A series of experiments are being developed by the Geology Department at        Colgate University to introduce undergraduates to modern analytical             methods using the scanning electron microscope and the EDAX X-ray               Analysis System. These experiments are being introduced into existing           departmental courses with increasing levels of sophistication.  The             project also involves activities directed at larger audiences consisting        of non-science students, faculty and secondary school students.  In             addition, the instrumentation is being used to enhance the existing             program of cooperative student-faculty research, consistent with the            departmental philosophy that problem-oriented research efforts are an           essential part of undergraduate science education.
