Modular approach to instrumental analysis

Abstract

Recent developments in modern instrumentation and analytical techniques have put greater demands on the tradi-

Writing Instrument Profiles for Mastery of Instrumental Analysis

“…These objectives may include establishment of a theoretical background for understanding the main types of instruments; − development of basic competencies in instrument operation, , maintenance, applications, and data interpretation; ,, development of skills in scientific collaboration and communication; − and development of proficiency in learning new instruments as they become available . These objectives may be achieved either through a survey-type of exposure to many instruments throughout a course, , through a problem-based approach involving in-depth applied projects with several types of instruments, ,,− or through a hybrid approach. , Because instrument designs and operating procedures are highly varied and are expected to evolve significantly over the course of a student’s career, a mastery of the skill of learning new instruments efficiently and thoroughly is paramount.…”
