| The departments in
the College of Science, Engineering and Technology have a proud history
of preparing students for careers in biology, chemistry, geosciences, mathematics,
statistics, industrial technology, engineering technology, telecommunications,
graphic communications, engineering and physics. The programs of the College
are exceptionally strong because of our talented, dedicated, student-oriented
faculty.
Graduate degrees offered
by the College of Science, Engineering and Technology are Master of Arts
in geography, graphic communications technology and mathematics; Master
of Science in biology, chemistry, management of technology, geosciences,
mathematics and water science; and Master of Arts in Teaching in mathematics.
The college also offers courses in support of the Master of Arts in Education.
The college's faculty
are recognized scholars whose state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research
is funded by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, National
Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency and the Department
of Energy. Like some of the finest liberal arts colleges in the country,
we use our research program to enhance the learning environment for our
undergraduate and graduate students. It is our belief that students learn
science, mathematics, engineering, and technology best by doing REAL work
in these areas. To this end, some Murray State students have the opportunity
to work side-by-side with faculty trying to solve some of the most interesting
questions facing the scientific community today. Our students, both undergraduate
and graduate, have published the results of their research in national
journals and presented their work at regional and national conferences.
In other cases, students at Murray State have the opportunity to gain valuable
hands-on experience through our co-op program. These kinds of experiences
give our graduates the edge they need when applying for graduate school,
professional school or, when entering the job market.
Murray State's designation
as a Commonwealth Center of Excellence for Reservoir Research and the Program
of Distinction in Telecommunication Systems Management adds to our distinctiveness
both in the state and in the national and international academic communities.
There is little question
that our academic program is different from those you will find at many
universities. It is because of this difference that the College of Science,
Engineering and Technology received a $1.5 million award from the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute, identifying our pre-medical program as one of
the premier programs in the country. The Hughes award is one of the most
sought after recognitions of academic excellence presented in the academic
community today.
Our faculty are here
to help all our students, providing extra challenge or extra help as needed.
The College's legacy of offering the very best in undergraduate and graduate
instruction continues to be our top priority. Our faculty continuously
review and revise our curricula to help ensure that our programs are preparing
all our students for today and tomorrow's careers.
Associate degree programs
in the college are closely related to the Kentucky Tech Prep education
initiative. Graduates and transfer students from technical, community and
junior colleges are invited to continue their education in our upper-division
baccalaureate degree programs.
Programs and Facilities
Program of Distinction
in Telecommunication Systems Management. The telecommunications field,
which incorporates systems and networks of leading-edge technologies such
as fiber optic systems, satellites, wireless, telephony and cable, is rapidly
changing and growing. The changes taking place in this field are dramatically
influencing how individuals and institutions communicate and how they conduct
business. Technological advances in the telecommunications area have profoundly
affected government, retail, finance, health care, education, industry
and entertainment sectors. Murray State's exciting new program in telecommunications
systems management is helping prepare our graduates to become the leaders
in this important emerging field.
Center of Excellence
for Reservoir Research. Murray State University hosts one of the five
designated Centers of Excellence in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. With
funding support from agencies like the National Science Foundation, Department
of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Tennessee Valley Authority
and the Kentucky Department for Natural Resources, Murray State's research
program in ecosystem sciences is both nationally and internationally recognized.
Three distinct components
make up the Center: the Hancock Biological Station (HBS), the Mid-America
Remote sensing Center (MARC), and the Chemical Services Laboratory (CSL).
The Center's primary research focus is long-term reservoir studies, principally
on Kentucky and Barkley lakes. Center expertise is also available for analyzing
environmental problems associated with other ecosystems in the region.
The Center for Reservoir
Research provides outstanding research opportunities for scientists from
around the world to study the region's unique environment. The Center also
provides Murray State University undergraduate and graduate students with
an opportunity to engage in hands-on research with faculty who are at the
vanguard of ecosystem science.
