Babak Mahjour; Andrew McGrath; Andrew Outlaw; Ruheng Zhao; Charles Zhang; Tim Cernak – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Data science is becoming a mainstay in research. Despite this, very few STEM graduates matriculate with basic formal training in programming. The current lesson plan was developed to introduce undergraduates studying chemistry or biology to chemoinformatics and data science in medicinal chemistry. The objective of this lesson plan is to introduce…

Dragan Zlatkovic´; Miljana Ðordevic´ Zlatkovic´; Niko Radulovic´ – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Herein, we present a program implemented in Python that utilizes a simple complete-search algorithm to determine the geometry of a lanthanide-substrate (LS) complex. The program serves as a practical project in a programming course for chemistry students, specifically aimed at illustrating fundamental concepts such as decision-making, repetition,…

Jones, Oliver A. H.; Stevenson, Paul G.; Hameka, Simone C.; Osborne, Dale A.; Taylor, Patrick D.; Spencer, Michelle J. S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The use of three-dimensional printing in chemistry education has expanded greatly in the past 10 years. The technique has been used to demonstrate a range of concepts including molecular structure, orbitals, and point groups; to produce chemical equipment such as cuvettes and columns; and even to print out mathematical shapes and functions. Here,…

Weiss, Charles J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Scientific computing and computer literacy are increasingly important skills for chemistry students to learn, but despite this need, there is an absence of chemistry-specific texts available for teaching the subject. This article introduces a freely available textbook released under a Creative Commons license for use in an undergraduate scientific…

Yang, Fan; Lai, Veronica; Legard, Kea; Kozdras, Stephanie; Prieto, Paloma L.; Grunert, Shad; Hein, Jason E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Teaching laboratories are designed to educate students on basic theories and techniques through guided laboratory experiments. As advances in automation revolutionize research chemistry laboratories, teaching tools can advance to reflect these changes. In this study, we integrated several programmable instruments, including automated pumps for…

Kim, Sunghwan; Bucholtz, Ehren C.; Briney, Kristin; Cornell, Andrew P.; Cuadros, Jordi; Fulfer, Kristen D.; Gupta, Tanya; Hepler-Smith, Evan; Johnston, Dean H.; Lang, Andrew S. I. D.; Larsen, Delmar; Li, Ye; McEwen, Leah R.; Morsch, Layne A.; Muzyka, Jennifer L.; Belford, Robert E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While cheminformatics skills necessary for dealing with an ever-increasing amount of chemical information are considered important for students pursuing STEM careers in the age of big data, many schools do not offer a cheminformatics course or alternative training opportunities. This paper presents the Cheminformatics Online Chemistry Course…

Matsumoto, Paul S.; Cao, Jiankang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Computational thinking is a component of the Science and Engineering Practices in the Next Generation Science Standards, which were adopted by some states. We describe the activities in a high school chemistry course that may develop students' computational thinking skills by primarily using Excel, a widely available spreadsheet software. These…
