Introduction of Modern Fourier Transform Spectroscopy Laboratories into Survey, General, and Biochemistry Classes

化学(12)该合同提供了资金，用于将瓦里安EM-390连续波核磁共振光谱仪升级为现代傅里叶变换(FT核磁共振)仪器，并购买新的傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FTIR)。这些仪器传统上用于高级课程，如有机化学和分析仪器方法。然而，这一奖项允许他们在整个本科课程中使用，包括调查化学、普通化学、生物化学以及传统课程。每门课程中的实验都是根据研究和教育文献改编的，并经过适当修改后，实施到我们的课程中。利用这些仪器进行的实验吸引了学生的兴趣，将尖端技术融入到他们的实验室体验中，并影响了所有学生的学习，无论是专业还是非专业。

Chemistry (12)This award has provided funds to upgrade a Varian EM-390 continuous wave nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer to a modern Fourier transform (FTNMR) instrument and to purchase a new Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). These instruments are traditionally used in upper-level courses such as Organic Chemistry and Instrumental Methods of Analysis. However, this award is allowing their use across the entire undergraduate curriculum, including Survey Chemistry, General Chemistry, and Biochemistry as well as the traditional courses. The experiments in each course are being adapted from the research and educational literature and after appropriate modification, implemented into our courses. The experiments utilizing these instruments are capturing the interest of the students, integrating 'cutting-edge' technology into their laboratory experience, and impacting student learning for all students, major and non-major alike.
