Chemistry labs stimulate student curiosity about the natural world while providing the opportunity to (i) apply the scientific method to generate and evaluate data, (ii) communicate scientific results, and (iii) develop the technical skills required to work safely and effectively in a professional laboratory environment. Beyond preparing students for their immediate transfer or career placement goals, the reasoning and communication skills that our students hone through our courses also build their capacity to act as informed and engaged citizens and empower them to act as positive change agents in furthering the vision of a more just, equitable and sustainable society.
