Pre-College Analytical Chemistry (PAC)

这个项目得到了分析和表面化学项目的支持，旨在通过为二年级和初中生提供机会，让他们有机会参加大学水平的分析化学密集讲座和实验室课程，从而创造、激发和保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帮助下，为大约16名高中生开设一门课程。本课程将使用环境化学中的问题来说明分析化学的原理，并向这些学生传达一种伴随着化学职业生涯而来的兴奋感。该项目旨在吸引未被充分代表的少数族裔学生在科学领域取得成功。来自巴吞鲁日地区的大约16名高二和大三学生将在竞争的基础上开设一门密集的大学环境分析化学课程。两名高中化学老师将担任本课程的助教。特别注意吸引少数族裔学生从事科学工作，并提高他们今后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.
