Introduction of Raman Spectroscopy to the Undergraduate Curriculum

化学12该资助用于将拉曼光谱纳入胡德学院化学课程的教学和研究实验室，特别强调物理、分析和生物化学课程。这些资金将用于购买一台拉曼光谱仪，并帮助学生设计和实施实验。这个项目是增加学生的理解拉曼光谱系统地增加实验的复杂性，学生通过他们的入门和主要课程的进展。除了改善胡德学院的教学实验室外，拉曼仪器还增加了学生和教师可用的研究设备。研究一直在胡德进行了多年，而且，随着两个新的，研究活跃的教师的增加，所有化学教师都参与教师指导的学生研究。拟议的文书至少是其中一个研究项目的组成部分。通过将拉曼光谱学融入一门流行的考古学课程，该项目也提高了选择胡德大学非科学专业学生的科学素养和经验。

Chemistry 12This grant is being used to incorporate Raman spectroscopy into teaching and research labs across the Chemistry curriculum at Hood College, with particular emphasis on Physical, Analytical, and Biological Chemistry courses. The funds are being used to purchase a Raman spectrometer and for student assistance in designing and implementing the experiments. This project is increasing the students' understanding of Raman spectroscopy by systematically increasing the complexity of the experiments as the students progress through their introductory and major courses. In addition to improving the teaching laboratories at Hood College, the Raman instrument is also augmenting the research equipment available to both students and faculty. Research has been ongoing at Hood for many years, and, with the addition of two new, research active faculty members, all chemistry faculty are involved in faculty-mentored student research. The proposed instrument is an integral part of at least one of these research projects. By integrating Raman spectroscopy into a popular archaeology course, this project is improving the scientific literacy and experience of students choosing non-science majors at Hood, as well.
