The Impact of Changes in ACS Guidelines
The department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Colorado College will be hosting a two-day conference on the impact of recent changes in the American Chemical Society guidelines on the chemistry curricula on our campuses. We invited teams of two or more faculty from each campuses chemistry department to attend this meeting. Discusisons will involve the changes in courses and conceptions of the chemistry major at various liberal arts colleges and universities that are a part of the MCMS. Members of the ACS-CPT committee have been invited to participate in discussions on interpretations of the proposed guidelines. The meeting will involve review of current requirements for students graduating in Chemistry and how these will change under the new rubric that will be published in the Spring 2008.
