Project-based labs have been developed for our instrumental analysis course and used successfully to enhance learning, critical-thinking, and laboratory skills. Students have used a variety of synthetic techniques to generate nanomaterials and organic products which were characterized by a variety of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. These projects were integrated into the instrumental analysis lab course and offer a meaningful way to reinforce laboratory and synthetic skills with a variety of instrumental techniques. A description of these project-based labs will be presented.
