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

化学(12)这个项目的目标是将FT-核磁共振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技能，并为学生从高级研究经验中受益做好准备。为了实现我们的目标，我们正在改编《化学教育杂志》中的一些微型项目和/或基于项目的实验。以及我们整个化学课程中的其他资源。普通化学专业的学生使用H-核磁共振结合CACHE分子建模来研究一、二和三取代的卤代甲烷，这是对发表在《化学教育杂志》上的实验的改编。核磁共振实验的复杂性随着学生从普通化学发展到引入先进的一维和二维技术的高级水平而增加。我们选择Anasazi EFT-NMR升级为我们的项目，因为学生可以相当容易地获得一维和二维光谱。该项目每年影响大约100名STEM专业的学生，包括化学专业的学生和师范生。我们希望以项目为基础的实验室将促进学生的学习，培养批判性思维，并为学生的高级研究经验做好准备。我们打算通过美国化学学会的会议和会议，以及向《化学教育杂志》提交文章，将我们项目的成果传播给化学教育界。

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.
