Use of FT-IR in the Teaching of Chemistry

为了为他们未来的职业生涯做好准备， 化学专业的学生需要有使用现代计算机的经验 控制仪表。 该项目使用傅立叶 变换红外光谱仪（FT-IR），以升级和扩展 詹姆斯麦迪逊大学的红外光谱学项目， 为学生提供使用现代计算机操作的经验 仪器仪表 该工具大大改善了 无机/有机实验室，有机化学，物理 化学和高分子化学，并提供红外 光谱支持本科课程。 双手- 学生使用这一工具所获得的经验 更好地为他们在研究生院继续学习做好准备，和/或 在工业界的职业生涯。 该机构正在匹配NSF 给予同等数额的资金。

In order to be prepared for their future careers, today's chemistry student needs experience with modern, computer controlled instrumentation. This project uses a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR) to upgrade and expand the program in infrared spectroscopy at James Madison University and provides students with experience using modern computer operated instrumentation. This instrument substantially improves the Inorganic/Organic Laboratory, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Polymer Chemistry and provides infrared spectroscopic support for the undergraduate program. The hands- on experience gained by students from using this instrument better prepare them for continued study in graduate school and/or for careers in industry. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
