This project allows the chemistry students at Truman College their first opportunity to use contemporary, computer interfaced scientific instrumentation in their organic and analytical chemistry laboratories. This instrument, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), gives the students a powerful tool to enhance their skills when using microscale organic chemistry laboratory experiments. The FT-IR allows fast, accurate identification of organic compounds when enhanced with computer interfaced data acquisition and interpretation capabilities. Use of this instrumentation enables our student population to acquire the laboratory skills necessary to compete successfully when they transfer to baccalaureate programs or seek professional employment. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.

该项目使杜鲁门学院的化学学生第一次有机会在有机和分析化学实验室中使用现代计算机接口科学仪器。 该仪器是傅里叶变换红外光谱仪 (FT-IR)，为学生在使用微型有机化学实验室实验时提高他们的技能提供了强大的工具。 当计算机接口的数据采集和解释功能得到增强时，FT-IR 可以快速、准确地识别有机化合物。 使用该仪器使我们的学生群体能够获得必要的实验室技能，以便在转入学士学位课程或寻求专业就业时成功竞争。 该机构正在为 NSF 拨款提供等额的资金。
