Abstract
In 2002, the President of the American Chemical Society (ACS) challenged the ACS Society Committee on Education (SOCED) to begin the task of "reinventing" the content of chemistry education at the undergraduate and graduate levels to better prepare students for success as future chemists. SOCED organized an invitational conference, Exploring the Molecular Vision, in response to this challenge. The conference was designed to begin a discussion about the key concepts, factual knowledge, and skills that students need for today's chemistry careers. This report summarizes the key findings and conclusions of the conference. The full report is available on the ACS Web site.