Mid-America Remote
sensing Center. Since the late 1970's when Murray State was declared
the official NASA Landsat technology transfer agent, the Mid-America Remote
sensing Center has distinguished itself as the premier remote sensing/geographic
information center for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. MARC associates have
educated students from all over the world in applications of space-age
technology. In addition, MARC faculty and staff, using state-of-the-art
image processing hardware and software, have conducted numerous resource
management projects throughout the region for government as well as private
sector groups. MARC also serves as a "clearinghouse" for geographically
referenceable data bases for the Center of Excellence, with MARC associates
coordinating the design and implementation of an interactive automated
geographic information system (GIS) for Kentucky Lake and its surrounding
environments.
Hancock Biological
Station. A year-round research and teaching facility located on beautiful
Kentucky Lake, the HBS is one of the finest centers of its kind in the
Midwest. HBS acts as the field research focal point for the Center of Excellence
for Reservoir Research and for the Ecological Consortium of Mid-America.
The facilities, which include both faculty and student housing, are available
year-round to all scientists interested in ecosystem research. Hancock
Biological Station contains state-of-the-art laboratories for aquatic chemistry,
scanning electron microscopy, ecology, wildlife and fisheries. A full-time
technical staff operates the facilities. Field-oriented classes at the
station attract students from around the nation. A wide variety of formal
classes are offered each summer. These may include ecology, ornithology,
limnology, field botany, stream ecology, reservoir ecology, scanning electron
microscopy and vertebrate ecology. Independent research topics provide
opportunities for individualized instruction and close interactions with
researchers. Classes are open to undergraduates, graduate students, teachers
and others interested in enhancing their knowledge of ecology, ecosystems
and the natural environment.
Chemical Services
Laboratory. The Chemical Services Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art
instrumentation enabling high-quality instruction in environmental analytical
chemistry at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Chemical Services
Laboratory is a major contributor to the Center of Excellence research
through its provision of chemical analyses for environmental chemistry,
ecotoxicological, trace element and acid deposition studies. In addition,
it offers regional laboratory service for industries, institutions and
individuals in west Kentucky, the greater Ohio Valley region and beyond
in fulfillment of its regional economic service role.
The College of Science,
Engineering and Technology enjoys excellent facilities in the Martha Layne
Collins Center, Hugh L. Oakley Applied Science Building, Blackburn Science
Building and several off-campus sites. Also, the Commonwealth of Kentucky
has approved the construction of a new facility at Murray State University.
The anticipated completion date of the first phase of this exciting new
teaching and research facility is the fall of 2004.

The Department of Biological
Sciences has offices, classrooms, laboratories, and research facilities
on the second and third floors of the Blackburn Science Building. The department
also has two off-campus resources which are utilized in field-oriented
teaching and research programs. One of these, Murphy's Pond, is a 300-acre
preserve in Hickman County with one of the few remaining cypress swamps
in western Kentucky. The other, Hancock Biological Station, is a modern
classroom/laboratory complex located on the western shore of Kentucky Lake
17 miles from the main campus. The station is ideally located in an area
of diverse aquatic habitats and is the focal point for the Center of Excellence
for Reservoir Research, dedicated to the study of Kentucky and Barkley
Reservoirs.

Chemistry Teaching
Specialization
The teaching specialization
in chemistry is a path to Secondary Certification in Chemistry, designed
to accompany certification in another science content area. (All College
of Education secondary certification course requirements must be met.)
The teaching specialization in chemistry meets and exceeds Murray State
University's requirements for a minor in chemistry.
Note: Even though
this program exceeds Murray State University's requirements for a chemistry
minor, in order for a chemistry minor to appear on your transcript, a minor
must be declared, and all residential and graduation requirements must
be met.
Requirements for
teacher certification are established by the Kentucky Education Professional
Standards Board. Students are cautioned that changes in these requirements
may occur. Therefore, for the most current information, students should
check with an advisor in the College of Education.
