Chemistry (12)This project is integrating Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FT-NMR) spectroscopy instrumentation across the chemistry curriculum at the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey (UPR-Cayey). With the help of Anasazi 60 MHz FT-NMR instrument a carefully selected sequence of FT-NMR experiments and research-based projects are being adapted and implemented. . A number of experiments from the Chemical Education literature are being added to the curriculum. The exploratory phase of the project is being implemented over a period of 2 years. By combining well documented strategies such as hands-on use of instrumentation with research-based pedagogy it is expected that the students will go from being passive receivers of information to inquirers. UPR-Cayey educates underrepresented Hispanics students, with more than 60% female science majors. The Chemistry Department enrolls 200 majors and 100 non-majors/year, including science education students. Implementation of research-based and inquiry-based methodologies, using FT-NMR experiences, into the chemistry curriculum will provide a model to other institutions locally and in the United States that serve a similar student body size or demographics. By implementing these changes the Chemistry department hopes to obtain ACS accreditation.

化学（12）该项目将傅里叶变换核磁共振（FT-NMR）光谱仪器整合到波多黎各大学卡伊（UPR-卡伊）的化学课程中。在Anasazi 60 MHz FT-NMR仪器的帮助下，正在调整和实施一系列精心挑选的FT-NMR实验和研究项目。.化学教育文献中的一些实验正在被添加到课程中。该项目的探索阶段为期两年。通过将有据可查的策略（例如实际使用仪器）与基于研究的教学法相结合，预计学生将从被动的信息接收者转变为询问者。UPR Cayey教育代表性不足的西班牙裔学生，超过60%的女性科学专业。 化学系每年招收200名专业和100名非专业学生，包括科学教育学生。 利用FT-NMR经验，在化学课程中实施基于研究和探究的方法，将为当地和美国其他服务于类似学生规模或人口统计数据的机构提供模型。 通过实施这些变化，化学系希望获得ACS认证。
