A Series of Workshops in Chemistry

佐治亚州立大学(GSU)和佐治亚理工学院(GIT)共同提出了一个化学本科教师强化项目；参与者的招募将在全国范围内进行。该项目旨在提高主要是两年制和四年制公立和私立机构的教师开发和教授现代化学课程的能力。拟议项目的主要活动是11个为期五天的讲习班和前一年参加者的两次年度聚会。研讨会的主题是(1)先进材料化学，(2)核酸化学，(3)环境化学，(4)质谱学，(5)分子建模，(6)分子轨道理论，(7)多维核磁共振波谱，(8)化学中的多媒体技术。研讨会将主要由GSU和GIT教职员工授课；印第安纳大学、乔治亚大学和加州大学欧文分校的教职员工也将参加。一些以前参加讲习班的人将在这些活动中担任助理。来自其他机构和行业的知名专家将担任主旨演讲人。这些重聚活动的目的是让参与者分享他们在课程中实施项目材料的经验。在两年的时间里，安排了900个参与日。项目所产生的参与机构化学课程的所有创新成果汇编将分发给所有参与者。

Georgia State University (GSU) and the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) jointly propose an Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement project in chemistry; recruitment of participants is to be on a national basis. The project is designed to improve the ability of faculty primarily at two- and four-year, public and private, institutions to develop and teach a modern program in chemistry. The major activities of the proposed project are 11 five-day workshops and two annual reunions of the previous year's participants. Workshop topics are (1) Advanced Materials Chemistry, (2) Chemistry of Nucleic Acids, (3) Environmental Chemistry, (4) Mass Spectrometry, (5) Molecular Modeling, (6) Molecular Orbital Theory, (7) Multidimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, and (8) Multimedia Techniques in Chemistry. The workshops will be taught primarily by GSU and GIT faculty; members of the faculty from Indiana University, the University of Georgia and the University of California at Irvine will also participate. Several former workshop participants will serve as assistants in these activities. Prominent specialists from other institutions and industry will serve as keynote speakers. The reunions are designed to allow participants to share their experiences in implementing project material into their curricula. Over a two-year period, 900 participant-days are scheduled. A compilation of all innovations in the chemistry curriculum at participating institutions resulting from the project will be distributed to all participants.
