Chemistry (12)Intellectual Merit: This project is incorporating modern instrumentation into the educational program of students at Columbus State University (CSU) and Chattahoochee Valley Community College (CVCC). Laboratory sections of chemistry courses are being redesigned to include discovery-based instructional modules that use spectroscopic and computational techniques. Successful laboratory experiments and methods are being adapted and implemented; these experiments have been endorsed by the NSF New Traditions Chemistry Initiative, centered at the University of Wisconsin, and others have been published in the educational chemical literature, primarily the Journal of Chemical Education. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the centerpiece of this discovery-based approach, with students given exposure to NMR theory and applications in their first course. At CVCC new experiments also are being incorporated into a biology laboratory course. At CSU faculty build increasingly more detailed uses of NMR to explain basic chemical principles in advanced courses, including organic, inorganic, analytical, biochemistry, physical chemistry, and research courses. Students synthesize these experiences in a research course, using a molecular modeling program. The 90 MHz NMR serves as a workhorse instrument for general, organic, analytical, inorganic, and physical chemistry laboratory courses. A community of STEM scholars form a peer advisory panel that is developing and evaluating the impact of discovery-based instruction on students' understanding of the chemical principles. The project has been designed to promote at both CSU and CVCC the development of skills in the areas of critical thinking, problem-solving, knowledge management, and assessment of performance. Broader Impacts: Columbus State University is located about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta. The student body is predominantly female (60%). The integration of modern techniques into STEM education is giving the students the preparation necessary to be successful in scientific careers in academia, industry, and government. At least 589 CSU undergraduates (science majors) are expected to participate in the proposed project per year, while faculty and students from CVCC benefit from their revised curriculum. CSU's outreach mission continues to strengthen ongoing collaborations with Auburn University (AL), Cott Beverages Inc. (GA), National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (FL), and two Historically Black Colleges and Universities (i.e., Clark Atlanta University and Southern University A&M College, LA). Other broader impacts of the proposed project include: 1) improvement of the educational and technical quality of laboratory and research experiences for STEM students and educators in the community served by CSU and CVCC; 2) exposing STEM students to spectroscopic and computational technologies; and 3) enhancing research opportunities for CSU's faculty and students. The results from the project will be disseminated locally and to the broader chemical education community through presentations at ACS meetings, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and posting at CSU's website.

化学（12）智力优势：该项目将现代仪器纳入哥伦布州立大学（CSU）和查特胡奇谷社区学院（CVCC）学生的教育计划。 化学课程的实验室部分正在重新设计，以包括使用光谱和计算技术的基于发现的教学模块。成功的实验室实验和方法正在调整和实施;这些实验已被美国国家科学基金会的新概念化学倡议，集中在威斯康星州的大学，和其他已发表在教育化学文献，主要是化学教育杂志。核磁共振（NMR）光谱学是这种基于发现的方法的核心，学生在第一门课程中接触NMR理论和应用。在CVCC，新的实验也被纳入生物实验室课程。 在CSU，教师们越来越详细地使用NMR来解释高级课程中的基本化学原理，包括有机，无机，分析，生物化学，物理化学和研究课程。学生在研究课程中使用分子建模程序综合这些经验。90 MHz NMR作为一般，有机，分析，无机和物理化学实验室课程的主力仪器。STEM学者组成了一个同行咨询小组，正在开发和评估基于发现的教学对学生理解化学原理的影响。该项目旨在促进CSU和CVCC在批判性思维，解决问题，知识管理和绩效评估领域的技能发展。更广泛的影响：哥伦布州立大学位于亚特兰大西南约100英里处。学生主要是女性（60%）。 将现代技术融入STEM教育，为学生在学术界，工业界和政府的科学事业中取得成功所必需的准备。预计每年至少有589名CSU本科生（科学专业）将参加拟议的项目，而CVCC的教师和学生将从修订后的课程中受益。科罗拉多州立大学的外联使命继续加强与奥本大学（AL），科特贝瑟公司正在进行的合作。(GA)，国家高磁场实验室（FL），和两个历史上的黑人学院和大学（即，克拉克亚特兰大大学和南方大学A M学院，洛杉矶）。&拟议项目的其他更广泛的影响包括：1）提高CSU和CVCC服务的社区STEM学生和教育工作者的实验室和研究经验的教育和技术质量; 2）让STEM学生接触光谱和计算技术; 3）为CSU的教师和学生增加研究机会。该项目的结果将通过在ACS会议上的演讲、在同行评审期刊上的出版物以及在CSU的网站上发布，在当地和更广泛的化学教育界传播。
