It is proposed that a carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen (CHNSO) elemental determinator be procured to augment the chemistry analytical instrument suite presently in use for research and instruction at Kettering University. Kettering University, formerly known as General Motors Institute is located in Flint, Michigan and is a non-PhD granting institution that specializes in cooperative education and experiential learning in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields. A CHNSO elemental determinator, if awarded, would be used by a multidisciplinary group of faculty in the Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering programs engaged in applied and fundamental research in a wide variety of areas including alternative energy, organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and materials research. The investigators in these programs employ and mentor undergraduate students to aid in their research efforts. For some students, this work is incorporated into their undergraduate thesis. In addition, many students become coauthors on peer reviewed publications and/or presentations at local, regional, and national meetings. In addition to supporting student/faculty research, a CHNSO would enhance the educational mission of the department by broadening the educational background of junior- and senior-level chemistry and chemical engineering students.

建议采购一台碳、氢、氮、硫和氧(CHNSO)元素测定仪，以补充凯特琳大学目前用于研究和教学的化学分析仪器套件。凯特琳大学前身为通用汽车学院，位于密歇根州弗林特，是一所非博士授予机构，专门从事科学、技术、工程和数学领域的合作教育和体验式学习。如果获奖，CHNSO元素测定仪将被生物化学、化学和化学工程专业的多学科教员小组使用，这些教员从事广泛领域的应用和基础研究，包括替代能源、有机合成、制药和材料研究。这些项目的研究人员雇用并指导本科生，以帮助他们的研究工作。对于一些学生来说，这项工作被纳入了他们的本科论文中。此外，许多学生成为同行评议出版物和/或在地方、地区和国家会议上的演讲的合著者。除了支持学生/教师的研究外，CHNSO还将通过扩大初级和高级化学和化学工程学生的教育背景来加强系的教育使命。
