Curriculum Enhancement: The Integration of FT-NMR Spectroscopy Across Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

化学（12）该项目的目标是将FT-NMR光谱学整合到圣文森特学院的化学课程中，从普通化学开始，最终为高年级化学本科生提供顶峰研究体验。 该项目的目标是提高学生的学习和解决问题的能力，并准备学生从高级研究经验中受益。为了实现我们的目标，我们正在调整一些迷你项目和/或基于项目的实验从化学编辑杂志和其他资源在我们整个化学课程。普通化学专业的学生使用H-NMR结合CAChe分子建模来研究单，二和三取代的卤代甲烷，这是对化学教育杂志上发表的实验的改编。NMR实验的复杂性随着学生从普通化学到高级水平而增加，其中引入了先进的1-D和2-D技术。我们选择了Anasazi EFT-NMR升级我们的项目，因为学生可以获得一维和二维光谱相当容易。该项目每年影响大约100个STEM专业，包括化学专业和教师准备学生。我们希望基于项目的实验室将提高学生的学习，培养批判性思维，并为学生的高级研究经验做好准备。我们打算通过ACS会议和会议向化学教育界传播我们项目的结果，并向化学教育杂志提交文章。

Chemistry (12) The goal of this project is to integrate FT-NMR spectroscopy into the chemistry curriculum at Saint Vincent College beginning with General Chemistry and culminating in a capstone research experience for the senior chemistry undergraduate students. The project's objectives are to enhance student learning and problem solving skills and to prepare students to benefit from the senior research experiences. To achieve our goal, we are adapting a number of mini-projects and/or project-based experiments from the Journal of Chemical Ed. and from other resources across our entire chemistry curriculum. Students in General Chemistry use H-NMR in conjunction with CAChe molecular modeling to study mono-, di-, and tri-substituted halomethanes, which is an adaptation of the experiment published in the Journal of Chemical Education. The complexity of the NMR experiments increases as students proceed from the general chemistry to the senior level in which advanced 1-D and 2-D techniques are introduced. We have chosen the Anasazi EFT-NMR upgrade for our project because students can obtain both one- and two-dimensional spectra rather easily. The project impacts approximately 100 STEM majors annually, including chemistry majors and teacher preparation students. It is our hope that the project-based laboratories will enhance student learning, foster critical thinking, and prepare students for their senior research experience. We intend to disseminate the results from our project to the chemical education community through ACS conferences and meetings and submitting articles to the Journal Of Chemical Education.
