Demonstrating a deep commitment to the field of science education, UNI’s Science Education Resource Center has touched the lives of countless students and teachers across Iowa since it was founded in 1978.
Now, the center will continue on its mission under a new name: Yager Science Education Resources and Outreach.
Earlier this year, the UNI Department of Biology received a $213,000 grant from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, which was used to purchase new microscopes outfitted with real-time imaging technology.
The new compound microscopes and stereo microscopes are outfitted with cameras that allow images to be displayed in real-time on a computer monitor, laptop or personal device. Users will be able to capture images, annotate them and use them in lab reports or for studying.
In keeping with its commitment to preparing graduates for Industry 4.0, the Department of Applied Engineering and Technical Management has announced the first degree of its kind in the state of Iowa.
