Transforming Traditional Quantitative Analysis into a Coursein Modern Analytical Science

将传统的定量分析转化为现代分析科学的课程。该课程开发项目将传统的二年级定量分析课程转变为一门现代分析科学课程。在NSF支持的工作基础上，我们正在开发一门模拟现代商业分析实验室工作环境的课程。新的实验室工作反映了对有机、生物和环境研究的承诺，取代了对简单无机系统的大部分传统强调。研究类型包括：分离科学(混合物分析)；多元素和痕量分析；以及物理和化学相结合的表征。所有这一切都是基于联邦良好实验室实践指南的实验室结构，其中学生负责校准、认证和文档编制。这个项目第二阶段的目标是(1)对重组后的二年级量化课程的可移植性进行现实的实验；(2)编制一份足够灵活的实验室手册，即使在资源有限的机构也是有用的。我们已经争取到一小部分感兴趣的学术机构的合作，以在各自的校园测试可移植性。这些学校还将就实验室修改提供反馈，以帮助适应广泛多样的学术资源。我们将于1995年在上海交通大学为所有参与的教员举办暑期工作坊，开始第二阶段的工作。这一活动将在1997年重复进行，最终产品是可行的《实验室手册》。

Transforming Traditional Quantitative Analysis into a Course in Modern Analytical Science. This curriculum development project transforms traditional sophomore quantitative analysis into a course on modern analytical science. Building on work supported by the NSF, we are developing a course that emulates the working environment of a modern commercial analytical laboratory. The new lab work reflects a commitment to addressing organic, biological, and environmental studies, in place of much of the traditional emphasis on simple inorganic systems. The types of investigations include: separations science (mixture analysis); multi-element and trace analysis; and combined physical & chemical characterization. Pervading all of this is a laboratory structure based on Federal Good Laboratory Practice guidelines, where students are responsible for calibration, certification, and documentation. The objectives of Phase 2 of this project, proposed here, are (1) to conduct a realistic experiment in transportability of the re-structured sophomore quant course; and (2) to produce a Laboratory Manual which is flexible enough to be useful even at institutions with limited resources. We have enlisted the cooperation of a small but diverse group of interested academic institutions to test transportability at their respective campuses. These schools will also provide feedback regarding laboratory revisions to help accommodate the wide diversity of academic resources. We will initiate Phase 2 with a summer workshop in 1995 at SJSU for all participating faculty. This event will be repeated through 1997, with a viable Laboratory Manual as the ultimate product.
