AbstractThis proposal is for acquisition of a fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy equipment. The new equipment will offer a significantly better energyresolution and stability for step-scan capabilities. No FTIR facility currentlyexists at the college of engineering. A number of faculty have formed a collaborative teamfor biomaterials research in collaboration with Mayo Clinic researchers. The FTIR system will be thenecessary molecular characterization tool for the collaborative research efforts of the PIs.Acquisition of FTIR capabilities will enhance the educational experience of undergraduate and graduatestudents. PIs also plan to offer a hands-on graduate level course on vibrational spectroscopy for college ofengineering students for which this instrumentation will be used as an important teaching tool. The use ofthe instrument for demonstrative purposes in several courses taught by PIs and as a hands-on learning toolin Vibrational Spectroscopy, Biomaterials, and Fundamentals of Nanotechnology and Nanomaterialscourses will be extremely beneficial for students for introducing novel and cutting edge research into theeducational experience of students. PIs are all committed to seeking, promoting and encouraging femaleand/or minority students and have several undergraduate students participating in research as part of NSFresearch experiences for undergraduates program. In addition, the team is actively working to establish aprogram in Biomedical Engineering at NDSU with full support from central administration. Further, theinstruments will also be available to industries in the region and those associated with the NDSUtechnology park for materials characterization.

摘要本方案是为购置傅里叶变换红外显微光谱分析设备而提出的。新设备将为步进扫描能力提供明显更好的能量分辨率和稳定性。工学院目前还没有FTIR设备。一些教职员工与梅奥诊所的研究人员合作，组成了一个生物材料研究合作团队。FTIR系统将成为PIS合作研究的必要分子表征工具。FTIR能力的获得将提高本科生和研究生的教育体验。PIS还计划为工程学院的学生提供一门关于振动光谱学的实践研究生水平课程，该仪器将被用作重要的教学工具。在PI教授的几门课程中使用该仪器进行演示，并将其作为振动光谱学、生物材料以及纳米技术基础和纳米材料学科的动手学习工具，将对学生将新颖和尖端的研究引入学生的教育体验非常有益。PIS都致力于寻找、促进和鼓励女性和/或少数族裔学生，并有几名本科生参与研究，作为NSF本科生研究体验计划的一部分。此外，该团队正在积极努力，在中央行政部门的全力支持下，在南洋理工大学建立生物医学工程专业。此外，还将向该区域的工业和与南太技术园区有关的工业提供这些仪器，以进行材料表征。
