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

这个项目的重点有两个方面：1)为本科生提供提高的紫外/可见分光光度法能力，用于分析化学、生物化学、高级实验课程和研究项目的实验，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，使他们获得计算机接口的经验，用于实验室仪器控制和数据采集。一套由分光光度计、附件、微机系统和相关软件组成的综合多用途系统将供本科学生在为化学、生物和医学技术专业学生服务的高级化学课程中使用。通过这个项目，白求恩-库克曼学院，一个历史上的黑人机构，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.
