Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Experiments for Students in the Silicon Valley

圣何塞州立大学化学系致力于化学科学的本科教育和研究。 该部门最近的课程发展鼓励了实验室仪器的螺旋式方法的发展。 两个傅里叶变换红外（FTIR）光谱仪已购买的学生在整个课程的课程使用。 学生介绍了傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）在他们的大一早期。 将FTIR实验室实验与有机，物理和仪器分析实验室现有的实验相结合。 一个新的无机化学实验室和一个新的多部门顶点实验室课程提供了额外的实验，使用FTIR来解决实验问题，涵盖了与周围的科学和工业界相关的主题（即，硅谷）。 *

The Department of Chemistry at San Jose State University is strongly committed to undergraduate education and research in the chemical sciences. Recent curricular developments in the department have encouraged the development of a spiral approach to laboratory instrumentation. Two Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers have been purchased for use by students in courses throughout the curriculum. Students are introduced to the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy early in their freshman year. Experiments incorporating FTIR laboratory experiments have been coupled with existing experiments in organic, physical, and instrumental analysis laboratories. A new inorganic chemistry laboratory and a new multidivisional capstone laboratory course provides additional experiments which use the FTIR to solve experimental problems covering topics relevant to the surrounding scientific and industrial communities (i.e., Silicon Valley). *
