Pre-College Analytical Chemistry (PAC)

该项目由分析和表面化学项目支持，旨在通过为高二和初中学生提供参加大学水平的分析化学密集讲座和实验课程的机会，来创造、激发和维持他们对科学的兴趣。巴吞鲁日南方大学化学系的米尔德里德·斯莫利教授和罗伯特·米勒教授将在两名高中化学老师的协助下，为大约16名高中生讲授一门课程。本课程将用环境化学中的问题来说明分析化学的原理，并向这些学生传达化学职业所伴随的兴奋感。这个项目旨在吸引代表性不足的少数民族学生从事成功的科学事业。在竞争的基础上，将为来自巴吞鲁日地区的大约16名高中二年级和三年级的学生提供一门紧张的大学水平的环境分析化学课程。本课程将由两位高中化学教师担任助教。特别注意吸引代表性不足的少数民族学生从事科学研究，并提高他们未来在科学事业中取得成功的可能性。

This project, supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, seeks to create, stimulate, and sustain interest in science among sophomore and junior level high school students by providing them the opportunity to take an intense, college-level lecture and laboratory course in analytical chemistry. Professors Mildred Smalley and Robert Miller of the Department of Chemistry at Southern University in Baton Rouge will lead a course for approximately sixteen high school students with assistance from two high school chemistry teachers. The course will use problems in environmental chemistry to illustrate principles of analytical chemistry and to convey to these students a sense of the excitement that is attendant to careers in chemistry. This project is aimed at attracting underrepresented minority student into successful careers in science. An intense college-level course in environmental analytical chemistry will be made available on a competitive basis for some sixteen high school sophomores and juniors from the Baton Rouge area. Two high school chemistry teachers will serve as teaching assistants in this course. Particular attention is given to attracting underrepresented minority students to science pursuits and to enhancing the likelihood of their future success in scientific careers.
