Peer Reviewed Journal via three different mandatory reviewing processes, since 2006, and, from September 2020, a fourth mandatory peer-editing has been added.
Inter-disciplinary Inquiry-Based Science
Experiences that have Science
Technology Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) in the
undergraduate learning experiences are
the learning experiences needed for the
21st century. The laboratory research
experiences for my undergraduate
science education students working on
development of sensors to analysis of
field samples changes a typical
traditional classroom into a highly
interactive learning environment. The
inquiry-based labs are required to
engage students into problem solving
with the process of critical thinking
skills. These problem-based skills
enable students to generate, evaluate and
share their research findings for their
sensors developed. The students are
required to design the sensor to analyze
a sample collected on a field trip. The
sensor(s) developed to the samples
collected on a field trip are analyzed by
technology such as cyclic voltammetry
(CV), differential pulse voltammetry
(DPV), square-wave anodic stripping
voltammetry (SWASV), Scanning
Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
(FTIR), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and
Raman Spectroscopy [1-3]. The results
of the SWASV will be shared to show
the students success at learning how to
utilize and develop novel sensors in this
talk related to heavy metal detection in
water sampling.
