As the chemical industry and science graduate programs continually integrate state of the art analytical equipment and techniques into their work force and their research efforts, undergraduate academic institutions need to offer a curriculum that integrates technology into education and gives students the necessary background and preparation to be successful in scientific endeavors.The addition of a high field FT-NMR spectrometer to our existing state of the art equipment, including an FT-IR, an HPLC, a capillary GC and a GC-MS, completes what we believe are the required instrument holdings to achieve our curricular changes. We are reorganizing the way we teach molecular structure in the beginning organic course and, for our majors, we are incorporating our advanced laboratory courses into a new integrated laboratory sequence team-taught by faculty with specialties in Analytical, Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. This project adapts a number of experiments from the Journal of Chemical Education and from the research literature to create the integrated laboratory sequence. The integrated laboratory project most closely models ones at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute and Willamette University. With these pedagogical and curricular changes, we expect to dramatically affect the way our students think and write about chemistry. We also expect to see increased participation by undergraduates in research.

随着化学工业和科学研究生课程不断将最先进的分析设备和技术整合到他们的工作队伍和研究工作中，本科学术机构需要提供一个课程，将技术融入教育，并为学生提供必要的背景和准备，以在科学事业中取得成功。NMR光谱仪到我们现有的最先进的设备，包括FT-IR，HPLC，毛细管GC和GC-MS，完成了我们认为是实现我们的课程变化所需的仪器持有。我们正在重新组织我们在开始有机课程中教授分子结构的方式，对于我们的专业，我们正在将我们的高级实验室课程纳入一个新的综合实验室序列团队，由分析，无机，有机和物理化学专业的教师授课。本项目采用了化学教育杂志和研究文献中的一些实验来创建综合实验室序列。 综合实验室项目最接近的模型在伦斯勒理工学院和威拉米特大学。 随着这些教学和课程的变化，我们希望能极大地影响我们的学生思考和写作化学的方式。 我们还希望看到更多的本科生参与研究。
