Since 1980, and especially within the last three years, there has          been rapid growth in the area of microbiology in this department.  This         is reflected in a 49% increase in the number of students enrolled in            the basic microbiology course and the subsequent increase in demand for         upper division courses.  In response to this demand, a new faculty              member, with expertise in immunology, was hired by the department in            1986, providing the department with the opportunity to expand its               offerings in microbiology and to provide a core of courses approved by          the American Society for Microbiology.                                                                                                                               The equipment procured through this prospect is enhancing the              laboratory experiences offered, and making it possible to offer                 additional courses in the near future.                                                                                                                               A teaching microscope, compatible with a video display system,             provides both an opportunity to improve instruction in microscopy and           to use techniques in fluorescence microscopy.  The equipping of a               tissue culture laboratory permits the experimental manipulation of              mammalian cells.  Students also are gaining experience in                       immunoelectrophoresis, ELISA and other microtechniques, and in the              manipulation and visualization of nucleic acids.                                                                                                                     The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal            sum obtained from non-Federal sources.
