Enhancement of Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum Through Computer Driven AA and FTIR Spectrophotometer Applications

这个谢内克塔迪县社区学院项目涉及 加强化学实验课程， 更多的学生动手使用计算机驱动的仪器， 定性和定量实验。 完成这一目标 学院提议购置一台FTIR分光光度计， 一台原子吸收分光光度计和两台微机 系统. 这些补充，沿着现有文书， （1）学生申请人数增加， 最先进的仪器和微型计算机;（2）增加 学生应用的多样性;（3） 加强学生使用的传统技术， 定性和定量分析;（4）改善 学生遇到的最先进的设备;（5） 提高学生使用电脑的能力;及（6） 选修一门新的仪器分析课程 对学生 该机构为该项目作出了贡献， 金额相当于NSF的资金。

This Schenectady County Community College project involved the enhancement of the chemistry laboratory curriculum by incorporating more student hands-on use of computer-driven instruments for qualitative and quantitative experiments. To accomplish this goal the College proposed the acquisition of an FTIR spectrophotometer, an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and two microcomputer systems. These additions, along with existing instruments, allowed for: (1) an increase in the number of student applications using state-of-the-art instruments and microcomputers; (2) an increase in the diversity of the applications performed by students; (3) enhancement of the traditional techniques that students use for qualitative and quantitative analysis; (4) improvement of the state-of-the-art of the equipment that students encounter; (5) enhancement of student capabilities with computers; and (6) introduction of a new instrumental analysis course as an elective for students. The institution contributed to this project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.
