Chemistry (12)The project integrates an automatic polarimeter into courses including Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic and Biochemistry for nursing majors, research-oriented General Chemistry laboratory, Chemistry for non-science majors, and undergraduate research. Experiments from standard research and industrial literature are being adapted. The purpose of this integration is three-fold: to promote student awareness of and participation in green chemistry, or the reduction of adverse environmental impact in an economically responsible manner, to facilitate student understanding of stereochemical concepts, and to increase student exposure to modern instrumentation that is used in industrial and academic research laboratories. These purposes complement the goals of an ongoing Institution-Wide Curriculum Reform Project in science. The polarimeter is used in combination with other instruments to characterize optically-active products. The objectives of this project are to train students to eliminate waste proejcts before they form, use water as a reaction medium, switch to biodegradable and non-toxic reagents, replace stoichiometric methods with catalytic alternatives, and understand stereochemistry as a classification scheme. This latter objective falls under the rubric of a campus-wide NSF-supported curriculum reform grant that is already underway and will culminate in the year 2000 with the publication of a laboratory manual of modules suitable for nonscience majors. Over 100 students per year are impacted by this project.

化学（12）该项目将自动旋光仪集成到护理专业的有机化学、生物化学、有机与生物化学、研究型普通化学实验室、非理科专业的化学以及本科生研究等课程中。标准研究和工业文献中的实验正在被改编。 这种整合的目的有三个：促进学生对绿色化学的认识和参与，或以经济负责任的方式减少对环境的不利影响，促进学生对立体化学概念的理解，以及增加学生接触现代仪器的机会用于工业和学术研究实验室。 这些目的补充了正在进行的全机构范围的科学课程改革项目的目标。 旋光计与其他仪器结合使用来表征光学活性产品。 该项目的目标是培训学生在废物形成之前将其消除，使用水作为反应介质，改用可生物降解且无毒的试剂，用催化替代方法取代化学计量方法，并了解立体化学作为一种分类方案。 后一个目标属于 NSF 支持的全校课程改革拨款的范畴，该拨款已经在进行中，并将于 2000 年出版适合非科学专业的模块实验室手册。 每年有超过 100 名学生受到该项目的影响。
