Combining Learning with the Pursuit of New Knowledge: Undergraduate Laboratory in Comparative Animal Physiology

该项目涉及比较动物生理学的学生实验室，将学习融入现代实验过程。这可能与其他机构的教学实验室形成鲜明对比，这些实验室严重依赖观察练习来教授学生生理概念。选择当前感兴趣的比较生理学研究的主题进行强调，实验室为学生提供使用现代设备和技术的实践经验。三个序列解决了主要的生理原理。这些包括信息和实验室，以及计算机接口微电极，电泳分析，和计算机辅助数据分析。此外，鼓励参与该项目的学生提交论文，并提交研究文章，供在科学期刊上发表。

This project involves student laboratory in comparative animal physiology that incorporates learning into a modern experimental process. This may contrast with instructional laboratories at other institutions that rely heavily upon observational exercises to teach students about physiological concepts. Selected topics of current interest in comparative physiology research are emphasized, and the laboratories provide students with hands-on experience in the use of modern equipment and techniques. Three sequences address major physiological principles. These include informative and experimental laboratories, as well as computer-interfacing microelectrodes, electrophoresis based analyses, and computer-assisted data analysis. Also, students involved in the project are encouraged to present papers and submit research articles for publication in scientific journals.
