Young Scholars Institute

青年学者乐器学院是一个为期三周的暑期项目，以及为期一年的后续活动，旨在为来自华盛顿特区大都市地区的20名11年级学生提供高质量的科学充实和职业意识。该研究所的主要组成部分将侧重于化学和物理，将是仪器技术入门，利用这些技术的研究项目，以及职业规划活动。青年学者将在红外、核磁共振、紫外可见光谱温度计、折射仪和气相色谱仪方面获得实践经验。对Litton-Amecom、NIH和县政策实验室的实地考察将使学生有机会观察到现代仪器的日益复杂--从常规的实验室仪器到高度复杂的FTIR、质谱仪接口、高分辨率核磁共振和独一无二的微等离子体探测器。该研究所、实地考察和后续活动将使青年学者接触到科学事业的广度和丰富。乔治王子社区学院优秀的科学教员和实验室导致了针对不同人群的特殊科学项目的发展。这些计划得到了参与者、县科学监督员和马里兰州教育部的热情支持，满足了国家和地方公认的升级内容知识、激发人们对科学主题的兴趣和兴奋以及引入科学职业机会的需求。

The Young Scholars Instrumentation Institute is a three-week summer program together with year-long follow-up activities designed to provide high quality science enrichment and career awareness for 20 students entering 11th grade from the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The main institute components, focusing on chemistry and physics, will be introduction to instrumental techniques, a research project utilizing these techniques, and career planning activities. Young Scholars will gain hands-on experience with IR, NMR, UV-visible spectophotometers, refractometer and gas chromatographies. Field trips to Litton-Amecom, NIH and the county policy laboratory will give students an opportunity to observe the increasing sophistication of modern instrumentation--from routine laboratory instrumentation to the highly sophisticated FTIR, mass-gas chromatograph interface, high resolution NMR and a one-of-a-kind microplasma detector. The institute, field trips and follow-up activities will expose Young Scholars to the breadth and wealth of science careers. Prince George's Community College's excellent science faculty and laboratories have lead to the development of special science projects targeted to different populations. These programs, enthusiastically endured by participants, county science supervisors, and the Maryland State Department of Education, answer the nationally and locally recognized need for upgrading content knowledge, generating interest and excitement in science topics and introducing science career opportunities.
