Acquisition of a High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer to Enhance the Interdisciplinary Research and Education at Claflin University
Abstract
The instrument will be used to achieve the following objectives: 1) enhance the research and training infrastructure for faculty and students: 2) broaden the participation of women and minorities in STEM disciplines: 3) enable the development of new interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary courses: 4) improve the quality of graduating STEM students by enabling students to train on advanced instruments used in industry, thus preparing them for success in the workforce. Acquisition of the mass spectrometer will enable faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students the opportunity to engage in high-quality materials science-related research and education, attract students to STEM programs at Claflin University, and enable the university to provide a rigorous curriculum. The Mass Spectrometer will be integrated into the lectures and general laboratory curriculum of relevant courses, particularly Analytical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, and Biochemistry, where mass spectrometry is currently taught from a fundamental and limited perspective. Acquisition of the instrument will enable faculty to delve deeper into advanced concepts and applications of the instrument.
