Alabama A&M University seeks to acquire a 90-MHz Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FT-NMR) Spectrometer for the program in Chemistry to develop and enhance undergraduate student research, as well as develop and disseminate NMR modules to enhance chemistry program curricula. The Chemistry program seeks to gain approval from the American Chemical Society - Committee on Professional Training. To gain ACS-CPT approval, university chemistry programs must have a functioning NMR spectrometer that undergraduates use in instruction and research. With this instrumentation, STEM students at Alabama A&M will have hands-on experience with a powerful research instrument and will be better equipped to matriculate to graduate school or to enter the scientific and technological workforce. This project seeks to increase the number of minority Chemistry graduates and thus will be an asset to the surrounding scientific and research communities in Huntsville and northern Alabama. The proposed activity will improve the undergraduate research program, and offer course enhancements and laboratory experiments that previously were not available. These efforts will result in contributions to biodiesel analysis, and the structure and reactivity of ozonized unsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, new teaching paradigms will be developed that can be applied to all academic STEM programs.

阿拉巴马农工大学寻求为化学项目购买一台 90 MHz 傅里叶变换核磁共振 (FT-NMR) 波谱仪，以发展和加强本科生研究，并开发和传播 NMR 模块以增强化学项目课程。化学课程寻求获得美国化学会 - 专业培训委员会的批准。为了获得 ACS-CPT 批准，大学化学课程必须拥有一台功能齐全的核磁共振波谱仪，供本科生在教学和研究中使用。有了这款仪器，阿拉巴马农工大学的 STEM 学生将获得强大研究仪器的实践经验，并为进入研究生院或进入科技队伍做好更好的准备。该项目旨在增加少数族裔化学毕业生的数量，从而成为亨茨维尔和阿拉巴马州北部周边科研社区的一笔财富。拟议的活动将改进本科生研究计划，并提供以前无法提供的课程增强和实验室实验。这些努力将为生物柴油分析以及臭氧化不饱和脂肪酸的结构和反应性做出贡献。此外，还将开发可应用于所有学术 STEM 项目的新教学范式。
