Targeted Infusion Grant: Strengthening the STEM Education for the American Chemical Society (ACS) Accreditation at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania through Instrument-Integrated

摘要0811628宾夕法尼亚州的切尼大学正在实施探究发现为基础的教学在整个化学和生物课程。最重要的是，研究设备的整合？一台原子吸收光谱仪（AAS）、一台高效液相色谱仪（HPLC）、一台气相色谱-质谱仪（GC-MS）和一台微波辅助合成设备（Discover Lab Mate）--完善了我们的设备清单，以满足美国化学学会（ACS）对经批准和认可的化学项目的要求。在化学和生物学一个强大的调查发现为基础的课程，再加上ACS批准的化学计划，提供了一个很好的招聘工具，为科学和联合卫生部门，同时帮助培训现有的学生在使用现代仪器所需的竞争优势，在劳动力和研究生院。此外，教师的研究能力得到增强，导致教师与其合作伙伴，地方和区域行业，以及位于整个宾夕法尼亚州的其他学术部门做出更有价值的贡献。

Abstract 0811628Cheyney University of Pennsylvania is implementing Inquiry-Discovery based instruction throughout the chemistry and biology curricula. Most importantly, the incorporation of research equipment ?- an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS), a High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC), a Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) and a microwave-assisted synthesis device (the Discover Lab Mate) -- completes our inventory of equipment needed to fulfill the requirements by the American Chemical Society (ACS) for an approved and accredited chemistry program. A strong Inquiry-Discovery based curricula in chemistry and biology, coupled with an ACS approved chemistry program, provides a good recruitment tool for the Science and Allied Health department, while helping to train current students in the use of modern instrumentation needed for a competitive edge in the workforce and in graduate school. Further, faculty research capabilities are enhanced, leading to more valuable contributions by the faculty with its collaborative partners, both local and regional industries, as well as other academic departments located throughout Pennsylvania.
