Introduction of Modern Fourier Transform Spectroscopy Laboratories into Survey, General, and Biochemistry Classes

化学（12）该奖项提供资金将Varian EM-390连续波核磁共振光谱仪升级为现代傅里叶变换（FTNMR）仪器，并购买新的傅里叶变换红外光谱仪（FTIR）。这些仪器传统上用于高级课程，如有机化学和仪器分析方法。然而，该奖项允许他们在整个本科课程中使用，包括调查化学，普通化学和生物化学以及传统课程。每门课程的实验都是根据研究和教育文献改编的，经过适当的修改后，在我们的课程中实施。利用这些仪器的实验正在捕捉学生的兴趣，将“尖端”技术融入他们的实验室体验，并影响所有学生的学习，无论是主修还是非主修。

Chemistry (12)This award has provided funds to upgrade a Varian EM-390 continuous wave nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer to a modern Fourier transform (FTNMR) instrument and to purchase a new Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). These instruments are traditionally used in upper-level courses such as Organic Chemistry and Instrumental Methods of Analysis. However, this award is allowing their use across the entire undergraduate curriculum, including Survey Chemistry, General Chemistry, and Biochemistry as well as the traditional courses. The experiments in each course are being adapted from the research and educational literature and after appropriate modification, implemented into our courses. The experiments utilizing these instruments are capturing the interest of the students, integrating 'cutting-edge' technology into their laboratory experience, and impacting student learning for all students, major and non-major alike.
