| Abstract |
|
A recently completed project funded in part by the National Science Foundation has produced a compilation of 40 laboratory experiments presented within the contexts of five major industries. The combined set of experiments comprises a laboratory curriculum for two-year programs for chemical technicians. While the project was initially aimed at two-year college programs, all of the experiments are suitable for inclusion in a university undergraduate curriculum; some of the experiments have also been used in high school chemistry courses. This article provides a summary of the included experiments, along with a discussion of ancillary materials distributed with the experiments and the nationwide effort that went into development of the CD Contextual Laboratory Curriculum for Chemistry and Technology.
|
| Supplement |
The PDF files that constitute the CD-ROM, C3T: Contextual Laboratory Curriculum for Chemistry and Technology, are available for download. This includes background information, reagent preparation instructions, experiment procedures, safety information, discussion of data treatment, tips for interpreting results, and checklists correlating the American Chemical Society Voluntary Industry Standards (VIS) to the learning outcomes expected of students completing the exercises.
