NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE INSTRUMENTATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE CHEMISTRY LABORATORY: Development and Implementation

使用最先进的设备工作的兴奋感是吸引学生从事科学事业的一个非常重要的因素。提供这种兴奋感，从而吸引学生学习科学是这个项目的主要目标。在这个项目之前，我们本科实验室的学生没有接触过核磁共振光谱学。本项目的目标是通过配备流动池探头和样品处理器的现代双通道300 MHz核磁共振光谱仪，为我们的本科生提供光谱仪。新实施的一系列实验使实验课程充满活力。有机化学和无机化学实验室的本科生可以获得所有合成化合物的核磁共振光谱。访问提供物理化学实验室项目和荣誉研究的学生。在收购自己的核磁共振光谱的指导是提供给学生一个新实施的先进的有机化学实验室和荣誉个人研究。该项目的总结性和形成性评估正在与FSU教育服务项目评估和评估协调员协商进行。将这项技术整合到我们的实验室教学中，每年显著提高了约300名学生的科学教育体验，其中21%是少数民族，55%是女性。本项目采用了“综合化学教学与计算：本地和远程学习评估”项目（NSF DUE 9751465）的成果。课程调整和实施的结果计划通过FSU化学系本科课程WWW页面和国家核磁共振和化学教育会议进行传播。

The excitement of working with state-of-the-art equipment is a very important factor in attracting students to scientific careers. Providing that excitement and thereby attracting students to science is the primary goal of this project. Prior to this project, students in our undergraduate laboratories had no access to NMR spectroscopy. The goal of this project is to provide spectrometer to our undergraduate students via a modern two-channel 300 MHz NMR spectrometer with a flow cell probe and sample handler. The laboratory curriculum is invigorated from a newly implemented series of experiments. Undergraduate students in the organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry laboratories have access to NMR spectra of all of their synthesized compounds. Access is provided for physical chemistry laboratory projects and to honors research students. Instruction in the acquisition of their own NMR spectra is provided to students of a newly implemented advanced organic chemistry laboratory and honors individual research. Summative and formative evaluations of this project are being conducted in consultation with the Coordinator of Assessment and Evaluation in the FSU Educational Services Program. The integration of this technology into our laboratory instruction significantly enhances the scientific educational experience of ~300 students each year, 21% of whom are minorities and 55% of whom are women. This project adapts gains from the "Integrated Chemical Instruction and Computation: Local and Distance Learning Evaluation" project (NSF DUE 9751465). The results of this curriculum adaptation and implementation are planned for dissemination via the FSU Department of Chemistry Undergraduate Program WWW page and to national NMR and Chemical Educational conferences.
