2025-2026 Undergraduate General Catalog

CHEM 2321 Instrument Proficiency for Scientists

Each offering operates like an independent study that focuses on one instrument and enables students to develop a solid foundation in the theoretical aspects and operating principles, develop hands-on operation proficiency, and gain experience interpreting the data. Each course consists of three Projects (Project for a C, B, A), and students choose the level of proficiency desired by completing one, two, or all three Projects. Each Project requires approximately 17 hr of lab work (51 hr to complete all three projects). Currently courses on seven instruments are available, and other instruments will be added as they are acquired.
