Abstract
CHEM210, "Introduction to Chemical Computation", is a 2-unit, sophomore-level course that has replaced the computer programming requirement in the undergraduate chemistry major. Our students engage in exploration activities whereby they learn how to use modern software packages as tools to understand chemistry.

Introducing the Practical Aspects of Computational Chemistry to Undergraduate Chemistry Students
Jason K. PearsonJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (8), 1323Introducing the Practical Aspects of Computational Chemistry to Undergraduate Chemistry Students
Jason K. PearsonJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (8), 1323Educating early undergraduate-level students in theoretical and computational chemistry is difficult for a variety of reasons. Often students are left underexposed to the discipline because of a hesitation to add to an already full course syllabus or ...
