Beheshtian, Cheyenne; Garcia, Vanessa Elena; Zhu-Hui Ng, Tiffany; Alkhatib, Sarah; Quang, Erica; Cho, Kira Jinju; Nguyen, Timothy Duy; Le, Dustin Nguyen; Kadandale, Pavan – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
A large body of literature has established the benefits of undergraduate research experiences via the traditional apprenticeship model. More recently, several studies have shown that many of these benefits can be recapitulated in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) that are more scalable and easier for students to participate…

Campbell, Dean J.; Peterson, Joshua P.; Fitzjarrald, Tamara J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2013
These laboratory experiments are designed to familiarize students with concepts of spectroscopy by using sound waves. Topics covered in these experiments include the structure of nitinol alloys and polymer chain stiffness as a function of structure and temperature. Generally, substances that are stiffer or have higher symmetry at the molecular…
