The focus of the conference will be: Developments in spectroscopy and innovative strategies for teaching spectroscopy in the undergraduate curriculum.
Spectroscopy is used throughout the undergraduate chemistry curriculum and spectroscopic techniques are undergoing continual innovation. As a result, it is a challenge to decide what topics to teach and when to teach them. This conference will highlight recent developments in spectroscopy and introduce innovative teaching techniques. An additional goal of this conference is to generate discussion about teaching spectroscopy at all levels of the undergraduate curriculum.
