Abstract for the conference program
Organic Chemistry is known as one of the “difficult course” in college curriculum. When any abstract theory is introduced, students have the misconception that they will not be able to learn the new material. Conventional teaching techniques can be blended with interactive teaching tools to convey the contents in an engaging manner. The major intention of this project was to utilize a free molecular simulation program such as NetLogo to deliver the “challenging” concepts such as Gas Chromatography in organic chemistry courses. The project was designed to promote “creative thinking” so students will understand and implement the information in advanced courses as well. The on-going study is carried over two semesters and this proposal will focus on the first semester (Fall 2015) results to see the impact of simulation program. The primary audience for this session would be the higher education chemistry students and professors.
