Creating a Research-Rich Chemistry Curriculum with an Integrated, Upper-Level-Undergraduate Laboratory Program
Liz U. Gron, David A. Hales, and M. Warfield Teague
Department of Chemistry, Hendrix College, Conway, AR 72032-4115

Abstract
An integrated program for upper-level chemistry majors has been developed at Hendrix College as a bridge between teaching laboratories and faculty-directed student research experiences. Advanced Techniques in Experimental Chemistry combines the traditional laboratories of Physical Chemistry I and II, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, and Advanced Analytical Chemistry into an integrated, task-oriented, and research-rich experience. The students engage in experiment design, synthesis, characterization, data assessment, and reporting the results. The year-long experience culminates in a six-week practicum known as the Individual Research Initiative.
Supplement
The guidelines for the ATEC Introductory Workshop, the IRI Briefing, and lab handouts for six of the tasks are available.
