Mass Spectrometry Across the Chemistry and Biochemistry Curriculum

化学（12）本项目旨在将质谱（MS）引入亚利桑那州立大学本科生化学和生物化学课程的各个层次。 该项目的一个主要目标是使用MS作为培养学生“分子思维”的手段。气相色谱/质谱（GC/MS）和基质辅助激光解吸电离-飞行时间（MALDI-TOF）质谱仪的收购使学生能够在课程相关的实验室工作和独立的学生研究中使用质谱进行实验。 一些实验，越来越复杂，正在从目前的科学文献改编为教学目的，在各级课程，包括普通化学，有机化学，仪器分析和生物化学。 该项目的成果评估正在通过各种方法完成，包括对学生，助教和教师的持续评估，以及旨在衡量这些方法如何帮助学生学习关键的质谱和化学概念的退出访谈和测试。

Chemistry (12) This project aims to introduce mass spectrometry (MS) into all levels of the undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry curriculum at Arizona State University. A major objective of the project is to use MS as a means for developing "molecular thinking" in students. Acquisition of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometers are enabling students to perform experiments using mass spectrometry in course-related laboratory work and independent student research. A number of experiments, with increasing complexity, are being adapted from the current scientific literature for instructional purposes at various levels of the curriculum including general chemistry, organic chemistry, instrumental analysis and biochemistry. Assessment of the outcomes of the project is being accomplished through a variety of methods including ongoing evaluation of students, TAs and faculty, as well as exit interviews and tests designed to measure how well the methods help students learn key mass spectrometry and chemistry concepts.
