Jack Adams Location: Science Lab Building, Room 124 Telephone: 801-626-6058 The Center for Bioremediation is a State of Utah Center of Excellence that facilitates development, enhancement, and marketing of biotechnologies for remediation and environmental restoration. Center remediation processes use biological methods alone, or in conjunction with chemical and physical treatment methods. Research goals are to understand microbial/contaminant interactions to enhance and develop applied remediation processes. Bioremediation research draws on diverse disciplines, including microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, geology, and environmental engineering. Center programs provide: 1. Assistance and collaboration with local, national, and international industry, universities, and federal agencies for environmental remediation and restoration 2. Multidisciplinary research and training opportunities for students, through employment and internships 3. Opportunities for students to learn and utilize new skills in undergraduate research projects 4. Collaborative environmental research opportunities for WSU and visiting professionals Providing hands-on undergraduate research experiences and environmental research opportunities for faculty are two of the main Center goals. Furthermore, the Center's affiliation with other universities provides a mechanism for student researchers to continue education and training through graduate research programs. ii^SHfijM mental Services center Director: Dr. Barbara Wachocki Location: Science Lab Building, Rm 303M Telephone: 801-626-7559 The Center for Environmental Services cooperates with other WSU offices, departments and colleges by providing assistance and training in current trends of corporate environmental responsibility and methods to cope with hazardous materials, wastewater and air quality. The Center facilitates WSU partnerships with municipalities, and both the service and manufacturing sectors of business to encourage environmentally responsible economic growth along the Northern Wasatch Front of Utah. General categories of service offered by the Center include: • environmental management training and exam testing, • environmental advisement, • cooperative environmental research, development, and scientific testing, • integration of environmental management concepts into existing WSU curricula, and • Environmental Information Clearinghouse. Training topics include: environmental regulations and compliance, waste minimization, hazardous materials management, environmental safety, pollution prevention, air and water quality, and environmental audits. CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY CENTER Director: Dr. Edward B. Walker Location: Science Lab Building, Rm 503M Telephone: 801-626-6162 The Center for Chemical Technology is a State of Utah Center of Excellence. The mission of the Center is to conduct applied research on chemical problems leading directly to new and/or enhanced product innovations. Faculty and students of various science departments participate in research projects of the Center as appropriate. Students in the College of Science are employed in Center projects where they gain valuable work experience as well as earn money to assist in their educational expenses. Over forty Utah companies have benefited from various types of assistance from the Center. Furthermore, the Center attempts to bring Utah companies with diversified chemical interests together to form alliances that are mutually beneficial to them and to the State of Utah. MUSEUM Director: Dr. Keith Harrison Location: Lind Lecture Hall 104 Telephone: 801-626-6653 The Museum of Natural Science is an educational facility available to students in elementary and secondary schools, college students, and members of the community. Exhibits of interest include Plate Tectonics, Valley Glaciation, Continental Glaciation, The World of Neanderthal Man, the Grand Canyon District, Edward S. Curtis Indian Photographs, the Ichthyosaur, Dimetrodon, Allosaurus, Sabertooth Tiger, Petroglyphs, sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks, minerals, fossils, and geological models. Teachers wishing instructional materials and/or activities concerning the Museum s exhibits should contact the Director of the Museum of Natural Science, 801-626-6653. The Museum is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except on holidays. Student group visits are encouraged in the afternoon. 249 PLANETARIUM Director: Dr. John Sohl, SL 204A Telephone: 801-626-7907 The Planetarium, featuring a 30- foot hemispherical dome, is used for instruction in undergraduate astronomy classes. It is also a science education facility featuring programs of interest to elementary students, secondary students, and the general public. For the general public, a program featuring some topic of current interest in astronomy is given one evening a week. Any teacher wishing instructional materials or wanting to set up an appointment for a class visit should contact the Director of the Planetarium, or the Director of the Center for Science & Mathematics Education, 801-626-6855. Premedical professional programs For information call Julie Baker, Secretary, Department of Zoology, SL402, 801-626-6165. Students pursuing one of the following programs should satisfy the preprofessional requirements while completing a bachelor degree within the College of Science. Students should work closely with both their preprofessional advisor and their academic major advisor. Since course loads are typically heavy, and requirements and application procedures vary among postgraduate programs, students should plan their academic strategies early and with full information. Advisement Students should be familiar with requirements in the Weber State catalog and consult with the preprofessional advisor and an advisor in their major department.
