Implementation of Modern Pedagogy, Reactions, Technology, and Techniques into the Synthetic Curriculum

化学（12）课程改革将现代教学法、反应、仪器和实验技术引入有机和无机合成实验室。四种新的经验，包括固体支持的酰胺合成，多组分Diels-Alder反应，一个为期数周的合成项目，以及教师指导的研究，提供了合成培训。这些经验作为四阶段教学方法的一部分，鼓励本科生进行实验选择、设计实验和交流结果，为科学思想和研究提供坚实的基础。这些课程变化影响了智力价值的三个方面：学生综合技能的发展；教师参与教学和研究的发展；以及有机实验室中通信技术的创新应用。课程改革主要有三个更广泛的影响。首先，增加GC/MS/MS用于合成产品的定量和验证，改善了教学和学生研究的仪器。第二，这个项目影响了相当多的妇女。第三，新的研究训练练习正在影响科学课程早期阶段的学生。研究训练练习和新的综合实验广泛适用于其他机构。这些练习将以研究论文的形式提交给更大的社区，并在地方、区域和国家会议上作报告。

Chemistry(12) The curricular changes are introducing a synergistic combination of modern pedagogy, reactions, instrumentation, and experimental techniques into the organic and inorganic synthetic laboratories. Four new experiences, which include a solid-supported amide synthesis, a multi-component Diels-Alder reaction, a multi-week synthesis project, and faculty mentored research, are providing the synthetic training. These experiences, as part of a four phase pedagogical approach, are encouraging undergraduates to make experimental choices, design experiments, and communicate results, in order to provide a strong foundation for scientific thought and research. These curricular changes are affecting three areas of intellectual merit: the development of students' synthetic skills; the development of faculty engagement in pedagogy and research; and the innovative use of communication technology in the organic laboratory. There are three main broader impacts of the curricular change. First, the addition of a GC/MS/MS for quantification and verification of synthetic products is improving the instrumentation available for teaching and student research. Second, this project is impacting a significant number of women. Third, the new research training exercises are impacting students in earlier stages of their science curriculum. The research training exercises and the new synthesis experiments are broadly applicable to other institutions. The exercises will be submitted to the larger community in the form of research papers and presentations at local, regional, and national conferences.
