The Chemical Professional Laboratory Program (CPLP) is being initiated at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) as a new mode for writing and teaching general chemistry laboratories. The program teaches chemistry with environments that simulate the experience and workplace of chemical professionals. Assistance is being provided by faculty from professional programs, including engineering, nursing, pharmacy, and laboratory sciences. The program includes four Chicago-area community colleges that are also major sources of UIC professional students. These are the College of DuPage, William Rainey Harper College, Oakton College, and Harold Washington College of the City Colleges of Chicago. Faculty from those schools are consulting with those at UIC on the development of the program, and they are acting as dissemination sites. The laboratories feature one week where general chemistry concepts and techniques are studied in a "normal" manner. In the second and, occasionally, third weeks the students apply these techniques to a procedure that simulates or replicates the environment where a non-chemist might need to use chemistry. Examples include control of blood acidity after a heart attack; development and testing of a new catalyst; and analysis of elemental composition of soil. The program includes an assessment run by a faculty member from the UIC College of Education. The assessment uses qualitative methods, to make it more useful in revising the CPLP lab manual and in learning the response of students to non-traditional procedures in the laboratory.

化学专业实验室计划（CPLP）是在芝加哥伊利诺斯大学（UIC）发起的一种新的模式，为编写和教学的一般化学实验室。 该计划教授化学与模拟化学专业人员的经验和工作场所的环境。 援助是由专业课程，包括工程，护理，药学和实验室科学教师提供。 该计划包括四个芝加哥地区的社区学院，也是UIC专业学生的主要来源。这些学院是杜佩奇学院、威廉雷尼哈珀学院、奥克顿学院和芝加哥城市学院的哈罗德华盛顿学院。 这些学校的教师正在与UIC的教师就该计划的发展进行磋商，他们正在充当传播网站。 实验室以一周为特色，以“正常”的方式学习一般化学概念和技术。在第二周，偶尔，第三周，学生将这些技术应用于模拟或复制非化学家可能需要使用化学的环境的程序。 例子包括心脏病发作后血液酸度的控制;新催化剂的开发和测试;以及土壤元素成分的分析。 该计划包括由UIC教育学院的一名教师进行的评估。评估使用定性方法，使其更有用的修订CPLP实验室手册和学习学生的反应，在实验室的非传统程序。
