Development of a Spectroscopy Laboratory

围绕ft -红外和uv -可见光谱仪器设计的新化学课程使学生能够以各种非传统的方式学习这门学科。我们的大部分毕业生进入技术员级别的职位，需要熟悉化学原理以及各种仪器的操作。他们通常负责校准和维护。光谱学应用在许多技术领域激发了学生的兴趣，并使他们对计算机或仪器设计感兴趣，从而推动他们对化学原理的理解。由于我们所有的化学课都使用同一个实验室，因此可以让学生从他们的第一堂化学课开始就接触到仪器。有了这个设施，光谱学被用作介绍化学原理的手段，并使学生熟悉仪器的操作和维护。当前光谱仪器的使用也增强了基于发现的实验室，用于个性化学生对化学原理的理解，并帮助将这些原理应用于学生研究领域的具体实例。为每节课准备的化学作品集，加上这样的例子，可以使作品集评估工具在学生的整个职业生涯中更加强大。＊

A new chemistry curriculum designed around FT-infrared and UV-visible spectroscopy instrumentation is allowing students to approach the subject in a variety of non-traditional ways. The majority of our graduates enter technician-level positions and need to be familiar with chemical principles as well as the operation of various instruments. They are often responsible for calibration and maintenance. Spectroscopy applications intrigue students in many technology fields, and allow interest in computers or instrument design to drive their understanding of chemistry principles. Since all of our chemistry classes use the same laboratory, it is possible to give students access to instruments beginning with their first chemistry course. With this facility, spectroscopy is being used as a means to introduce chemical principles and to acquaint students with instrument operation and maintenance. The use of current spectroscopy instrumentation also is enhancing discovery-based laboratories used to individualize student understanding of chemical principles and to help apply those principles to specific examples in the student's field of study. Augmenting the chemistry portfolios, prepared for each class, with examples of this sort makes the portfolio assessment tool more powerful for students throughout their careers. *
