A Computerized Diode Array UV/VIS Spectrophotometer for Modernizing the Chemistry Program at Shepherd College

近年来，谢泼德学院采取了重大步骤来更新其化学专业的课程。这些课程包括毕业所需的计算机科学课程、仪器分析的团队教学和化学安全课程的介绍。在这个项目中，购买了一台UV/Vis光谱仪。该仪器在仪器分析、生化技术、有机化学和化学科学(供未来教师使用)课程中使用。此外，这台新仪器腾出了部门的旧仪器，借给当地的高中，扩大了目前借出我们旧的红外光谱仪的成功计划。该机构正在将NSF的拨款与同等数额的资金相匹配。

In recent years significant steps have been taken by Shepherd College to update the curriculum of its chemistry majors. These include the Computers in Science course required for graduation, the team teaching of Instrumental Analysis and the introduction of a Chemical Safety course. In this project a UV/Vis spectrometer was purchased. This instrument is used across the curriculum in Instrumental Analysis, Biochemical Techniques, Organic Chemistry, and Computers in the Chemical Science (for future teachers) course. In addition this new instrument has freed up the department's old instrument for loans to the local high schools extending the current successful program of lending out our old infrared spectrometer. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
