Offers suggestions and strategies related to integrating an instrumental approach in high school chemistry. Indicates that the problem-solving process is often clarified using the approach, that the approach improves the quality of the laboratory program, and that it is an effective technique for arousing student interest. (JN)

Describes an undergraduate analytical chemistry course that utilizes instrument modules, which show how the key parts of an instrument fit together and contribute to the overall operation of the instrument. (MLH)

Describes a course designed to provide college juniors and seniors with maximum theoretical and practical exposure to every available analytical instrument. (GS)

Reports results of a survey of college professors (N=146) on the present use of chemical instrumentation in undergraduate chemistry curricula of four-year colleges and universities in the United States. Uses in general, organic, analytical, physical, integrated, and research chemistry courses are noted. (JM)
