A novel laboratory curriculum is presented, developed around some common tasks of a laboratory researcher in chemistry: purification, synthesis, and measurement. The capstone of the sequence is an integrated laboratory, leading to a more independent research experience. Students who have completed this laboratory curriculum appear to perform comparably to previous students who completed a more traditional curriculum, based on their handling of American Chemical Society Exam questions and career placement. Introduction of the new curriculum has coincided with increased numbers of majors as well as increased participation in research, but attributing causation is complicated by the coincidental introduction of a new scholarship program.

化学中的结构，反应性和定量序列的实验室课程

围绕实验室化学研究人员的一些常见任务：纯化，合成和测量，提出了一种新颖的实验室课程。该序列的顶点是一个集成的实验室，从而带来了更加独立的研究经验。根据对美国化学学会考试问题的处理和职业安排，完成本实验室课程的学生与以前完成传统课程的学生相比，表现要相似。新课程的引入与专业数量的增加以及研究的参与相吻合，但是偶然地引入了新的奖学金计划，导致因果关系变得复杂了。
