The students n undergraduate chemistry courses need exposure to modem computer controlled instrumentation in order to be properly trained to enter the work force. Modernization of our undergraduate curriculum is planned concurrent with the implementation of such instrumentation. Experiments not previously possible should become routine for a wide variety of our undergraduate students both chemistry majors, and non-majors. This particular program is targeted toward sophomore, junior senior classes and undergraduate research students. The curriculum will be developed by replacing or upgrading two different t o spectrometers. Funds are requested for the purchase of a ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer to be used in physical and analytical laboratories for data acquisition and processing. This will allow the development of both kinetic and equilibrium experiments not possible currently through the computer interface of this instrument. The modernization of our superconducting nuclear magnetic resonance by replacing the controlling computer and modernization of the software will allow organic chemistry students to acquire spectra themselves or a number of organic experiments. This will also allow remote operation of the instrument and provisions are made so that our smaller sister institutions within the region will be able to carry out their own spectral determinations via the internet. Integration of these instruments into our own undergraduate laboratory curriculum will significant facilitate the modernization of physical and analytical chemistry courses for both chemical engineer and chemistry majors students from the sophomore to he senior level. The development of hands on NMR spectral determination both here and by remote operation at smaller schools unable to afford NMR spectrometers, will significantly enhance organic chemistry for sophomore through senior students at all e schools involved.

本科化学课程的学生需要接触现代计算机控制的仪器，以便得到适当的培训，进入工作队伍。我们的本科课程的现代化计划与这种仪器的实施。以前不可能的实验应该成为各种各样的本科生化学专业和非专业的常规。这个特殊的计划是针对大二，大三，大四班和本科研究生。 课程将通过更换或升级两个不同的光谱仪来开发。请求提供资金，用于购买一台紫外-可见分光光度计，供物理和分析实验室用于数据采集和处理。这将允许开发目前通过该仪器的计算机接口不可能进行的动力学和平衡实验。通过取代控制计算机和软件的现代化，我们的超导核磁共振的现代化将允许有机化学学生自己或一些有机实验获得光谱。这也将允许仪器的远程操作，并做出规定，使我们在该地区的较小的姐妹机构能够通过互联网进行自己的光谱测定。 将这些仪器整合到我们自己的本科实验课程中，将大大促进化学工程和化学专业学生从大二到大四的物理和分析化学课程的现代化。在这里和在负担不起NMR光谱仪的较小学校通过远程操作进行NMR光谱测定的开发，将显着提高所有相关学校的大二到大四学生的有机化学。
