Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Experiments for Students in the Silicon Valley

圣何塞州立大学化学系致力于化学科学的本科教育和研究。该部门最近的课程发展促进了实验室仪器的螺旋式方法的发展。购买了两台傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱仪，供学生在整个课程中使用。学生们在大一的时候就开始学习傅立叶变换红外光谱。结合FTIR实验室实验的实验已经与有机、物理和仪器分析实验室的现有实验相结合。一个新的无机化学实验室和一个新的多部门顶石实验室课程提供了额外的实验，利用FTIR解决与周围科学和工业社区(即硅谷)相关的课题的实验问题。*

The Department of Chemistry at San Jose State University is strongly committed to undergraduate education and research in the chemical sciences. Recent curricular developments in the department have encouraged the development of a spiral approach to laboratory instrumentation. Two Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers have been purchased for use by students in courses throughout the curriculum. Students are introduced to the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy early in their freshman year. Experiments incorporating FTIR laboratory experiments have been coupled with existing experiments in organic, physical, and instrumental analysis laboratories. A new inorganic chemistry laboratory and a new multidivisional capstone laboratory course provides additional experiments which use the FTIR to solve experimental problems covering topics relevant to the surrounding scientific and industrial communities (i.e., Silicon Valley). *
