Ultraviolet/Visible Spectrophotometry and Computer Inter- facing in Undergraduate Chemistry

该项目的重点有两个方面：1)为本科生提供分析化学、生物化学和高级实验室课程和研究项目的改进的紫外可见分光光度分析能力，包括进行动力学实验的能力；2)为学生提供计算机硬件和软件，以获得实验室仪器控制和数据采集的计算机接口经验。本科生将在为化学、生物和医学技术专业服务的高级化学课程中使用由分光光度计、附件、微型计算机系统和相关软件组成的综合多功能系统。通过这个项目，白求恩-库克曼学院，一所历史上是黑人的机构，将继续为少数民族学生的科学教育做出重大贡献。

The focus of this project is two-fold: 1) to provide undergraduates with improved ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometric capabilities for experimentation in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and advanced laboratory courses and research projects, including capability for conducting kinetics experiments, and 2) to provide computer hardware and software for students to gain experience with computer interfacing for laboratory instrument control and data acquisition. An integrated, multipurpose system consisting of a spectrophotometer, accessories, microcomputer system, and associated software will be used by undergraduate students in upper-level chemistry courses serving chemistry, biology, and medical technology majors. Through this project Bethune-Cookman College, an historically Black institution, will continue its significant contribution to science education of minority students.
