Abstract

Students working in the mentoring environment synthesized compounds and worked with separation and mass analyzer instruments. They learned how to make new compounds by organic synthesis and characterize their compounds by NMR and mass spectrometry. They also had the opportunity to work with other students who were working to apply their new compounds to chemical separations. They applied reactions they had learned in their courses. They learned to solve problems by finding new ways to synthesize or characterize their compounds. They learned to run, fix, and change settings on multifaceted instruments. They learned to trouble-shoot problems to solve instrumental errors. They learned to reduce human error and understand instrument capabilities. They learned to work independently as well as in a team. They learned to schedule their time and take responsibility for their own progress. They also learned to organize and present their findings in group meetings. They learned to understand the background material that concerned their project and discuss it with group members.
