Curricular materials for undergraduate education in chemical measurement and instrumentation science are being developed and implemented by faculty members at 20 public and private doctoral-granting, predominantly undergraduate, and minority-serving institutions. This includes three historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and one hispanic-serving institution (HIS). The materials are inquiry- and problem-based modules on measurement techniques and methods. Integrative contextual modules that use measurement techniques and methods in the context of a larger scientific question or problem are being developed as well. Modules are designed to be used in a variety of formats (e.g., classroom activity, homework assignment, laboratory project) and modified to suit the particular needs of an instructor or institution. Many of the materials are designed to be undertaken by students working interactively in small groups. Faculty teaching expertise and student-learning outcomes are being expanded and improved at the institutions involved in this project. Over 900 students a year benefit by developing their ability to solve problems, work independently, and think critically. A workshop is being offered for faculty members at HBCUs and HSIs to develop faculty expertise in the use of the inquiry-based electronic resources and promote the utilization of the materials outside the project development team. The materials developed in this project are being disseminated through the NSF-funded Analytical Sciences Digital Library (ASDL), http://www.asdlib.org/, an open-access, peer-reviewed and annotated collection of electronic resources on chemical measurements and instrumentation for students, instructors, and practitioners of the analytical sciences.

化学测量和仪器科学本科教育的课程材料正在由20个公立和私立博士授予机构的教师开发和实施，主要是本科和少数民族服务机构。 这包括三所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和一所西班牙裔服务机构（HIS）。 这些材料是关于测量技术和方法的基于询问和问题的模块。 在更大的科学问题或难题的背景下使用测量技术和方法的综合背景模块也正在开发中。 模块被设计成以各种格式使用（例如，课堂活动、家庭作业、实验项目），并进行修改以适应教师或机构的特殊需要。许多材料的设计是由学生在小组互动工作。 参与该项目的各机构正在扩大和改善教师的教学专长和学生的学习成果。 每年有超过900名学生受益于发展他们解决问题，独立工作和批判性思考的能力。 正在为HBCU和HSI的教职员工举办一个讲习班，以发展教职员工在使用基于调查的电子资源方面的专业知识，并促进项目开发团队以外的材料的利用。 该项目中开发的材料正在通过国家科学基金会资助的分析科学数字图书馆（ASDL）（http：//www.asdlib.org/）传播，该图书馆是一个开放式的、同行评审的和注释的化学测量和仪器电子资源集合，供学生、教师和分析科学从业人员使用。
