Implementation of Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry in Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, and Environmental Sciences Curricula

这个化学项目(学科代码12)改编自西卡罗来纳大学的一个项目，通过在化学、环境科学和环境工程中增加电感耦合等离子体光学发射光谱(ICPOES)来增加学生的学习机会。ICPOES的加入为学生提供了足够的分析能力，以促进环境调查，装备他们所需的技术理解，并建立关键的科学技能。ICPOES的使用加强了学生对空气和水污染、湿地金属循环和沉积物研究的基于发现的实验的参与。ICPOES为一些项目提供便利，例如测定河流中的铅和镉，以及海鲜中的砷和铬。此外，ICPOES促进本科生研究土壤和植物材料中砷的形态，以及空气中金属的测定。项目成果通过教学期刊传播，通过网站在线传播，并在区域和国家会议上传播。

This chemistry project (Discipline Code 12), adapted from one at Western Carolina University, increases student-learning opportunities through the addition of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) in chemistry, environmental science, and environmental engineering. Incorporation of ICPOES provides students with sufficient analytical capabilities to facilitate environmental inquiry, equips them with needed technological understanding, and builds critical scientific skills. Use of ICPOES enhances student participation in discovery-based experiments in air and water contamination, metal cycling in wetlands, and sediment studies. ICPOES facilitates projects such as the determination of Pb and Cd in rivers, and As and Cr in seafood. In addition, ICPOES promotes undergraduate research in arsenic speciation in soil and plant material, and the determination of air-borne metals. Project results are disseminated through pedagogical journals, online via a website, and at regional and national meetings.
