Chemical Society (ACS)guidelines for undergraduate chemistry programs which states that “A functioning NMR (orreliable access to a functioning NMR that students use)” is a critical requirement for approvedprograms [4]. With the increasing availability of affordable benchtop NMR spectrometers, NMRcan be much better utilized to teach valuable laboratory and research skills broadly across theundergraduate curriculum by being incorporated into more courses in chemistry, physics,medicine, and engineering. Integrating NMR into the undergraduate science and engineeringcurriculum would help build the STEM workforce of the future, where a basic understanding ofquantum physics will become a necessity in emerging 21st-century technologies.Project and

Yetdecades of research have demonstrated that transfer of problem-solving strategies rarely happens spontaneously, and ishard to teach [4,13].
