An Undergraduate Experiment to Introduce Surface Science FundamentalsKatherine Gascon, Steven J. Weinstein, Michael G. AntoniadesRochester Institute of TechnologyAbstractThe thermodynamic concepts relevant to surfactant adsorption, and their impact on surfacetension, are introduced in a laboratory experiment designed for undergraduate students. Using areliable and accessible method, students measure the surface tension of aqueous solutions atdifferent concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Students collect data to estimate thecritical micelle concentration (CMC) and quantitatively determine the maximum surface excessusing the Gibbs adsorption equation. Students subsequently determine the surface area permolecule of this surfactant

The student went through the entire cycle of design, simulation,fabrication, and test of a working device prototype. Through this approach, the studentexperienced a microcosm of graduate school while interacting with graduate students,experiencing the difference between laboratory and simulation work, and developing technicalwriting skills through the development of the electronic portfolio.IntroductionA program referred to as "Research on Research" has been developed to expose undergraduatestudents to academic research.

The students arechallenged not just by the design, but by the integration of these various types of technology.There are two ways we fail to prepare students to meet this challenge.First of all, course work and laboratory work are compartmentalized. A student may take adigital electronics course with a complementary laboratory component. The lab experiencesgained may be very suitable for demonstrating the analysis and design of combinational andsequential logic circuits, but they do not teach the students how to interface digital circuits withanalog circuits or computer software.Another way in which we fail to prepare students to meet the challenge of their capstone designproject is by not providing enough

Many labs, homework exercises, and activities involve interpreting signals generated by using sensors and circuits of the student’s creation, interpreting those signals using programming, and making design decisions based off of those interpretations. • All laboratory exercises in the first half of the courses are designed to be carried out in groups of two or three, and be significantly open-ended (see Tables 1, 2, and 3).
