The aim of the project is to give a complete, better and real learning experience for the undergraduate students in the organic chemistry curriculum by added instrumentation and computer modeling. Recipe approach to organic synthesis will be transformed into a discovery approach by the addition of FT-IR spectrometer, requested through this proposal. The project integrates theory, computer modeling and FT-IR spectroscopy to give the students a collaborative, mini-corporate world experience. Students use FT-IR spectroscopy to follow chemical reactions, identify isomeric mixtures and for structural elucidation of products of chemical reaction. The theory of IR spectroscopy they learn comes alive by their personal handling of the IR spectrometer in the organic laboratory. Students as a team use SIPDE-SPARC approach to design and carry out their own synthesis; they use FT-IR spectroscopy to learn about quality control and product development in collaboration with a local industry. The collaborative, autonomous nature of these projects aided by FT-IR spectrometer and computer modeling gives the students a glimpse of the real professional world and prepares them adequately with all the requites of the cyberspace/virtual reality age.

该项目的目的是通过增加仪器和计算机建模，为本科生在有机化学课程中提供完整、更好和真实的学习体验。通过增加FT-IR光谱仪，有机合成的配方方法将转变为发现方法，这是本提案所要求的。该项目将理论、计算机建模和FT-IR光谱相结合，为学生提供了一种协作的微型企业世界体验。学生使用傅立叶变换红外光谱跟踪化学反应，识别同分异构体混合物，并对化学反应产物进行结构鉴定。他们通过亲自操作有机实验室的红外光谱仪，学习到了红外光谱学的理论。学生以小组形式使用SIPDE-SPARC方法设计和执行自己的合成；他们使用FT-IR光谱与当地行业合作学习质量控制和产品开发。在FT-IR光谱仪和计算机建模的帮助下，这些项目的协作性、自主性让学生们得以一窥真实的职业世界，并为他们做好充分准备，满足网络空间/虚拟现实时代的所有要求。
