A simple, affordable hydrogen proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell laboratory was developed through a collaborative effort between faculty and undergraduate students at Brown University. It has been incorporated into the introductory chemistry curriculum and successfully implemented in a class of over 500 students per academic year for over 3…

Recognizing that the vast majority of students will enter the chemical industry, an optional four-course sequence related to industrial chemistry was introduced. Program details are given along with information on how it was integrated into the curriculum of a small school with minimal staff size changes and limited facitlities. (JN)

FOUR PROGRAMS ARE IDENTIFIED AND DESCRIBED AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EXPERIMENTATION BEING CONDUCTED IN THE UNDERGRADUATE CHEMISTRY CURRICULUM IN AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION. (1) THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AND THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIRE THAT A STUDENT TAKE A GROUP OF "CORE" COURSES WHICH PROVIDE, RELATIVELY EARLY IN HIS…

The authors describe a career-enhancement program, at Texas Tech University, for students in chemistry or biology who want to enter the field of chemical engineering. (SA)

Described is the five-week Governor's School course emphasizing chemical reactions for high school seniors. Students took two courses: a subject concentration in humanities or science and a global issues course. The course format included both lecture and laboratory activities. (KR)

The growth and development, professional development, and recognition of this cooperative program are described. Highlighted is the program in the department of chemistry. Programs in other science departments are also discussed. (CW)

Describes development of Doctor of Environmental Science and Engineering degree program at the University of California at Los Angeles. Includes rationale for the program, means by which it functions, unique characteristics, curriculum and accomplishments to date, all with particular concern for needs derived from the Toxic Substances Control Act…

Discusses development of a multi-media learning center at Illinois Institute of Technology, focusing on strategy used to obtain National Science Foundation funding and the center's operation. The latter includes hardware, location and physical layout, courseware, public relations, staffing, student use, and future endeavors. Also provides an…

Discussed are the background, objectives, statement of need, target population, program activity, budget, staffing, funding, problems, and evaluation of the project. Suggestions for the initiation of analogous programs are provided. (CW)
