Chemistry is constantly evolving with the integration of new instrumentation, automation, and artificial intelligence. Despite the critical role of electronics and instrumentation in both academia and industry, the teaching of electronics in analytical chemistry has diminished, necessitating a revised curriculum that equips students with these indispensable modern skills.
As part of the “Revive the Electronics in Analytical Chemistry (REACT)” project supported by NSF CAREER, we aim to bridge this gap and get chemistry students the skills and confidence in electronics. In CH381M, students learn new skills (e.g., Arduino, 3D printing) by implementing and innovating based on published DIY instrumentation projects.
