A new chemistry curriculum designed around FT-infrared and UV-visible spectroscopy instrumentation is allowing students to approach the subject in a variety of non-traditional ways. The majority of our graduates enter technician-level positions and need to be familiar with chemical principles as well as the operation of various instruments. They are often responsible for calibration and maintenance. Spectroscopy applications intrigue students in many technology fields, and allow interest in computers or instrument design to drive their understanding of chemistry principles. Since all of our chemistry classes use the same laboratory, it is possible to give students access to instruments beginning with their first chemistry course. With this facility, spectroscopy is being used as a means to introduce chemical principles and to acquaint students with instrument operation and maintenance. The use of current spectroscopy instrumentation also is enhancing discovery-based laboratories used to individualize student understanding of chemical principles and to help apply those principles to specific examples in the student's field of study. Augmenting the chemistry portfolios, prepared for each class, with examples of this sort makes the portfolio assessment tool more powerful for students throughout their careers. *

围绕FT-红外和紫外-可见光谱仪器设计的新化学课程允许学生以各种非传统方式接近该主题。我们的大多数毕业生进入技术人员级别的职位，需要熟悉化学原理以及各种仪器的操作。他们通常负责校准和维护。光谱学的应用吸引了许多技术领域的学生，并允许对计算机或仪器设计的兴趣来推动他们对化学原理的理解。由于我们所有的化学课都使用同一个实验室，因此可以让学生从第一门化学课程开始使用仪器。有了这个设施，光谱学被用作介绍化学原理和使学生熟悉仪器操作和维护的一种手段。目前光谱仪器的使用也增强了以发现为基础的实验室，这些实验室用于个性化学生对化学原理的理解，并帮助将这些原理应用于学生研究领域的具体实例。增加化学投资组合，为每堂课准备，与这种类型的例子，使投资组合评估工具更强大的学生在他们的职业生涯。 *
