Chemical Education: Past, Present, and Future
Hi-Res PDF
Abstract
This is a review of chemical education activities, starting in the 19th century with the beginnings of academic chemistry in the United States. The interaction of academic chemistry and the chemical industry as a "training ground" at both the undergraduate and graduate levels permanently shaped the nature of the environment for academic chemistry. That condition still persists today. The paper describes the evolution of the undergraduate and graduate educational experiences under the influence of ACS policies. The growing impact of interactive digital technology on the educational process is developed and a future-oriented scenario is presented.

From Chemical Analysis to Analyzing Chemical Education: An Interview with Joseph J. Lagowski
Liberato CardelliniJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (12), 1308-1316From Chemical Analysis to Analyzing Chemical Education: An Interview with Joseph J. Lagowski
Liberato CardelliniJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (12), 1308-1316This interview provides glimpses of Joseph J. Lagowski and his life from the time he played with a Gilbert chemistry set, to his tenure at The University of Texas at Austin. His initial interest in chemistry was further nurtured and developed thanks to an ...

The Role of Automated Instrumentation in Undergraduate Chemistry
Suzanne BellJournal of Chemical Education2000 77 (12), 1624The Role of Automated Instrumentation in Undergraduate Chemistry
Suzanne BellJournal of Chemical Education2000 77 (12), 1624Automated instruments are ubiquitous in government, research, and industrial laboratories. However, undergraduates are rarely afforded the opportunity to work with such systems. Arguments against the use of complex automated systems in undergraduate ...
