SCI281 Research Experience Laboratory

This laboratory course will provide students with research experience in the areas of chemical analysis, environmental analysis, and biotechnology. The course begins by introducing the student to the process of experimental design and the role of the technician in research and analysis laboratories. Students will use GLP, or good laboratory practices, to design a series of experiments, write the appropriate standard operating procedures, and execute the appropriate experiments to prove appropriate application of theoretical knowledge to resolve contemporary issues in laboratory sciences. Students are required to simultaneously enroll in a Research Seminar specific to the chosen Laboratory Science discipline where discipline specific instrumental design and protocol will be reviewed.
