Enhancement of the Community College Chemistry Curricula Using Networked Computers

这个项目的目标是通过使用万维网上的互动练习来加强化学课程。网络计算机的增加补充了最近购买的FT-IR仪器（ILI-IP拨款9551254），FT-NMR仪器（ILI-IP拨款9551330）和GC-MS仪器（ILI-IP拨款9751604），并为化学教育做出了重大贡献。结合互联网上的资源，包括核磁共振光谱、红外光谱、质谱和结晶固体研究的理论和使用教程，通过强化讲座主题、升级现有实验和允许引入新实验来增强我们的课程。学生们还使用Spartan程序进行分子建模，并将其结果与实验室数据进行比较。此外，校园内更多的计算机接入为数据处理创造了更多的机会，从而可以更有效地使用FT-NMR。联网电脑是可联网的个人电脑和mac电脑的混合体。

The goal of this project is to enhance the chemistry curricula through the use of interactive exercises on the World Wide Web. The addition of networked computers complements the recent purchases of an FT-IR instrument (ILI-IP grant 9551254), an FT-NMR instrument (ILI-IP grant 9551330), and a GC-MS instrument (ILI-IP grant 9751604) and is making significant contributions to chemistry education. Incorporating the resources available on the internet, including tutorials on the theory and use of NMR Spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, and the study of Crystalline Solids, is enhancing our curriculum by reinforcing lecture topics, upgrading existing experiments, and allowing the introduction of new experiments. The students also engage in molecular modeling using the Spartan program and compare their results with their laboratory data. Additionally, greater access to computers on campus is allowing for more efficient use of the FT-NMR by creating additional opportunities for processing of data. The networked computers are a mix of network ready PCs and Macs.
