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），改编自一个在西卡罗莱纳大学，增加学生的学习机会，通过增加电感耦合等离子体发射光谱（ICPOES）在化学，环境科学和环境工程。ICPOES的纳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的使用提高了学生在空气和水污染，湿地金属循环和沉积物研究中的发现为基础的实验参与。ICPOES促进了诸如测定河流中的铅和镉以及海产品中的砷和铬等项目。此外，ICPOES促进土壤和植物材料中砷形态的本科生研究，以及空气中金属的测定。项目成果通过教学期刊、网站以及区域和国家会议传播。

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.
