WILMINGTON — A grant for additional innovative laboratory techniques has been awarded to Cape Fear Community College.
The National Science Foundation is researching advanced thermal imaging technology and selected CFCC, along with Harold Washington University of Chicago and Arizona Western University, to develop portable devices that efficiently utilize thermal imaging.
These devices are integrated into classroom laboratories and are used to support general and organic chemistry courses and visually display chemical and physical changes.
Tracy Holbrook, CFCC’s chemical technology program director, is one of three co-leaders of the study.
“By pioneering the use of thermal imaging technology in the classroom, we’re not only teaching science, we’re teaching science. We’re shaping the future of how students engage.” ” she said in a press release. “This joint effort strengthens our program’s commitment to providing innovative and impactful learning experiences.”
The developed product will be expanded to five additional community colleges for testing. Cost-effectiveness, portability, and seamlessness are all goals for thermal imaging products.
