Incorporation of FT-IR Applications into Undergraduate Chemistry, Environmental Biology, and Core Courses

化学、生物和核心课程已围绕有机结构表征的中心主题进行整合。分析化学、有机化学和物理化学、环境生物学和核心课程“化学和颜色”的实验，受益于主题的共同讲座和相关实验的发展。这种整合的核心是傅里叶变换红外分光光度计，作为学生研究和教学工具，用于中世纪手稿的颜料分析，环境污染监测和表征，以及分子光谱技术，作为物理，分析和有机化学课程的一部分。受资助者为该项目提供与NSF奖金相等的资金。

The Chemistry, Biology and Core curricula have been integrated around the central theme of organic structure characterization. Experiments in Analytical, Organic and Physical Chemistry, in Environmental Biology and in the Core course, Chemist and Color, benefit from common lectures on the theme and the development of related experiments. Central to this integration is a Fouier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer, used as a a student research and pedagogical tool in pigment analysis of medieval manuscripts, environmental pollution monitoring and characterization, and molecular spectroscopic techniques as part of the courses Physical, Analytic and Organic Chemistry. The grantee provides funds for this project that are an equal match for the NSF award.
