The Undergraduate Instrumentation Facility houses the department’s major scientific instruments and brings together an essential collection of instrumentation, support equipment and staff. The facility seeks to maintain research level instrumentation, provide access to and training on the instruments, and promote a safe working environment through training and adherence to best practices.
The Instrumentation Facility is proactive in maintaining and the acquisition of research grade instruments in keeping with technological trends and advancement. Our goal is to integrate the high tech scientific instruments into our teaching labs to provide direct hands-on experience to all students in our laboratory course; to provide training that promotes safe and effective use of the facilities; and to provide our expertise to support and enrich student and faculty research. This allows students to use high tech instrumentation and gain valuable research experience as they progress through our academic programs.
