The major objective of this project is to provide students at Cottey College, a two-year college for women, access to the type of research experience typically available to students at four-year institutions. Second-semester organic chemistry laboratory will focus on a research project, with the entire class acting as the research group, and the laboratory instructor acting as the research director. Students will be asked to contribute to the overall direction of a group project. It is intended that during the course of the semester, students will develop a greater understanding of the mechanism of research in the natural sciences, and that each student will come to a greater realization of her own level of interest in scientific research. The laboratory program that will be implemented is designed to benefit chemistry students at Cottey College, as well as students at other junior colleges and small women's colleges. It is believed that this program could benefit any department that offers organic chemistry to a small (10 to 15) number of students, or a large department offering an independent section of organic chemistry laboratory for its chemistry majors. This program is not designed to address the needs of large, multi-section organic chemistry laboratories.

该项目的主要目标是为两年制女子学院科泰学院的学生提供通常四年制院校学生可以获得的研究经验。第二学期有机化学实验室将专注于一个研究项目，全班作为研究小组，实验室指导员担任研究主任。学生将被要求为小组项目的总体方向做出贡献。在这学期的课程中，学生将对自然科学的研究机制有更多的了解，每个学生都会对自己的科学研究兴趣有更大的认识。即将实施的实验室计划旨在使科蒂学院的化学学生以及其他大专和小型女子学院的学生受益。据信，这一计划可以使任何向少量(10至15名)学生提供有机化学课程的系，或为其化学专业提供独立有机化学实验室的大型系受益。该计划不是为满足大型、多部门有机化学实验室的需求而设计的。
