9351679 May This project will improve the chemistry curriculum by incorporating state of the art computer controlled analytical instruments into laboratory in struction directed to the first year chemistry student. The three instru ments chosen that meet these criteria include; a computer controlled diode array, spectrophotometer, gas chromatographs, a liquid chromatograph, and personal com puters for the laboratory use with the chromatographs. The laboratory experiments in first year chemistry will be redesigned with 30% of the present exercises elim inated as being outdated, 40% of the present experiments will be augmented with the purchased instrumentation, and the remaining experiments will be new and based on applications of the instruments that illustrate the lecture material with procedures found in modern chemistry laboratories. The students will benefit from this project in several ways including; (a) the laboratory work will gen erate more enthusiasm for and interest in chemistry; (b) they will start their training early in laboratory techniques required of a competent chemist or graduate student; (c) the laboratory work will more effectively illustrate the lecture material; and (d) they will have the opportunity to become involved in the design of their own experiments. ***

9351679这个项目将通过将最先进的计算机控制的分析仪器纳入针对化学一年级学生的实验室教学来改进化学课程。选择的符合这些标准的三种仪器包括：计算机控制的二极管阵列、分光光度计、气相色谱仪、液相色谱仪和实验室用的个人计算机和色谱仪。一年级的化学实验将重新设计，目前30%的练习已过时，40%的实验将用购买的仪器进行扩充，其余的实验将是新的，并以现代化学实验室中的程序说明讲义材料的仪器的应用为基础。学生将从这个项目中从几个方面受益，包括：(A)实验室工作将激发人们对化学的更多热情和兴趣；(B)他们将尽早开始培训合格的化学家或研究生所需的实验室技术；(C)实验室工作将更有效地说明授课材料；以及(D)他们将有机会参与自己的实验设计。***
