Interdisciplinary (99) This project is introducing and integrating an interdisciplinary materials science emphasis into the undergraduate chemistry and physics programs. The objective of this new materials science and applied technology emphasis is to increase the number of undergraduate students choosing to study chemistry and physics, to foster collaboration, and to prepare students for increasingly interdisciplinary industry or research careers. The project includes development of a laboratory-based, team-taught interdisciplinary materials science course, and introduction of innovative discovery-based projects into the freshman laboratories. The project is adapting an inter-departmental approach utilized at Gustavus Adolphus College as well as specific laboratory projects developed in the materials physics course at Miami University. An upper-level course is using investigative, hands-on projects that model modern research collaborations in physics and chemistry. It is adapting an innovative, expert/novice, peer-learning scheme from Miami University in which students from two disciplines learn from each other. The hands-on projects in the course include the study of metals, semiconductors, superconductors, polymers, and other materials science topics presented from the perspectives of both disciplines. The equipment requested for this project is improving the freshman as well as the upper level chemistry and physics laboratory courses, providing a foundation for a materials science/applied technology emphasis in both departments. The equipment complements the expertise of the current faculty, and thereby helps to ensure the on-going growth of collaboration between the two departments beyond this specific project.

跨学科（99）该项目将跨学科材料科学重点放在本科化学和物理计划中。这种新材料科学和应用技术重点的目的是增加选择研究化学和物理学，促进合作以及为学生提供跨学科行业或研究职业的学生的数量。该项目包括开发基于实验室的，团队教授的跨学科材料科学课程，以及将创新的基于发现的项目引入新生实验室。该项目正在调整古斯塔夫·阿多夫斯学院（Gustavus Adolphus College）使用的跨部门跨部门方法，以及在迈阿密大学材料物理课程中开发的特定实验室项目。高层课程正在使用调查性的动手项目，对物理和化学方面的现代研究合作进行了建模。它正在适应迈阿密大学的创新，专家/新手，同行学习计划，其中来自两个学科的学生互相学习。课程中的实践项目包括从这两个学科的角度研究金属，半导体，超导体，聚合物和其他材料科学主题。要求该项目的设备正在改善新生以及上层化学和物理实验室课程，为两个部门的材料科学/应用技术重点提供了基础。设备补充了当前教师的专业知识，从而有助于确保两个部门之间的合作持续增长。
