PROFESSIONAL AND SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES:
Daryl’s
interest in science education spans twenty years. He either independently or in collaboration with others has
received grants from various state and national agencies. Dr. Mincey and
colleagues received two grants of $78,000 in 1986 and $72,000 in 1988. These
grants developed techniques to model pollutant transport in the Mahoning River.
Dr. Mincey has worked with the Youngstown State University Technology
Development Corporation on a $372,000 Ohio Department of Development Grant
titled: ‘The Mahoning River Corridor Redevelopment Project.’ Other grants
provided equipment to enhance a recently developed environmental science
curriculum and establish a site for chemistry both undergraduates and graduates
to experience real-life research problems using state-of-the-art
instrumentation. Dr. Mincey was a Co-PI on a grant from the Ohio Board of
Regents to introduce technology-aided instruction into the organic and
quantitative analysis course offerings. He has served on the Science Committee
of the Industrial Information Institute for Education Inc. for 17 years. Its
goal is to facilitate science education in the Mahoning Valley. Dr. Mincey was
the founding Director of the District 15 of the Ohio Junior Academy of Science;
an organization dedicated to the promotion of science education through
hands-on research. The District 15 Science Fair has a yearly attendance of over
500 students. It is his experience in observing science fair participants that
has developed his appreciation for hands-on, open-ended, problem-based
learning.
At YSU teaching duties have included teaching
graduate courses in analytical and clinical environmental chemistry and
undergraduate courses in analytical, biological, and environmental chemistry.
In a collaborative effort with L. Schroeder and S. Martin developed the
environmental studies program. His major area of interest is the elemental
determination of metals in environmental samples. The directing of
undergraduate and graduate research has been a significant responsibility for
him. Twenty-six master students have received degrees under his direction. He has in addition directed 32 undergraduate
research projects and was an atomic spectroscopy resource for many more.
