Enhancement of Environmental Resource Management Laboratory

该项目提供设备以增强Muskingum地区技术学院环境科学实验室的动手实验和数据处理能力。该设备由6台哈希分光光度计和6台个人计算机组成；目前正在同一设施内设立六个湿化学实验室，以完成改进工作。额外的设备将允许更多的实验和数据收集和分析，由学生在常规课程的七个不同的课程中完成，以及每年提供的至少两个特殊问题课程。Muskingum Tech的环境科学课程满足了三个县服务区域及其他地区的培训需求，并提供环境资源管理（ERM）和公园，娱乐和野生动物（PRW）的副学士学位。在泄漏管理、资源管理、水和空气污染控制、有害物质管理、地下水水文学和其他各种领域提供实践培训。教师们设计了一个实验室，以最大限度地利用空间和实验室时间，以增强学生的动手学习经验。其结果是，毕业生将为立即就业或高层工作做好更充分的准备。

This project provides equipment to enhance the hands-on experimentation and data processing capabilities of the environmental sciences laboratory at Muskingum Area Technical College. The equipment consists of six Hach spectrophotometers interfaced with six personal computers; six wet chemistry labs are being established in the same facility to complete the enhancement. The additional equipment will allow for more experiments and data collection and analysis to be completed by students in seven different courses in the regular curriculum, and at least two of the special problems courses that are offered each year. Muskingum Tech's environmental sciences program meets the training needs in a three county service district and beyond, and offers associates degrees in Environmental Resources Management (ERM) and Parks, Recreation, and Wildlife (PRW). Hands-on training is offered in spills management, resource management, water and air pollution control, hazardous materials management, groundwater hydrology, and a variety of other areas. Faculty members have designed a laboratory to maximize the potential use of space and of laboratory time to enhance the hands-on learning experience of students. The result will be graduates who are better-prepared for immediate employment or upper-division work.
