Post-Lab Research Connection Assignment
According to the ACE-Labs model (read Pages 3 and 4 of the laboratory manual for details),
this lab course also aims to create research connections for the students that will bring
them closer to understanding research as a social endeavor. We attempt to facilitate
students’ understanding of the relevance of scientific research in modern society. For
many, the very complex and rapid scientific and technological development of our society
can be a black box. We may perceive the advances in medicine and materials,
technological gadgets, etc. but do not really comprehend their origin and their connection
with scientific research.
