Integration of FT NMR into the Undergraduate Curriculum: Laboratory Courses and Research Projects

该项目旨在为特伦顿州立学院的本科化学专业（以及生物学专业）提供使用300 MHz FT核磁共振光谱仪的经验。在二年级的有机化学实验室中，我们计划采用一种综合的教学方法，首先介绍简单的核磁共振技术。该仪器也将在需要物理化学作为先决条件的高级选修课程中广泛使用。希望教师在有机化学课程中加入实验核磁共振成分的愿望是很容易理解的，而且这样做的趋势正在增长。核磁共振在无机化学和生物化学领域的本科教育中所起的作用还没有被探索到同样的程度。为这些特殊的课程设计了几个新的实验，这些实验是独一无二的，可能会引起其他学院和大学的兴趣。该仪器也将在我们的本科生研究项目中得到大量使用。新型精密光谱仪带来的兴奋将激励更多的学生参与研究项目，并攻读化学研究生课程。该计划将提供的核磁共振培训将大大提高毕业生在化学工业中立即就业的准备。

9451000 Arvanitis The project is intended to provide Trenton State College's undergraduate chemistry majors (and also biology majors) with experience in using a 300 MHz FT NMR spectrometer. An integrated instructional approach is planned which begins with the introduction of simple NMR techniques in the sophomore level organic chemistry laboratory. The instrument will also receive extensive use in advanced elective courses which require physical chemistry as a prerequisite. The desire for faculty to include an experimental NMR component in organic chemistry courses is readily understood and there is a growing trend to do so. The role that an NMR can play in undergraduate education in the areas of inorganic chemistry and biochemistry has not been explored to the same extent. Several new experiments have been designed for these particular courses that are unique and would be of interest to other colleges and universities. The instrument will also receive a great deal of use in our undergraduate research program. The excitement generated by a new sophisticated spectrometer will inspire more students to become involved in research projects and to pursue graduate studies in chemistry. The NMR training that the program will provide will dramatically improve the preparation of graduates for immediate employment in chemical industries.
