The undergraduate analytical chemistry curriculum is being enhanced by          incorporating state-of-the-art atomic absorption/flame emission                 instrumentation into the laboratory courses at the lower level for both         majors (quantitative analysis) and non-majors (introduction to                  analytical chemistry).  At the same time, this project is facilitating          instruction of majors in the upper division courses in instrumental             methods and undergraduate research.  The spectrophotometer affords a            number of capabilities not previously available to students in these            courses, for example, flameless atomization, background correction,             data storage, editing and reporting, and software control.  This is             providing a wide variety of student experiences, from fundamental to            complex to emphasize both function and application.
