Chemistry (12)With the acquisition of an Agilent UV/VIS spectrophotometer equipped with LabVIEW software, we are introducing chemical kinetics and computer data analysis in our introductory chemistry course and in environmental management technology program. Most of our students in this associate degree program enter the workforce upon graduation and become involved in environmental testing and chemical analyses in a laboratory setting. Our goal is to better prepare students to meet these challenges by adapting and implementing computer-aided laboratory experiments into our curriculum. These experiments allow students to integrate and reinforce chemical concepts learned in the classroom with real-life experiences. Kinetics is a difficult concept for students to grasp and often requires exploring the topic through various modalities. We are using our UV/VIS to do kinetics experiments in which the students visually track changes in chemical reactions in real time.

化学（12）随着安捷伦的紫外/可见分光光度计配备LabVIEW软件，我们在化学入门课程和环境管理技术项目中引入了化学动力学和计算机数据分析。我们的大多数副学士学位课程的学生在毕业后进入劳动力市场，并参与实验室环境测试和化学分析。我们的目标是通过在我们的课程中采用和实施计算机辅助实验室实验，使学生更好地准备迎接这些挑战。这些实验使学生能够将课堂上学到的化学概念与实际经验相结合并加以强化。动力学对学生来说是一个很难掌握的概念，通常需要通过各种方式来探索这个主题。我们正在使用我们的UV/VIS做动力学实验，学生们可以在视觉上实时跟踪化学反应的变化。
