The IR Spectroscopy and Computer Data Analysis in Organic, General, and Introductory Chemistry Laboratories

本项目是在化学教室和实验室中实施红外光谱仪和计算机的应用。活动包括利用红外光谱仪分析学生制备的有机化合物，利用红外增强学生对红外光谱学的认识，利用计算机收集、分析和存储学生获得的红外光谱数据，以及通过使用气相色谱仪和各种化学实验获得的信息。计算机也用于教室模拟。该项目通过引入红外光谱仪和计算机的常规使用，大大提高了有机化学课程的水平。它使学生更好地了解实验室工作和研究的复杂程度，并改进了整个化学课程的教学过程。该机构为该项目提供的资金与美国国家科学基金会的资金相等。

This project is implementing the use of the infrared spectrometer and the computer in both the chemistry classroom and laboratories. Activities include the use of the IR spectrometer to analyze organic compounds prepared by students, the use of the IR to enhance students' understanding of infrared spectroscopy, and the use of the computer to collect, analyze, and store infrared spectra data obtained by the students, as well as information obtained through the use of the gas chromatograph and various chemical experiments. The computer is also used in the classroom for simulations. The project has significantly upgraded the organic chemistry program by introducing routine use of the IR spectrometer and computer. It has allowed students to become better acquainted with the sophistication level of laboratory work and research, and has improved the educational process of the entire chemistry program. The institution contributed to the project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.
