专业，最终将在我们国家的教室教，和（3）学生需要实验室科学课程，以满足他们的学士学位的要求。 所要求的设备，铸造，教育发展工作站，允许在我们发展中的地球系统科学计划的互动，基于多媒体的教学模块的列入。

9451723 Stephenson-Hawk The comprehensive academic, research, and outreach program in Earth System Science (ESS) is continuing to be strengthened through the enhancement of the ESS laboratory. Earth System Science is the interdisciplinary study of the earth, as a system, and its component parts, which include the atmosphere, maritime regions, biological and hydraulic cycles, and geographic features, their interaction and evolution. The overall motivation for a program of study in Earth System Science is to expose a large segment of the University's faculty and students to the multidisciplinary nature of the subject while simultaneously increasing the numbers of minority students pursuing careers in this and related areas. A laboratory that is used to accompany a recently developed course entitled "Introduction to Earth System Sciences" is being further developed and equipped. This course targets (1) first and second year students that are interested in pursuing ESS careers or are interested in learning more about the environment in which they live, (2) elementary and secondary education majors that will eventually teach in our nation's classrooms, and (3) students that need a laboratory science course to fulfill their requirements for a bachelor's degree. The requested equipment, coined, educational development workstations, allows the inclusion of interactive, multimedia based teaching modules in our developing Earth System Science program.
