Peidi Gu; Zui Cheng; Cheng Miaoting; John Poggio; Yan Dong – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Today, the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education and training is widely recognised and accepted. Computer programming courses have become essential in higher education to nurture students' programming, analysis and computational skills, which are vital for success in all STEM fields and areas.…

Wendy Haw; Adam Crawford – Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, 2025
This article illustrates the potential for hackathons to serve as an innovative educational tool in addressing the underrepresentation of minority communities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Using Merced, California--a region recognised for its agricultural economy, socioeconomic disparities, and diverse…

Yifan Li; Anmin Liu; Runming Si; Leyan Liu; Qidong Zhao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The plate and frame filtration experiment is one of the essential experiments performed by undergraduate students during their practical education. While this experiment often relies on the conventional manual recording of data and calculation, there are frequent problems with data collection because capturing transient data of filtrate volume and…

Morales-Vidales, J. Abraham; Salazar, S. Alejandro Sandoval; Jacobo-Fernández, Jimena M.; Tlahuice-Flores, Alfredo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This work covers a three-week program designed to provide undergraduate students with a background in structural chemistry and materials science. Sessions are based on the programming of regular polyhedra and their geometrical relationships by using an object-oriented language (i.e., POV-Ray). Three lectures introduce the basics of programming…

Gianmarc Grazioli; Adam Ingwerson; David Santiago Jr.; Patrick Regan; Heekun Cho – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Computational chemistry instructional activities are often based around students running chemical simulations via a graphical user interface (GUI). GUI-based activities offer many advantages, as they enable students to run chemical simulations with a few mouse clicks. Although these activities are excellent for introducing students to the…

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,…

Engelberger, Felipe; Galaz-Davison, Pablo; Bravo, Graciela; Rivera, Maira; Ramirez-Sarmiento, Cesar A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has swiftly forced a change in learning strategies across educational institutions, from extensively relying on in-person activities toward online teaching. It is particularly difficult to adapt courses that depend on physical equipment to be now carried out remotely. This is the case for bioinformatics, which typically…

De Haan, David O.; Schafer, Julia A.; Gillette, Eleanor I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
There is an increasing need for research chemists and biochemists to have a basic familiarity with computer programming. Adding programming content to already crowded STEM undergraduate curricula, however, can be challenging. When programming content is introduced within the chemistry curriculum, it is most often incorporated into upper division…

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…

Srnec, Matthew N.; Upadhyay, Shiv; Madura, Jeffry D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
In undergraduate physical chemistry, Schrödinger's equation is solved for a variety of cases. In doing so, the energies and wave functions of the system can be interpreted to provide connections with the physical system being studied. Solving this equation by hand for a one-dimensional system is a manageable task, but it becomes time-consuming…

Baosen Zhang; Ariana Frkonja-Kuczin; Zhong-Hui Duan; Aliaksei Boika – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Computer vision (CV) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that trains computers to understand our visual world based on digital images. There are many successful applications of CV including face and hand gesture detection, weather recording, smart farming, and self-driving cars. Recent advances in computer vision with machine learning…

Cahill, Samuel T.; Bergstrom Mann, Patrick E.; Worrall, Andrew F.; Stewart, Malcolm I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a need for social distancing measures in public spaces and will have an important impact on university level teaching going forward. Remote methods to complete laboratory related activities are a potential means of students achieving practical credit while still isolating or social distancing. We outline the…

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…

Sucre-Rosales, Estefanía; Fernández-Terán, Ricardo; Carvajal, David; Echevarría, Lorenzo; Hernández, Florencio E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Herein, we present an experience-based learning approach that uses the COVID-19 pandemics knowledge about virus spread and epidemics to establish an analogy between a simple epidemics model--the SIR model (susceptible--infected--removed), and a second-order autocatalytic reaction with subsequent catalyst deactivation. Our approach provides a…

Solorio, Christian D.; Gire, Elizabeth; Roundy, David – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has made conducting in-person research a health risk for interviewers and participants. Near the start of the pandemic, many universities pivoted to emergency remote teaching where courses were delivered remotely in observance of safety guidelines. The safety guidelines also necessitated that research be done remotely. We…
