| Abstract Title: |
Making Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Resonate with Students: Integrating NMR into the Undergraduate Science Curriculum |
| Abstract: |
Despite the prevalence of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as an essential research tool across a wide variety of STEM fields, there has historically been an inequality of access to this important piece of laboratory equipment due to its high cost and maintenance requirements. Fortunately, the recent development of inexpensive benchtop NMR spectrometers offers great opportunities for predominantly undergraduate institutions to give their students relevant hands-on learning and research skills with this essential tool in the modern STEM workforce. Through the support of an NSF-IUSE grant, we have established an interdisciplinary and cross-institutional team to develop, assess, and disseminate curricular material that integrates NMR into the undergraduate science curriculum. We are currently developing and testing curricular materials consisting of twenty-five lab modules and associated instructional guides and online resources. In the future, we hope to assess the implementation of these materials and their effectiveness in different institutional environments, with or without direct access to an NMR system. If you or any faculty colleagues may be interested in implementing any of our materials, please scan the QR code on the poster for the contact form! |
