Regional Enhancement of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Instruction in Eastern Kentucky Undergraduate Education

化学(12)傅立叶变换核磁共振(FT-核磁共振)理论及其应用的有效指导取决于现代和可靠仪器的可用性。该项目的目标是通过多方面的实践经验，提高对东肯塔基州本科生和社区学院当前FT-核磁共振应用和理论的理解和掌握。在获得Anasazi升级的核磁共振之后，学生们正在操作FT-核磁共振仪器，并在单独和集体实验中解释数据。学生们正在学习将他们的FT-核磁共振知识应用于各种标准和先进的FT-核磁共振技术。东肯塔基州梅斯维尔和普雷斯顿斯堡社区学院的学生通过接待过去无法常规接触核磁共振仪器的学生的访问/实验，提高了FT-核磁共振教育的水平。这些学生参与了与莫尔黑德州立大学现有学生的小组实验。从一年级到四年级的学生的教育都受到了新仪器的影响，在理科和非理科专业的有机化学课程、无机化学、分析化学以及包括自主研究在内的高级课程中都使用了这种仪器。实验改编自教育文献和研究文献。

Chemistry (12)The effective instruction of Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FT-NMR) theory and its applications is dependent upon the availability of modern and reliable instrumentation. The goal of this project is to enhance the understanding and mastery of current FT-NMR applications and theory at the undergraduate and community college level in Eastern Kentucky through multiple hands-on experiences. Following the acquisition of an Anasazi-upgraded NMR, students are operating the FT-NMR instrument as well as interpreting the data individually and in group experiments. The students are learning to apply their knowledge of FT-NMR to a variety of standard and advanced FT-NMR techniques. The level of FT-NMR education is being increased for students at Maysville and Prestonsburg Community Colleges in Eastern Kentucky by hosting visits/experiments by those students who in the past did not have routine access to NMR instrumentation. These students are involved in group experiments with current Morehead State University students. Students' education at all levels, freshman to senior, is being impacted by the new instrumentation, with use of the instrument in organic chemistry courses for both science majors and nonscience majors, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and advanced courses including independent research. Experiments are being adapted from both the educational literature and the research literature.
