The purpose of this project is to integrate Fourier Transform                   Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry into all levels of an                              undergraduate chemisty curriculum.  Innovative experiments have                 been designed to introduce beginning students to application of                 computer-aided instrumentation and to support the study of                      basic chemical principles and analytical techniques.                            Sophomores will use the FTIR in organic chemistry and will be                   taught instrumentation operation so they can make extensive use                 of the FTIR in upper-division courses and undergraduate                         research.  The laboratory portion of analytical, physical, and                  biochemistry courses will be altered to introduce students to                   modern data collection techniques, on-line spectral                             manipulation, kinetic studies, rotational spectroscopy, GC-IR,                  and analysis of air pollutants.                                                                                                                                 This ILI award, jointly supported by the Chemistry Shared                       Instrumentation Program and the USEME Division of SEE, will                     help the Department of Chemistry at the University of Northern                  Colorado to acquire FTIR instrumentation that will be used to                   enhance undergraduate laboratory instruction in this RUI                        Department.
