1337808MortonThe central aim of this proposal is the acquisition of analytical equipment that will allow for the rapid establishment of a Sustainable Engineering Research Laboratory located in the Department of Engineering at James Madison University (JMU). The specific instrument requested, an advanced high performance liquid chromatography system, has been selected based on the potential for greatest and most immediate impact on existing as well as pending research. JMU is a primarily undergraduate institution with an institutional goal of fostering outstanding undergraduate research. This proposal will significantly advance this set of goals while providing the initial investment in the longer goal of developing a research laboratory to develop undergraduate researchers focused on solving the pair challenges of energy availability and water quality, which is at the root of the challenge to the global societal sustainability. While initially, faculty and undergraduate students based out of the Department of Engineering will most benefit and utilize the instrument requested in this proposal, faculty and students from other disciplines, such as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Integrated Science and Technology, and Geology and Environmental Science, will also utilize this instrument.

1337808Morton这项提案的主要目的是购置分析设备，以便能够迅速建立设在詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学(JMU)工程系的可持续工程研究实验室。所要求的具体仪器是一种先进的高效液相色谱系统，它是根据对现有和即将进行的研究可能产生的最大和最直接的影响而选择的。JMU主要是一所本科院校，其机构目标是培养优秀的本科生研究。这一建议将大大推进这一系列目标，同时为发展一个研究实验室的长期目标提供初步投资，以培养专注于解决能源供应和水质这两个挑战的本科生研究人员，这是全球社会可持续性面临的挑战的根源。虽然最初，工程系的教师和本科生将最大限度地受益和使用本提案中要求的仪器，但来自其他学科的教师和学生，如化学、生物化学、综合科学与技术、地质和环境科学，也将使用该仪器。
