Molecular Characterization and Measurement: Development of the Defining Laboratory Experience for Chemistry Majors

通过这个奖项，化学部支持由德克萨斯农工大学化学系的Donald T.Sawyer博士组织的一次会议。17名与会者将于1994年1月13日至14日在洛杉矶举行会议。他们将对加州理工学院第一年的化学课程进行现场审查，他们将会见惠普和瓦里安的新仪器开发高管，他们将作为一个小组会面，为化学专业的学生定义一门名为“分子表征和测量”的实验室课程。本课程的目标是通过使用不仅在学术实验室实践的方法，也使用在工业和政府实验室使用的方法，从根本上改变化学专业的实验经验。

With this award, the Chemistry Division is supporting a meeting organized by Dr. Donald T. Sawyer of the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University. The seventeen participants will met in Los Angeles from January 13-14, 1994. They will carry out an on-site review of the first-year chemistry course at the California Institute of Technology, they will meet with the new instrument development executives of Hewlett Packard and Varian and they will meet as a group to define a laboratory course for chemistry majors entitled "Molecular Characterization and Measurement". The goal of the course is to make a fundamental change in the laboratory experiences for chemistry majors by using the methodologies practiced not only in academic laboratories, but also those used in industrial and government laboratories.
