A departmental committee has been working diligently to improve the
undergraduate research program by providing some structure and specific student
outcomes. A new course is currently being formed that will combine CHEM241
Descriptive Inorganic and CHEM301 Chemical Literature into one new course,
CHEM291 Introduction to Chemical Research. This new course, CHEM291, will
prepare majors in their sophomore year for undergraduate research by including
many important skills such as literature searching, use of laboratory notebooks,
report writing, giving seminars, and professional ethics. We believe this change
will result in students being more productive when they begin their research and
result in a more professional capstone seminar in the spring of their senior year.
This past summer we had a number undergraduate research projects. There were a total of 14
students working on analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, and physical chemistry. The projects included
cutting-edge bio-fuel blends along with hydrogen combustion. Students involved in the projects were in
part funded by Hoosier Biodiesel, NSF, and IRC (Interdisciplinary Research Collaborative). The IRC,
formerly known as IRCBC, has been funded by external sources and the Chemistry and ABBE
Departments. The IRC has a very large symposium in the Fall each year whereby students present the
results of their research. This past fall was the largest with a total of 32 students presenting their work
through talks and poster sessions. Providing summer research support for faculty and students continues
to be one of our greatest challenges as we continue to try to increase this valuable activity.
The Board of Advisors has increased by five new
members: Charles Haywood, President of Haywood-King;
Stephen Jacobson from Indiana University; Marc
Klingshirn from University of Illinois in Springfield;
Mitch Landess of Rose-Hulman Ventures; Carl Lecher,
Director of the Marian College Institute for Green and
Sustainable Science; and Jeff Wilson, President of Hoosier
Biodiesel. The intent of this new group of Board of
Advisors is to create collaborative research programs with
Rose-Hulman and these other entities. The next Board of Advisors meeting is scheduled for Friday,
March 13, 2009.
As you can see, we have made tremendous progress improving the curriculum and undergraduate
research. The laboratories continue to improve. The instrument capabilities of the Chemistry
Department are second to none of schools our size. Rose-Hulman continues to be the best undergraduate
chemistry program anywhere!
IRC The Interdisciplinary Research Collaborative (IRC)
program is intended to support full-time summer research by
Rose-Hulman undergraduate students at Rose-Hulman; the
program pays stipends to the students, provides supply money
for the projects, and provides a small honorarium to the faculty
mentors. The IRC program has been funded by two major
grants, with supplemental funding from the Department of
Applied Biology & Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Chemistry.
The summer of 2008 marked the fifth consecutive year of the IRC program, with a record seventeen
students and eleven faculty members participating in IRC-sponsored summer research. The 17 students
were chosen from an applicant pool of 37 students based on academic excellence and perceived interest in
research.
Communicating the research results to the scientific community is an integral part of performing
research. Each year, the IRC has held an undergraduate research symposium during the fall. The
symposium serves as a forum for the IRC students to present their work to fellow students. In addition, it
has also attracted both attendees and presenters from other local institutions: the 5th Annual IRC
