Genesys established an on-campus internship center in Decker Hall in 2016, providing up to six students with year-round employment and learning. Two companies value Anderson University students highly enough to establish permanent, year-round internship centers on campus. Study space is available within the computer science office area which allows students to work in groups on programming projects and to study closely with our faculty. A set of recommended minimum specifications can be found within the computer science major. Students can choose any of the standard operating systems: Windows, MacOS, or Linux. In addition, two departmental computer labs, two on-campus internship facilities, and our departmental server room provide hands-on experience connected with classroom learning.įor sophomore-level courses and higher, students in the computer science department complete most of their assignments on their personal laptops, often connecting to departmental servers to complete their coursework.
HERALD BULLETIN PLUS
Students in the computer science department have direct access to cutting-edge servers with more than 20 physical cores and 256GiB of RAM, plus enterprise level switches, routers, and firewalls, which are connected over a 400Gbps optical interconnect fabric. Left shows a plot of areas where different types of hydrogen produce signals and a spectrum. It gives the number and kinds of hydrogen attached to it. In the medical field, this technique is called MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).Ī 1H NMR gives information about the structure of a molecule. When a sample is pulsed with radiofrequency energy, they effectively line up with the magnetic field then relax giving a signal that is characteristic of their environment.
HERALD BULLETIN UPGRADE
Fourier Transform-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging SpectroscopyĪU has an FT Anasazi upgrade on a 60 MHz EFT NMR with a 1H probe and a 13C probe. Atoms with an odd number of nucleons, like 1H and 13C behave like magnets. Ultraviolet-Visible SpectroscopyĪU has a Cary Model 1E UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. This is a double beam spectrophotometer capable of making concentration measurements, scans and kinetic analysis. It also has a temperature control probe for analysis at conditions other than room temperature in kinetic studies. It can be used in a computer controlled ratio mode as a fluorescence spectrophotometer with measurement modes for fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemiluminescence and bioluminescence. Fluorescence SpectroscopyĪU has a Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer. One of the most sensitive instruments in our lab relies on a molecule’s ability to fluoresce. Students at AU have used these various types of chromatography to perform research analyzing a range compounds from pesticide residues on apples to particulate matter left after fires where arson was suspected. Gas & Liquid ChromatographyĪU has several different types of chromatographs: GC-FID (flame ionization detector), GC-MS (mass spectrometer detector), HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet diode array detector) as well as TLC (thin layer chromatography) and various other column type exchanges. The degree to which it is absorbed corresponds to the amount of metal species present. Light of a specific wavelength for that metal is passed through the sample and is absorbed. The AA 240FS draws a solution up into an atomizing chamber where the droplets are drawn into a flame. Atomic Absorption SpectroscopyĪU has a Varian AA240 Fast Sequential AAS. Most metals and metal ions in samples that can be dissolved in solution are readily analyzed with AA. Students have utilized this equipment on projects involving ancient artifacts, historical texts and identifying lead in toys. These bombarding x-rays cause the object of interest to emit characteristic x-rays that are unique to each element, thus allowing elemental analysis. Sometimes student projects turn into valuable pieces of instrumentation for the department, such our XRF. X-rays are focused on a material of interest. It is used by chemists to identify the presence of functional groups in a molecule. FT-IR spectroscopy can determine the type of bonds present in a molecule by the frequency of energy they absorb. Fourier Transform-Infrared SpectroscopyĪU has a Varian 800 Scimitar™ FT-IR with Pike MIRacle™ single reflection ATR (attenuated total reflectance).Bonds in molecules vibrate at a frequency based on the bond strength and polarity. Opportunities in industry, research and graduate school await the students with understanding and experience in using chemistry instrumentation. Students use research-grade instrumentation at AU to prove the chemical structure of compounds never before synthesized, or identify the heavy metal content in ancient artifacts, historical texts and everyday products.
