The purpose of this project is to introduce Fourier transform infrared          spectroscopy (FT-IR) into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum.  FT-IR        is an advanced technique used widely in industrial and academic chemical        research. FT-IR spectroscopy allows improvements in the quality of              chemistry instruction by providing high resolution spectra and computer-        assisted analysis and presentation of spectral data.  A low-cost FT-IR          spectrometer, capable of providing high-quality spectral data, will be          used in at least four courses spanning three sub-areas of chemistry:            organic, physical, and instrumental analysis.  In addition, this                instrument will be used extensively as an analytic tool in undergraduate        research.  The use of the FT-IR spectrometer will result in direct              experience with FT techniques, and will allow new, pedagogically                superior experiments to be integrated into several laboratory classes.
