Consistent with the increasingly instrumental emphasis of laboratories          in chemistry, the project is introducing Fourier-transform infrared             spectroscopy (FT-IR) into the undergraduate curriculum.  Now, widely            used for chemical analysis in academic chemical research, industry,             forensics, and environmental monitoring, FT-IR spectroscopy is                  significantly improving the quality of the chemistry instrumental               practice.  Presently available are new, lower-cost yet high resolution          instruments for FT-IR spectroscopy, appropriately and efficiently               controlled by a micro computer for data collection, analysis, and               presentation.                                                                                                                                                   Incorporation of FT-IR spectroscopy is improving directly three areas           of the undergraduate curriculum:  analytical, organic chemistry, and            instrumental analysis; significant additions to the physical chemistry          laboratory and enhancement of undergraduate research.  The instrument           is the only Fourier-transform spectroscopy instrument and is                    introducing the students directly to the utility of modern computer             assisted time-domain instruments, and is allowing applications through          educationally superior experiments.
