FTNMR in the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

虽然核磁共振（NMR）被广泛用于化学研究的目的，从结构测定到动态过程的测量，但由于初始成本高以及制冷剂和维护的持续费用，学生在本科阶段使用此类仪器的机会往往有限。在这个项目中，NMR被用于整个化学课程，从普通化学的第一学期开始，进行简单的测量，并在高级化学实验室课程中进行更复杂的实验，在本科研究中，并与当地工业合作。此外，教师和学生在有机化学班在柯克伍德社区学院和山。附近的两所没有NMR的机构Mercy College也在使用该仪器。来自当地高中的大学先修课程（AP）化学班的学生正在获得该仪器的实践经验，作为与AP化学老师合作开发的现代结构测定方法单元的一部分。如果成功，这种合作将扩大到AP化学类在其他当地高中。这一仪器的收购是加强教学和研究，提供额外的教学资源，以其他地方学院，并提供机会，加强教师在地方学院和中学科学教育工作者之间的互动。

While nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is widely used in chemical research for purposes ranging from structural determination to measurements of dynamic processes, student access to such instruments at the undergraduate level is often limited due to high initial costs and ongoing expenses for cryogen and maintenance. In this project, the NMR is being used throughout the chemistry curriculum beginning in the first semester of general chemistry with simple measurements and progressing to more sophisticated experiments in the Advanced Chemistry Laboratory course, in undergraduate research, and in collaborations with local industry. Furthermore, faculty and students in organic chemistry classes at Kirkwood Community College and Mt. Mercy College, two nearby institutions that do not have NMRs, also are using the instrument. Students in an Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry class from a local high school are gaining hands-on experience with the instrument as part of a unit on modern methods of structural determination which are being developed in collaboration with the AP Chemistry teacher. If successful, this collaboration will be expanded to AP Chemistry classes at other local high schools. Acquisition of this instrument is enhancing teaching and research, providing additional teaching resources to other local colleges, and providing opportunities for enhanced interaction between faculty at local colleges and secondary science educators.
