Introducing Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

化学（12）使用气相色谱仪/质谱仪（GC/MS）进行本科教学和研究，并修改在各种期刊上发表的实验，允许在入门和高级本科化学课程中广泛使用复杂的仪器。该项目是课程现代化总体计划的一部分，其目标是为学生提供更多使用现代仪器的实践经验，并纳入更多的实验室练习，使学生更充分地参与科学过程和科学概念的探索。GC/MS被整合到一个新的荣誉新生化学序列，到大学生水平的有机和分析化学课程，并进入上师物理化学，仪器分析和有机光谱学课程。GC/MS为基础的实验室练习，从标准的文献正在调整使用的目标课程，和新的实验室模块正在开发中，包括一个新的合作练习学生注册在两个不同的课程。在拟议的教学应用程序的一个中心主题是开放式的，基于发现的实验室纳入。GC/MS还广泛用于教师指导的本科生研究项目，特别是在有机化学领域。

Chemistry (12)Use of a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) for undergraduate instruction and research and adaptation of experiments published in various journals allow widespread use of sophisticated instrumentation in introductory and advanced level undergraduate chemistry courses. The project is one part of an overall curriculum modernization plan the goal of which is to provide students with more hands-on experience using modern instrumentation and to incorporate additional laboratory exercises that more fully engage students in the scientific process and exploration of scientific concepts. GC/MS is being integrated into a new honors freshman chemistry sequence, into sophomore-level organic and analytical chemistry courses, and into upper-division physical chemistry, instrumental analysis, and organic spectroscopy courses. GC/MS based laboratory exercises from standard literature are being adapted for use in target courses, and new laboratory modules are being developed, including a novel collaborative exercise between students enrolled in two different courses. A central theme in the proposed instructional applications is the incorporation of open-ended, discovery-based labs. The GC/MS also receives widespread use in faculty directed undergraduate research projects, particularly in the area of organic chemistry.
