Analytical Science Education for Chemical Laboratory Technicians

摘要

Educating chemical laboratory technicians in the analytical sciences is a special and unique task. The knowledge and skills of newly-trained technicians must meet the requirements of the local industry. In addition, if the training program is to obtain formal Americal Chemical Society (ACS) approval, it must also conform to ACS guidelines. In this chapter, the ACS guidelines and the approval process will be discussed. In addition, some recently-created materials published expressly for chemistry technician education will be described and the curricula of selected ACS-approved educational programs will be examined.
