Integratiing FT-NMR Spectroscopy into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum at Roosevelt University

化学(12)这个项目的主要目标是通过让学生动手使用现代傅立叶变换核磁共振(FT-核磁共振)光谱仪来改进我们的核磁共振光谱学本科课程。随着Anasazi仪器对我们的连续波(CW)光谱仪进行升级，罗斯福大学的化学专业学生可以及早并频繁地使用具有多核功能的FT-核磁共振。附近高中和社区大学的教职员工也会参观校园，并为他们自己的课程和学生提供这种乐器。FT-核磁共振实验正在被整合到本科服务课程中。在普通化学的早期就向学生介绍了13C-核磁共振，导致了核磁共振在有机化学序列中的更详细的应用。包括关联实验和自旋-晶格弛豫测量在内的先进FT-核磁共振技术正被应用于高级课程和本科生的研究。该项目在性别、种族和班级方面影响了许多人数不足的学生，从而使他们更好地为科学就业以及研究生和专业学习做好准备。它还促进了本科院校与附近社区大学和高中之间的教学合作。

Chemistry (12) This project's primary goal is to improve our undergraduate curriculum in NMR spectroscopy by providing students with hands-on use of a modern Fourier-transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FT-NMR) Spectrometer. With the upgrade of our continuous wave (CW) spectrometer by Anasazi Instruments, chemistry students at Roosevelt University have early and frequent access to a FT-NMR with multinuclear capabilities. Faculty at nearby high schools and community colleges also visit the campus and have access to the instrument for their own courses and students. FT-NMR experiments are being integrated into undergraduate service courses. Students are introduced to 13 C-NMR early in general chemistry, leading into more detailed applications of NMR in the organic chemistry sequence. Advanced FT-NMR techniques including correlation experiments and spin-lattice relaxation measurements are being adapted into upper-level courses and undergraduate research. This project impacts many underrepresented students in terms of gender, ethnicity, and class and thereby better prepares them for scientific employment and graduate and professional studies. It also fosters pedagogical collaboration between an undergraduate institution and nearby community colleges and high schools.
