Use of an FT-NMR Spectrometer to Improve the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

化学(12)这个奖项使我们能够获得傅立叶变换核磁共振光谱仪(FT-核磁共振)，并将其纳入我们整个课程的课程中。该仪器显著增强了学生的实验室体验，将现代技术融入课堂，并扩大了课程范围。根据研究和教育文献改编并纳入我们课程的实验重点是仪器的多核能力、记录二维光谱的能力以及通过线条加宽实验进行定量分析的能力。随着核磁共振被合并到新的光谱学课程中，课程正在发生变化，新的光谱学课程从三门(目前)单独课程的一部分合并而来，这对于开发模块、专题课程和新的综合实验室是必不可少的。所有级别的学生都很容易获得自己的光谱，因此正在获得宝贵的实践经验，使用一种在现代研究和/或质量控制实验室中具有广泛适用性的仪器。

Chemistry (12)This award has allowed the acquisition of a Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer (FT- NMR) and its incorporation into courses across our entire curriculum. This instrument is significantly enhancing student laboratory experiences, incorporating modern technology into the classroom, and expanding course offerings. Experiments adapted from the research and educational literature and implemented into our curriculum are focusing on the multinuclear capabilities of the instrument, the ability to record 2-dimensional spectra, and the ability to do quantitative analysis through line-broadening experiments. Curricular changes are evolving as the NMR is incorporated into a new spectroscopy course, merged from a portion of three (currently ) separate courses, and it is becomes essential for the development of modular, Special Topics courses and new integrated laboratories. Students at all levels are readily obtaining their own spectra and thus are gaining valuable, hands-on experience with an instrument that has wide applicability in a modern research and/or quality control laboratory.
