Curriculum Enhancement Through Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

该学院正在建立一系列科学密集课程，针对学术能力一般但对科学或工程感兴趣的学生。 这些课程的设计是为了帮助学生在完成两年的中学后教育和工业实习后作为熟练技术人员进入劳动力市场。 或者，学生可以继续完成他们的学士学位。 该补助金有助于化学技术课程的实施，同时丰富职业和转学生的化学实验室课程。 该学院正在购买一台原子吸收分光光度计，以完成化学技术课程的库存。 从学院毕业的化学技术人员掌握以下仪器的操作：FTIR分光光度计，气相色谱仪，原子吸收分光光度计，高效液相色谱仪，紫外/维斯分光光度计，电泳仪，伊势仪和一般实验室仪器，如天平，烘箱和培养箱。

The college is establishing a series of science intensive curricula aimed at students with average academic ability and an interest in science or engineering. The curricula are designed to facilitate students entering the workforce as skilled technicians after 2 years of postsecondary education and an industrial internship. Alternatively, students can continue on to complete their baccalaureate degree. This grant is aiding in the implementation of a Chemical Technology curriculum, while enriching chemistry laboratory courses for both vocational and transfer students. The college is acquiring an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer to complete the inventory for the Chemical Technology curriculum. Chemical technicians graduating from the college master the operation of the following instruments: FTIR spectrophotometer, gas chromatograph, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, high performance liquid chromatograph, uv/vis spectrophotometer, electrophoretic apparatus, ISE meters and, general laboratory apparatus like balances, ovens, and incubators.
