Introduction of Computer-Controlled Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) into the Chemistry Curriculum

GC/MS仪器在工业和民用领域的持续普及， 学术研究实验室使其变得越来越重要， 学士学位化学家获得的经验，这种技术作为一个整体 他们本科教育的一部分。 其主要目的是 一个项目是让加州州立大学的化学专业本科生 具有GC/MS仪器的实际操作经验， 解决化学分析、物理分析、 测量，有机和无机合成，定性有机 分析和本科研究项目。该仪器还将 向学生介绍计算机控制和光谱库搜索。 此外，该单位将增加其他化学课程的培训 通过为有机化学学生提供GC/MS分析， 化学入门课程的说明性光谱。

The continuing prevalence of GC/MS instrumentation in industrial and academic research laboratories makes it increasingly important that baccalaureate chemists gain experience in this technique as an integral part of their undergraduate education. A primary objective of this project is to give undergraduate chemistry students at California State University-Hayward hands-on experience with GC/MS instrumentation and its capabilities for solving problems in chemical analysis, physical measurements, organic and inorganic synthesis, qualitative organic analysis, and undergraduate research projects. The instrument will also introduce students to computer control and spectral library searching. Additionally, the unit will augment training in other chemistry courses by providing GC/MS analysis for students of organic chemistry and illustrative spectra for introductory courses in chemistry.
