Without a functioning nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer, students do not have the opportunity to obtain physical evidence of those compounds that they prepare in the laboratory and are discussed in the lecture. This project introduces modern experimental NMR spectrometry into the curriculum in order to reinforce important concepts. Extensive use of structure determination based on NMR improves student development of scientific reasoning skills. Finally, students gain the skills in operating the NMR first in its basic mode, then in its more advanced applications and techniques. NMR theory and data interpretation are introduced first in Organic Chemistry and follow an organized program throughout the upper-division curriculum. Beginning with very simple explanations and spectra, increasingly more complex NMR methods are then applied to problems in Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, and Advanced Laboratory. Laboratory experiments make use of NMR data to actualize complex concepts presented in the lectures. Hands-on student operation begins after the introductory Organic Chemistry course. Two community colleges are being included in the project, and two annual workshops are being presented in collaboration with their faculty. A range of NMR methods can be introduced to Organic Chemistry students from these colleges. For dissemination of this program, information on NMR spectra and techniques in spectral interpretation can be placed on the World Wide Web using the university's homepage. This complements currently available lecture material and tutorials. The university can also publish and present innovative teaching methods and student research related to the project.

如果没有一个正常工作的核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪，学生没有机会获得他们在实验室制备的化合物的物理证据，并在讲座中讨论。 本计画将现代实验核磁共振光谱法引入课程，以强化重要的概念。广泛使用基于NMR的结构测定提高了学生科学推理能力的发展。最后，学生获得操作NMR的技能，首先在其基本模式，然后在其更先进的应用和技术。 NMR理论和数据解释首先在有机化学中介绍，并在整个高年级课程中遵循有组织的计划。从非常简单的解释和光谱开始，越来越复杂的NMR方法被应用于生物化学，物理化学，仪器分析和高级实验室中的问题。实验室实验利用核磁共振数据来实现讲座中提出的复杂概念。学生动手操作开始后，介绍有机化学课程。 两所社区学院正在参与该项目，并与其教员合作举办两次年度讲习班。一系列的核磁共振方法可以介绍给有机化学的学生从这些院校。 为了传播这一计划，有关NMR光谱和光谱解释技术的信息可以放在万维网上使用大学的主页。这是对现有教材和教程的补充。大学还可以出版和展示与该项目相关的创新教学方法和学生研究。
