Oakwood College The objective of the Oakwood College (OC) Active Chemical Education. Through Research (ACER) Program is to attract undergraduate students to chemistry, chemical engineering, and biosciences; nurture and enhance educational achievements of undergraduate students; provide a firm foundation of research experience; and encourage outstanding undergraduates to pursue related graduate degrees. ACER's three main elements are: (1) Student Recruiting/Research Assistant Program, (2) Enhancing Infrastructure and Updating Teaching Methods, and (3) a Visiting Scientist Teaching Program. The program's objective is to ensure that 75% of ACER graduates win admission to good Ph.D. program in biological and chemical sciences.ACER will recruit and support at least 60 students over the five years, beginning recruitment in the freshman year. Students will be individually mentored, provided research experience (including support for summer research), and opportunities to publish and attend national conferences. Top international research scientists will provide one-month courses in mathematics for life scientists, thermodynamics, biophysics, bioelectrochemistry, chemical engineering, nanochemistry and nanotechnology, biosensors, environmental chemistry, and surface chemistry. This will also introduce outside institutions and scientists to OC's capabilities and faculty, building a network of future collaboration and partnering opportunities.High quality of education requires a strong scientific research program. Through ACER, students will have access to research capabilities, equipment and techniques that are being used in the best universities.

奥克伍德学院（OC）积极化学教育的目标。通过研究（ACER）计划是吸引本科学生学习化学、化学工程和生物科学；培养和提高本科学生的学业成绩；提供坚实的研究经验基础；鼓励优秀本科生攻读相关研究生学位。ACER的三个主要元素是：(1)学生招募/研究助理计划，(2)加强基础设施和更新教学方法，以及(3)访问科学家教学计划。该计划的目标是确保75%的ACER毕业生获得生物和化学科学博士学位。ACER将在五年内招收和支持至少60名学生，从大一开始招聘。学生将被单独指导，提供研究经验（包括支持暑期研究），并有机会发表和参加国家会议。国际顶尖研究科学家将为生命科学家提供为期一个月的数学、热力学、生物物理学、生物电化学、化学工程、纳米化学和纳米技术、生物传感器、环境化学、表面化学等课程。这也将向外部机构和科学家介绍OC的能力和师资，建立一个未来合作和合作机会的网络。高质量的教育需要强大的科研计划。通过ACER，学生将有机会获得在最好的大学中使用的研究能力、设备和技术。
