Through this project, three portable seismometers and seismographs are purchased to enhance the teaching program in geology and geophysics. The equipment is used in three different undergraduate geophysics course: Field Geophysics, where emphasis is on planning and executing a seismic experiment; Applied Geophysics, where emphasis is on geotechnical applications of earthquake seismology; and Geophysics and Tectonics, where the major application is seismotectonics. This project involves 50-100 students per year from a wide variety of disciplines (geology, geophysics, environmental studies, engineering, physics, archeology). In addition, the equipment is used in classroom demonstrations and discussions in the beginning introductory classes in geoscience, which currently enroll 3000 students per year.

通过该项目，购买了三台便携式地震仪和地震仪，以加强地质和地球物理教学计划。 该设备用于三个不同的本科生地球物理学课程：现场地球物理学，重点是规划和执行地震实验;应用地球物理学，重点是地震地震学的岩土工程应用;地球物理学和构造学，主要应用是地震构造学。 该项目每年涉及50-100名来自各种学科（地质学、地球物理学、环境研究、工程学、物理学、考古学）的学生。 此外，该设备还用于地球科学入门课程的课堂演示和讨论，目前每年招收3000名学生。
