This project is a response to recent national mandates for improvements in undergraduate science education with innovations in teaching and laboratory experiences for students. The goals of this project are to integrate modern instrumental and computer methods throughout the chemistry curriculum in order to receive ACS accreditation for our program. An older EM360 NMR is being upgraded to a Fourier transform (FT) instrument with C-13 capabilities. Experience with this instrument is better preparing students to enter the workplace or to go on to graduate school. Students are using the instrument in organic laboratory as a routine method of structure determination as well as an analytical tool to help them solve assigned chemical puzzles. In advanced laboratories they are investigating chemical kinetics and doing more complex analyses using methods such as 2-dimensional NMR. Finally they are using the FT-NMR as a tool in their research. Thus, the instrument should provide motivation for students and better prepare them for careers in chemistry or related fields. *

该项目是对最近国家关于通过创新教学和为学生提供实验室经验来改善本科科学教育的要求的回应。这个项目的目标是在整个化学课程中整合现代仪器和计算机方法，以便为我们的项目获得ACS认证。较旧的EM360核磁共振正在升级为具有C-13功能的傅立叶变换(FT)仪器。使用这种乐器的经验有助于学生更好地为进入工作场所或继续研究生院做准备。学生在有机实验室中使用该仪器作为确定结构的常规方法，以及帮助他们解决指定的化学难题的分析工具。在先进的实验室中，他们正在研究化学动力学，并使用二维核磁共振等方法进行更复杂的分析。最后，他们将FT-核磁共振用作他们研究的工具。因此，该仪器应该为学生提供动力，并为他们在化学或相关领域的职业生涯做好更好的准备。*
