Incorporation of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry in theUndergraduate Curriculum

本项目将整合整个课程的概念、实践和气相色谱仪器与质量选择检测（GC/MS）的专业应用。化学、生物学和所有层次的专业预科学生都将看到和/或学习如何利用这种分析工具的力量来鉴定和定量未知物质。利用GC/MS鉴别和结构解析能力的新实验将被纳入普通化学、有机、高级有机和高级无机课程。气相色谱/质谱仪将成为环境化学实验课的重要基础仪器，环境化学是一门新的高年级课程，将于1993年首次开设。此外，还将加强有关环境科学的初高中教师教育和拓展计划。

This project will integrate across the curriculum the concepts, practice, and specialized uses of gas chromatography instrumentation coupled with mass selective detection (GC/MS). Chemistry, biology, and pre-professional majors at all levels will see and/or learn how to utilize the power of this analysis tool for identification and quantitation of unknown materials. New experiments that take advantage of the identification and structure elucidation capability of GC/MS will be incorporated in General Chemistry, Organic, Advanced Organic, and Advanced Inorganic courses. The GC/MS will be an essential cornerstone instrument for the laboratory component of Environmental Chemistry, a new upper division course that will be offered for the first time in 1993. In addition, a proposed middle- and high-school teacher education and outreach program that involves environmental science will be enhanced.
