摘要：The use of inquiry-based learning (IBL) labs related to real-world issues in the 21 st century has been the focus of our problem based labs. Every day the quality and quantity of water resources are expected to define the 21st century and the future of the planet which is nearly seven billion people. The electroanalytical, analytical techniques and various instrumentation utilized in the inquiry-based learning labs were to educate our students about the real world based problems and environmental concerns and how to detect various carcinogenic compounds. The use of learning various techniques to analyze the samples involved voltammetry, Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). The undergraduate students with carbon nanotubes integrated with conductive polymers and nanoparticles as modified conductive working electrodes to detect various carcinogenic compounds by various voltammetric techniques without the need of prior separation were the main focus of these inquiry- based labs. The collaboration with universities and industry have allowed these labs to be IBL (Inquiry-Based Learning) with real-world detection of heavy metals in water to carcinogens thus assist students in understanding the importance of chemistry..
