Integration of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

该项目提供了化学系在 托马斯学院傅立叶变换红外光谱仪（FTIR） 光谱仪，提高化学实验教学 (for非理科专业），有机化学，仪器 方法论、物理化学和高级有机化学。 将FTIR方法融入实验室课程 提高学生对（a）基本原理的理解 FTIR，（B）FTIR用于定性和 化学系统的定量分析，（c）如何一个有效的， 灵敏的分析提供了广泛的应用， 科学，以及（d）仪器方法的能力如何 当与微计算机连接时，会得到显著增强。 该机构正在将NSF赠款与等量的 资金

This project provides the chemistry department at the College of St. Thomas with a Fourier Transform Infrred (FTIR) spectrometer that improves laboratory instruction in Chemistry (for non-science majors), Organic Chemistry, Instrumental Methoda, Physical Chemistry, and Advanced Organic Chemistry. Integration of FTIR methods into the laboratory curriculum inhances the student understanding of (a) the fundamentals of FTIR, (b) the utilitazation of FTIR for qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical systems, (c) how a pwerful and sensitive analytical provides a wide range of applications in science, and (d) how the capabilities of an instrumental method are significantly enhanced when interfaced with microcomputer. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
