Improvement of Spectrometric Instructional and Research Capabilities

本计划将提供女性科学专业学生实际操作现代光谱仪器与电脑的经验，以研究分子结构与动力学，从而改善她们的教育。收购90 MHz FT-NMR多核和变温探针，GC/MS和快速扫描紫外/可见分光光度计，将提供深入和具有挑战性的实验室项目。我们将通过扩展目前使用的实验和替换不使用先进技术的不太复杂的实验，将这些项目纳入我们的课程。使用先进的设备进行高水平的实验，将加强对课堂上涵盖的理论概念和基本应用的理解。

This project will improve the education of women science majors by providing them with hands-on experience with modern spectrometric instruments interfaced with computers to study molecular structure and dynamics. The acquisition of a 90 MHz FT-NMR with multinuclear and variable temperature probes, a GC/MS, and a fast-scanning UV/VIS spectrophotometer, will provide for in-depth and challenging laboratory projects. We will incorporate these projects into our curriculum by both expanding experiments that are currently used and replacing less sophisticated experiments that do not use advanced techniques. Carrying out high-level experiments using sophisticated equipment will enhance the understanding of theoretical concepts and basic applications covered in the classroom.
