Creativity in the design of laboratory experiments requires access to appropriate techniques for the analysis of the results. When students are given responsibility for the design of experiments to explain phenomena, the need for advanced instrumentation is even greater. This project incorporates a GC-MS into the organic teaching laboratories. This instrument enhances the instrumental analytical capabilities for use in the Analytical Chemistry courses. A GC/MS, and a GC with a capillary column and an FID detector for method development, allows Organic Chemistry students greater creativity in their experimental design as they investigate competitive reactions and equilibrium environments. Analytical Chemistry students can gain a strong working knowledge of this essential instrumentation. The instrumentation can also be used for undergraduate student research. This project serves to enhance the education of women scientists and encourage them to pursue further scientific studies. If student participation is encouraged in the design of their experiments, a greater intellectual involvement and a greater willingness to adopt experimental methodologies to solve problems are promoted. The enthusiasm and intellectual growth engendered by these processes results in the production of better students and positively influences their decisions to pursue graduate study and scientific careers.

实验室实验设计的创造性需要获得适当的技术来分析结果。 当学生被赋予设计实验来解释现象的责任时，对先进仪器的需求就更大了。 该项目将GC-MS纳入有机教学实验室。 该仪器增强了分析化学课程中使用的仪器分析能力。 一个GC/MS，和GC与毛细管柱和FID检测器的方法开发，让有机化学学生在他们的实验设计更大的创造力，因为他们调查竞争性反应和平衡环境。 分析化学专业的学生可以获得这一基本仪器的强大的工作知识。 该仪器也可用于本科生的研究。 该项目旨在加强对女科学家的教育，鼓励她们进一步从事科学研究。 如果鼓励学生参与实验设计，就能促进学生更大的智力投入和更大的意愿，采用实验方法来解决问题。 这些过程所产生的热情和智力增长导致更好的学生的产生，并积极影响他们追求研究生学习和科学事业的决定。
