Implementation of FT-NMR for Undergraduate Majors in Chemistry, Science Education, and the Life Sciences

化学(12)一种老化的核磁共振(核磁共振)仪器正在升级，以允许将核磁共振技术纳入广泛的化学课程。将旧的连续波仪器经济地转换为傅里叶变换仪器，不仅允许学生进行常规访问，还允许学生执行复杂的测量，复制通常仅限于液氦冷却系统的方法。实施从课程序列的第一个学期开始。已经确定了一套学习目标，适用于使用该工具的每门课程的水平，并正在根据各种教育资源调整教学活动，以实现这些目标。虽然最密集的使用将涉及注册有机化学的学生，但正在为化学专业的学生开发一门新的实验室课程，合成与表征，以掌握光谱学的高级主题。该项目的目标人群是生物、生物化学和化学专业的学生，以及准备在高中阶段从事化学或生物教学的学生。另一批受该计划影响的未来教师是那些专注于科学的基础教育教师。因此，这项收购的社会影响将超出对传统学生进行现代化学基本技术培训的范围。

Chemistry (12) An aging nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instrument is being upgraded to permit incorporation of NMR techniques into a wide range of chemistry courses. The economical conversion of an old continuous wave instrument to a Fourier transform instrument allows not only routine access for students, but also allows students to perform sophisticated measurements that replicate methods usually limited to liquid helium cooled systems. Implementation begins with the first semester of the curricular sequence. A set of learning objectives has been identified, appropriate to the level of each course using the instrument, and instructional activities are being adapted from various educational resources to meet these goals. While the most intensive use will involve students enrolled in Organic Chemistry, a new laboratory course, Synthesis and Characterization, is being developed for chemistry majors to master advanced topics in spectroscopy. The target populations for the project are biology, biochemistry andchemistry majors, plus students preparing for teaching careers in chemistry or biology atthe high school level. Another group of future teachers affected by the plan are those inelementary education with a science concentration. The societal impact of thisacquisition will thus extend beyond the training of traditional students in an essentialtechnology of modern chemistry.
