Key Points

  • The central aim is to introduce upper division chemistry majors to computational methods in molecular modeling.
  • Developed a short course focused on computational molecular modeling techniques.
  • Targeted upper division undergraduate chemistry majors.
  • Outlined foundational quantum mechanical methods used in research.
  • Showed potential for course expansion into a full semester elective.
  • Helped students familiarize themselves with computational tools in chemistry.

Abstract

We have developed a short course in computational molecular modeling for upper division undergraduate Chemistry majors. Our hope is to continue to grow this course into a full semester, upper division, undergraduate elective. The goal of the course is to introduce undergraduate Chemistry majors to computational quantum mechanical methods used in molecular modeling research.
