Georgia Perimeter College Joins The MeasureNet Community
Georgia Perimeter College has selected MeasureNet to upgrade its electronic data acquisition capabilities at its Clarkston Campus in Metro Atlanta. The college is the largest two-year institution in the state of Georgia and is noted for its extensive distance learning program.
MeasureNet will be installed in Clarkston's General Chemistry Lab. Nine sections of General Chemistry I and II will be offered in the fall servicing some 216 students. Many are pre-pharmacy and pre-med majors, with some coming from the school's pre-engineering program. Students typically continue on to dental school, physician assistant programs, and veterinary studies. Some students transfer to engineering programs at Georgia Tech, and others leave to pursue pharmacy and medical school opportunities.
Margaret Venable, Ph.D., Chair of the Science and Physical Education Department, said the selection of MeasureNet was a relatively straightforward decision. "We felt that MeasureNet was a good fit because of the probeware choices, the compact size (bench space is a real issue in our labs), and the ease of use. It looks like it will be easy for our part-time instructors to learn how to use and easy for our students..."
Georgia Perimeter College at Clarkston joins other notable former Labworks users now using MeasureNet including neighboring Agnes Scott College in Decatur and North Dakota State University in Fargo.
