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 lab modules teach concepts like DNA extraction,the unique properties of polymers, and process engineering to make cosmetics. An unique aspectof this program is parental involvement. While students engage in labs, their parents are given in-formation on college financial aid and admissions to help them support their daughters through theapplication process. A laboratory module for parents and their daughters allows them to conducthands-on experiments as a team. Our program empowers parents to envision their daughters asengineers. Based
