Incorporation of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry in theUndergraduate Curriculum

该项目将在整个课程中整合气相色谱仪器与质量选择检测(GC/MS)相结合的概念、实践和专门用途。所有级别的化学、生物和准职业专业的学生将看到和/或学习如何利用这种分析工具的力量来识别和量化未知材料。利用GC/MS的鉴定和结构解析能力的新实验将被纳入普通化学、有机学、高级有机和高级无机课程。GC/MS将是环境化学实验室组成部分的重要基石工具，这是一门将于1993年首次开设的新的高级课程。此外，还将加强一项涉及环境科学的拟议中的初中和高中教师教育和推广计划。

This project will integrate across the curriculum the concepts, practice, and specialized uses of gas chromatography instrumentation coupled with mass selective detection (GC/MS). Chemistry, biology, and pre-professional majors at all levels will see and/or learn how to utilize the power of this analysis tool for identification and quantitation of unknown materials. New experiments that take advantage of the identification and structure elucidation capability of GC/MS will be incorporated in General Chemistry, Organic, Advanced Organic, and Advanced Inorganic courses. The GC/MS will be an essential cornerstone instrument for the laboratory component of Environmental Chemistry, a new upper division course that will be offered for the first time in 1993. In addition, a proposed middle- and high-school teacher education and outreach program that involves environmental science will be enhanced.
