This project will increase the scientific literacy of students by allowing them to experience the excitement and power of technological advances in chemical instrumentation and improve chemistry education on all levels by providing instruction and increasingly consistent use of the type of chemical instrumentation used routinely in the chemical profession. A Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer System will be purchased. At each course level students will be introduced to infrared (IR) spectroscopy theory at a slightly deeper level and will get experience in using the instrument. The non-majors in the introductory course will be taught the very fundamental concepts of IR spectroscopy and will do grouping studies of IR spectra they produce from thin film polymers they bring. Students in the preparatory chemistry course, general chemistry, and organic chemistry will progress through increasingly higher levels of instrumental operation, techniques of sample preparation, including attenuated internal reflectance and diffuse reflectance, spectral interpretation, structural identification, data base searches, data acquisition and manipulation, and spectral storage. They will do both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

该项目将通过让学生体验化学仪器技术进步的兴奋和力量来提高他们的科学素养，并通过提供指导和越来越一致地使用化学专业中常规使用的化学仪器来改进各级化学教育。将购买傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱仪系统。在每门课程中，学生将被介绍红外(IR)光谱理论，在略深的水平上，并将获得使用仪器的经验。导论课程的非专业学生将学习红外光谱的基本概念，并对他们带来的薄膜聚合物产生的红外光谱进行分组研究。预科化学、普通化学和有机化学的学生将通过越来越高水平的仪器操作、样品制备技术，包括衰减内反射和漫反射、光谱解释、结构识别、数据库搜索、数据采集和处理以及光谱存储来进步。他们将进行定性和定量的分析。
