Curriculum Enhancement Through Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

该学院正在建立一系列科学密集型课程，目标是学术能力一般、对科学或工程感兴趣的学生。这些课程旨在帮助经过两年大专教育和工业实习后进入劳动力大军的学生成为熟练技师。或者，学生可以继续完成他们的学士学位。这笔赠款帮助实施化学技术课程，同时丰富了面向职业学生和转学学生的化学实验室课程。该学院正在购买一台原子吸收光谱仪，以完成化学技术课程的清单。从学院毕业的化学技术人员掌握以下仪器的操作：FTIR光谱仪、气相色谱仪、原子吸收光谱仪、高效液相色谱仪、UV/VIS光谱仪、电泳仪、离子选择电离仪，以及天平、烤箱和孵化器等通用实验室仪器。

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.
