Targeted Infusion Project: Enrichment of the B.S. Chemistry Program through the Implementation of Forensic Science Concentration at North Carolina Central University

北卡罗来纳州中央大学的靶向输注项目，标题为-丰富B.S.通过在北卡罗来纳州中央大学实施法医科学集中的化学课程-目标是改造课程，增加学士学位的入学率。化学计划通过实施法医科学浓度。国家的最先进的法医方法越来越多的公众知名度反映了越来越多的询问有关未来和即将到来的学生在NCCU法医科学浓度。为了满足这些外部需求，化学系于2009年在化学学位课程中建立了法医科学浓度。完成该项目目标的活动是：开发和实施一个顶峰法医科学课程，其中包括综合性的基于化学的讲座和实验室;通过将现代法医分析，物理和生物分析技术注入各种课程，改变当前的化学课程;扩大本科生的研究和实习机会;并围绕法医科学集中实施高中学生的外展活动，以增加学士学位的入学率。化学课程。 该项目的预期成果是，从该计划毕业的学生，他们大多来自法医化学代表性不足的群体，将接受法医学培训，并将能够过渡到研究生和专业学校或劳动力。

North Carolina Central University's Targeted Infusion Project entitled - Enrichment of the B.S. Chemistry Program through the Implementation of Forensic Science Concentration at North Carolina Central University - has the goal to transform the curriculum and to increase enrollment in the B.S. Chemistry program by implementing a forensic science concentration. The increasing public visibility of state-of-the-art forensic methods is reflected by the growing number of inquiries regarding the forensic science concentration from prospective and incoming students at NCCU. In response to these external demands, the Department of Chemistry established the forensic science concentration within the Chemistry degree program in 2009.The activities to accomplish the project's goal are: to develop and implement a capstone forensic science course which encompasses integrated scenario-based lecture and laboratories; transform the current Chemistry curriculum by infusing modern forensic analytical, physical, and bioanalytical techniques into various courses; expand research and internship opportunities for undergraduate students; and implement outreach activities for high school students centered around the forensic science concentration to increase the enrollment in the B.S. Chemistry program. The outcome expected from this project is that the students graduating from this program, who are mostly from groups underrepresented forensic chemistry, will be trained in forensic science and will be able to transition into either graduate and professional schools or the workforce.
