Enhancement of the Undergraduate Curriculum with FT-NMR

化学(12)我们这个项目的目标是提高我们本科教学实验室的教育和技术质量。我们正在将我们的60 MHz连续波核磁共振波谱仪改装成Anasazi傅立叶变换核磁共振波谱仪。智能优点：随着我们将FT-核磁共振波谱技术整合到整个化学课程中，我们的教育目标是通过使用研究型教学法重新设计课程的实验部分，这种教学法已被证明在帮助学生对抗误解和参与高级推理活动方面更有效，从而产生更好的概念理解。我们正在通过改编教育文献中的实验，主要是从《化学教育杂志》中改编实验，将精心挑选的核磁共振实验序列纳入本科化学课程的所有级别。研究？更广泛的影响：FT-核磁共振光谱是现代化学的主要诊断工具，化学毕业生应该在收集和解释核磁共振光谱方面拥有丰富的经验。到四年级结束时，化学专业的学生将体验到广泛的核磁共振应用和技术。结果将通过一个网站、在专业会议上的陈述和在期刊上发表文章来传播。

Chemistry (12) Our objective in this project is to improve both the educational and technical quality of our undergraduate teaching laboratories. We are converting our 60 MHz continuous-wave NMR spectrometer to an Anasazi Fourier transform NMR spectrometer.Intellectual Merit: As we integrate FT-NMR spectroscopy throughout the chemistry curriculum, our educational goal is to re-design the laboratory sections of the courses by using research-based pedagogy that has been shown to be more effective in helping students confront misconceptions and engage in high-level reasoning activities, resulting in a better conceptual understanding. We are incorporating a carefully selected sequence of NMR experiments into all levels of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum by adapting experiments from the educational literature, primarily from the Journal of Chemical Education. RESEARCH?Broader Impacts: FT-NMR spectroscopy is a major diagnostic tool of modern chemistry and chemistry graduates are expected to have had significant experience in collecting and interpreting NMR spectra. By the end of their senior year, chemistry majors will have experienced a broad range NMR applications and techniques. Results will be disseminated through a web site, presentations at professional meetings, and publications in journals.
