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

北卡罗莱纳中央大学的目标注入项目题为“通过在北卡罗莱纳中央大学实施法医学集中来丰富学士学位化学课程”，其目标是通过实施法医学集中来改变课程并增加学士学位化学课程的入学率。越来越多的准学生和即将入学的学生询问司法科学专业，这反映了最先进的法医方法日益受到公众的关注。为了应对这些外部需求，化学系于2009年在化学学位课程中设立了法医学专业。完成项目目标的活动是：开发和实施一门顶级法医学课程，包括基于场景的综合讲座和实验室；将现代法医分析、物理和生物分析技术融入到化学课程中，对现有的化学课程进行改革；扩大本科生的研究和实习机会；并为高中生开展以法医学为中心的拓展活动，以增加化学理学士课程的入学率。这个项目的预期结果是，从这个项目毕业的学生，他们大多来自代表性不足的法医化学群体，将接受法医科学方面的培训，并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.
