Equipment for a Problem-Solving Based Laboratory in Cell-Molecular Physiology

近年来，生物系经历了相当大的现代化，包括购置了用于细胞分子生理学课程的新设备。通过该项目，正在建立一门课程，使本科生能够使用现代仪器研究生理学的基本细胞和分子过程。作为课程的一部分，学生将进行各种重要的实验，以帮助他们了解如何使用现代设备解决生理学问题。通过指导掌握仪器后，学生根据文献调查设计自己的研究项目。本课程的期末考试是一个口头报告，由一组同学进行评估。除了技术知识外，参加本课程的学生还将培养实验设计和假设检验的技能。新设备将与生理学、发育、细胞和分子生物学课程共享。对于寻求暑期研究机会的学生，正在为他们的经验之前的培训提供设备。它为大约340名学生丰富了生物医学教育课程。＊

In recent years, the Biology Department has undergone considerable modernization, including the acquisition of new equipment for courses in cellular-molecular physiology. Through this project, a course is being established to enable undergraduates to study basic cellular and molecular processes in physiology using modern instrumentation. As part of the class, students are performing a variety of critical experiments to help them understand how to approach problems in physiology using modern equipment. After mastering the instrumentation through supervision, students are designing their own research projects based on a survey of the literature. The final examination in the course is an oral presentation given to and evaluated by a group of peers. In addition to technical knowledge, students who enroll in this class are developing skills in experimental design and hypothesis testing. The new equipment is being shared with physiology, development, and cell and molecular biology courses. For students pursuing summer research opportunities, the equipment is being made available for their training prior to the experience. It is enriching the curriculum in biomedical education for about 340 students. *
