Ultraviolet and Visible Spectroscopy in the Chemistry and Biology Undergraduate Curricula

化学(12)生物科学(61)这个项目的主要目标是通过引入一门新的蛋白质化学课程，加强学生在紫外线和可见光光谱学方面的实验室经验，并在化学、生物和分子科学课程中扩大涉及紫外线/可见光光谱学的实验室经验。此外，我们正在通过现有的外展计划，向雪松拉皮兹更广泛的教育社区提供紫外线/可见光光谱的机会。我们的这些变化是基于增加了8个单波长UV/可见光分光计和3个扫描UV/可见光仪器。学生有机会使用更复杂的技术，包括更多基于研究的实验室经验，这些经验从入门实验室开始，一直持续到高级课程。新的蛋白质化学课程是根据内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校约翰·马克威尔开发的课程改编的，而其他课程的变化包括改编研究或教育文献中的一系列实验。

Chemistry (12) Biological Sciences (61) The primary objectives for this project are to enhance the laboratory experience of students in ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy with the introduction of a new protein chemistry course, and to expand the laboratory experiences involving UV/visible spectroscopy in chemistry, biology, and molecular science courses. In addition, we are providing access of UV/visible spectroscopy to the wider educational community in Cedar Rapids through existing outreach programs. We are basing these changes on the addition of eight, single wavelength UV/visible spectrophotometers and three scanning UV/visible instruments. Students have the opportunity to use more sophisticated techniques with the inclusion of more research based laboratory experiences that begin in introductory laboratories and continue through advanced courses. The new protein chemistry course in being adapted from one developed by John Markwell at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, while changes in the other courses include the adaptation of a wide range of experiments from the research or educational literature.
