Curriculum Development of Laboratory Courses through Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

社区学院提供前两年的科学和工程课程，主要依靠传统的分析和理论方法。大多数现代实验室依靠精密的仪器分析。因此，随着原子吸收分光光度计的获得，学生们将有更好的装备进入高级机构的大三，掌握他们职业生涯所需的熟练技能。这个项目为低水平的学生提供了实际“动手”仪器分析和溶液准备的机会。此外，他们正在获得评估实验室生成数据质量的经验，这将有助于培养在任何生活情况下所需的解决问题的技能。受资助者正在匹配非联邦来源的奖励。

The community college offers the first two years of science and engineering curriculum heavily relying on traditional methods of analysis and theory. Most modern laboratories rely on sophisticated instrumental analysis. Therefore with the acquistion of an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer the students are being better equipped to enter their junior year in a senior institution with skills that are demanded for proficiency in their career. This project is providing lower level students access to the actual "hands on" instrumental analysis and solution preparation. In addition they are gaining experience in the assessment of the quality of laboratory generated data which will assist with developing problem solving skills required in any life situation. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.
