Molecular Modeling in the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

Abstract
This article discusses curriculum-wide enhancements in chemistry courses at Adams State College that have resulted from incorporation of computer-based molecular modeling experiments. The courses affected include Introductory Chemistry, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. Additionally, students have used molecular modeling for undergraduate research projects. When possible, the modeling experiments are connected to traditional laboratory experiments, to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical aspects of chemistry. Student response to the use of molecular modeling has generally been favorable.
