Problem Project Attempts to Solve: We currently have a hodge-podge of balances that of various degrees of accuracy ( two are not sufficient for use in CPB 202 and CPB 471-472). In the last three years enrollment in CPB 201 and CPB 202 has gone up. This semester we have 47 students in three sections of CPB 202. Every week in lab they need to use the balances and it has been a bottle-neck in the course. It would be ideal to have three balances that were all the same for the students to use. We woukd move the old balances to the wet/lab and unit ops lab, which is where we often have t hunt them down when they go missing from the paper testing lab.

Does this project focus on Graduate Studies?: No

Does it meet tech fee criteria?: There are over 47 students who can receive hand-on work with research techniques.

How will you assess the project?: Success will be measured by the resultant number of students who can take the course.

Have you received tech fee funding in the past?: No

What happens to this project in year two?: No further funding is needed.
