Chemistry (12)This project makes use of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and an accelerated solvent extraction system to improve the delivery of course content and integrate environmental chemistry and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) into the curriculum. Experiments from standard literature and GLPs which reflect industry-based standards are being adapted for use in the curriculum. Connections between chemistry principles and real-life problem-solving skills are presented early in the training process. Experiments are designed to introduce students to essential components of real-world analysis including regulatory requirements, quality assurance, and information management. Three major areas are targeted, including sophomore level quantitative analysis, upper-level instrumental analysis, and undergraduate research experience. Typical laboratory exercise involves sample collection and handling, in line with EPA's GLP principles. The immediate impact includes (i) improved classroom learning resulting from experiences which show the relevance of science to real life, (ii) exposure of students to GLP elements such as quality assurance and statistical analysis, (iii) increased availability and use of high quality analytical instrumentation. Evaluation plans include use of an external evaluator, survey instruments to assess both the cognitive and affective aspects of student learning, exam performance, informal discussions with students, as well as feedback from instructors. Dissemination plans involve the development of laboratory manuals and publication of key results of the GLP-based environmental analysis in technical journals.

化学（12）本项目利用原子吸收分光光度计和加速溶剂萃取系统，以改善课程内容的交付，并将环境化学和良好实验室规范（GLP）纳入课程。 从标准文献和GLP，反映了行业标准的实验正在适应在课程中使用。 化学原理和现实生活中解决问题的技能之间的联系在培训过程中早期提出。 实验旨在向学生介绍真实世界分析的基本组成部分，包括监管要求，质量保证和信息管理。 三个主要领域是有针对性的，包括大二水平的定量分析，上层仪器分析，本科研究经验。 典型的实验室工作包括样品收集和处理，符合EPA的GLP原则。 直接影响包括：（i）通过展示科学与真实的生活的相关性的经验，改善课堂学习;（ii）学生接触GLP元素，如质量保证和统计分析;（iii）增加高质量分析仪器的可用性和使用。 评估计划包括使用外部评估员、调查工具来评估学生学习的认知和情感方面、考试成绩、与学生的非正式讨论以及教师的反馈。 传播计划包括编写实验室手册和在技术期刊上发表基于GLP的环境分析的关键结果。
