不像大型研究型大学, 利记sbo is first and foremost an institution dedicated to teaching. The education and mentoring of students is the principal function of all Lawrence Tech faculty. The faculty of the 部门 of 自然科学 is fully committed to this purpose.
As an undergraduate student in 自然科学 at Lawrence Tech, you will:
You will always be advised by the chair of the department or by a director or coordinator of your program.
The university is committed to providing the department and its students with the advanced instrumentation that they are likely to use in their future careers. All the instrumentation is available for undergraduate use and is often introduced at Lawrence Tech far earlier than at other institutions.
Multiple tracks of study are available in both chemistry and physics to enable students to tailor their programs to specific career goals such as biophysics or material sciences. Details of these programs can be found under the descriptions of the individual programs.
自然科学 students are encouraged to pursue co-op and internship opportunities in industry while earning college credit. In several programs an independent senior project is required for graduation. These projects can be carried out by a student individually or as a member of an interdisciplinary team, both of which are expected of technical workers in an industrial setting.
The 部门 of 自然科学 is housed on the second and third floors of the Science Building at Lawrence Tech. This is a modern facility designed with the needs of the sciences at the forefront. 物理 laboratories are on the second floor and chemistry laboratories are on the third floor. 教职工通常在教学实验室附近设有办公室. 一些联合仪器实验室空间在三楼.
The department is fully equipped with all the instrumentation needed for thorough training in all our major programs. 主要设备的部分清单包括:
The department policy is to introduce advanced instrumentation at the earliest opportunity in a student’s education.
Lawrence Tech’s undergraduate 自然科学 programs are intended to produce scientists who:
Dr. 香农Timmons joined the 利记sbo faculty in the fall of 2008 and teaches organic chemistry and biochemistry courses in the 部门 of 自然科学. Dr. Timmons has a keen interest in the chemistry of biologically active organic molecules. 在利记sbo的研究实验室里, her undergraduate student researchers have recently synthesized aspirin analogs for anticancer and antibacterial testing, bisphenol A analogs for toxicity and hyperactivity testing in zebrafish, and cationic contrast agents for micro-CT imaging applications related to the study of degenerative disc disease.
利记sbo students can participate in a wide range of exciting activities that elevate the learning experience.
