Integration of an FT-IR Spectrophotometer into the Undergraduate Curriculum

伊萨卡学院将购买FT-IR，用于其面向理科专业的所有本科化学实验室课程及其研究项目。获得这种由计算机控制的仪器具有宽光谱范围、出色的分辨率和广泛的数据处理能力，将加强综合实验室计划。该仪器将允许学生做更好的结构测定，并获得比他们目前的仪器更多更好的数据。生物、生物化学和化学专业的学生都将从该仪器中受益。这款分光光度计也将在学期和暑期供研究人员使用。一些在暑期做研究的高中生预计也会受益。该仪器还将联网，以改进许多化学讲座课程以及实验室课程讨论部分的教学。

Ithaca College will purchase an FT-IR for use in all of its undergraduate chemistry laboratory courses for science majors and its research programs. Acquisition of this computer- controlled instrument with a wide spectral range, excellent resolution and extensive data manipulation capabilities will enhance the integrated laboratory program. The instrument will allow students to do better structure determinations and obtain more and better data than is possible with their present instruments. Biology, biochemistry and chemistry majors will all benefit from the instrument. This spectrophotometer will also be used by research students both during the semesters and in the summer. Some high school students doing research in the summer are also expected to benefit. The instrument also be networked to improve the teaching in many of the chemistry lecture courses as well as in the discussion portions of the laboratory courses.
