Teaching of Analytical Chemistry at Universities in Poland

Summary Education in Analytical Chemistry in Poland is mainly carried out at Universities and Technical Universities according to a unified curriculum. Courses on Analytical Chemistry in the second year and on instrumental analysis in the third year are compulsory for all students of chemistry. There are courses and lectures on specialized subjects in the fourth and fifth year for those who intend to subunit their thesis in Analytical Chemistry.Presented at Euroanalysis III conference, Dublin, August 20–25, 1978

Education and training of Analytical chemists in Yugoslavia

Summary There are twenty chemistry departments at Yugoslavian universities and polytechnics with as many chairs of Analytical Chemistry. The individual courses show considerable differences with regard to their extent and content. The share of Analytical Chemistry is not uniform and taken as a whole not adequate. However, improvements are under way. Details of the main courses and teaching plans are given.Presented at Euroanalysis III conference. Dublin, August 20–25, 1978

Analytical Chemistry in chemical education in the Federal Republic of Germany

Summary The various tasks and problems of Analytical Chemistry and the connections with all ranges of life are shown by means of a graphical representation according to H. Kelker. Training facilities in Analytical Chemistry are differing at the individual universities. Several universities offer the possibility of studying this field more thoroughly. The situation at the University of Tübingen is described as an example.

Analytische Chemie in der chemischen Ausbildung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

Zusammenfassung An Hand einer graphischen Darstellung von H. Kelker werden die vielfältigen Problemstellungen der Analytischen Chemie und die Zusammenhänge mit allen Lebensbereichen gezeigt. Die Ausbildung in Analytischer Chemie ist an den deutschen Hochschulen unterschiedlich geregelt. An einzelnen Hochschulen wird die Möglichkeit eines vertieften Studiums geboten. Dies wird am Beispiel der Universität Tübingen aufgezeigt.

     

Undergraduate teaching of Analytical Chemistry at the Italian universities

Education in Analytical Chemistry

Summary After pointing out the necessity of including philosophical aspects in the teaching areas of Analytical Chemistry, proposals are made of new definitions of Analytical Chemistry and considerations are given of samples as representatives of a collective and carriers of information. An idealistic curriculum is presented for discussion.Presented at Euroanalysis III conference, Dublin, August 20–25, 1978     

Teaching of Analytical Chemistry in Polish Universities

The importance of Analytical Chemistry in the modern world is continually increasing. There are a lot of reasons: the need for environmental monitoring, food quality control, human health, industrial production quality control, nanotechnologies, material science; these are only some of the areas where analysts are indispensable. Analytical Chemistry, or rather Chemical Analytics, should be treated on a par with the three fundamental chemical courses: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. Analytical Chemistry, as an individual course or courses, is lectured in 52 Polish universities, including the Academy of Medicine and Academy of Life Sciences (agriculture and related). All these universities were already introduced in the Bolonia Process, The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) points, and three steps of education: Bachelor's degree (at universities of technology–Engineer's degree), Master's degree, and Doctoral Studies. Analytical Chemistry exists on all levels of teaching. On the first level, Bachelor's degree, the program of Analytical Chemistry contains the basic knowledge, so called classical Analytical Chemistry: gravimetric analysis, electrogravimetry, acid-base titration, oxidation-reduction titration, precipitation titration, complexometric titration, quality assurance, and quality control of results (2–3 h of lecture, 5 h of laboratory, and 1 h of seminar). During the second level (Master's degree) the program contains more developed analytical techniques: gas and liquid chromatography, spectrophotometric methods, electrochemical methods, elemental analysis, etc. The lecture courses at universities depend on the specific specialization, and there are a variety of different courses according to the need of specialization programs. The Bachelor's (engineer's) projects (diploma theses) are very often prepared in the field of Analytical Chemistry. The same occurs with Doctoral Studies; very often, students choose subject matters connected with Analytical Chemistry. This is why each year we have about 100 doctoral candidates in the field of Analytical Chemistry. The laboratories of Polish universities are well equipped with specialized apparatuses, but are strongly dependent on the university's profile and the size of the university. Students can participate in the scientific research carried on by the didactic staff, especially when completing diploma theses or doctorates. Some of them are performing studies and theses abroad, in the frame of the LLP ERASMUS Program. From our department, each year, about 10–12 students complete their Analytical Chemistry theses abroad. It promotes the European dimension and improves the quality of education by encouraging innovation in education.     

International student competitions in Analytical Chemistry

Summary Competition can play a very positive role of university, stimulating students to extra efforts. The international student competition in Analytical Chemistry as performed at Belgrade university is discussed in detail.Presented at Euroanalysis III conference, Dublin, August 20–25, 1978     

A nationwide planning of Analytical Chemistry in universities: Possibilities and problems

Summary A nationwide planning of Analytical Chemistry in universities should meet two requirements: formulation of a common minimum programme for all universities and a well-balanced spread of research themes over the different universities. In the Netherlands this planning is the object of ISOAN, the Intersubfaculty Deliberation on Analytical Chemistry. Perhaps spectacular results have not yet been obtained, however thinking about these subjects has led to a more lucid picture and better mutual understanding.Presented at Euroanalysis III conference, Dublin, August 20–25, 1978     

New approach in teaching analytical chemistry at the Technical Universities of Czechoslovakia

Summary The 5 year study programme of the Technical Universities in Czechoslovakia comprises two courses in Analytical Chemistry. In the second year of study there are 3 h lectures of AC and 9 h of laboratory work per week. In the third year instrumental analysis is taught — 3 h lectures and 7 h practical work per week. For the last two years a subject rearrangement has been going on for the purpose of intensifying the studies.Presented at Euroanalysis III conference, Dublin, August 20–25, 1978
