Interdisciplinary (99) This project introduces inquiry-based instruction in the training of future scientists through the use of NMR instrumentation and equipment found in research and industry labs to significantly improve students' problem-solving skills. Bates College is one of several colleges that have been very successful using inquiry methods to teach chemistry labs and to provide better understanding of laboratory concept and applications. The success of inquiry methods at these other colleges provides the basis for adapting this method of instruction to organic, inorganic and instrumental laboratories. Student teams work on various projects and solve real-life problems using inquiry-based instruction. This teaching approach provides a deeper understanding of the operation and uses of instrumentation that students need in their future professional careers. The National Science Education Standards recommends this method of teaching and encourages pre-service teachers to use it. All future science teachers are now exposed to this teaching method. Even though the number of science pre-service teacher majors is small, many graduates either have taught or teach sciences at high schools after obtaining their science degrees. The broad impact of this program is the enrichment of the academic and professional development of students who will be future teachers, forensic chemists, and researchers. The project provides students with a broad range of scientific and research skills to improve their academic competitiveness at the undergraduate level and encourages them to pursue science careers. Consequently, the project will promote diversity in the scientific workforce of this country.

（99）本项目通过使用研究实验室和工业实验室的核磁共振仪器和设备，引入以探究为基础的教学，以培养未来的科学家，从而显著提高学生解决问题的能力。贝茨学院是几所非常成功地使用探究式方法教授化学实验的学院之一，并提供了对实验室概念和应用的更好理解。探究式教学方法在其他学院的成功为将这种教学方法应用于有机、无机和仪器实验室提供了基础。学生团队在不同的项目中工作，并使用探究式教学解决现实生活中的问题。这种教学方法使学生更深入地了解仪器的操作和使用，这是他们未来职业生涯所需要的。国家科学教育标准推荐这种教学方法，并鼓励职前教师使用它。所有未来的科学教师现在都接触到了这种教学方法。虽然理科预备教师专业的人数很少，但很多毕业生在获得理科学位后，要么在高中任教，要么在高中任教。该计划的广泛影响是丰富学生的学术和专业发展，他们将成为未来的教师，法医化学家和研究人员。该计划为学生提供广泛的科学和研究技能，以提高他们在本科阶段的学术竞争力，并鼓励他们从事科学事业。因此，该项目将促进该国科学劳动力的多样性。
