Abstract:
The American Chemical Society has developed professional development competencies to guide the integration of professional skills into chemistry curricula. This study examines how these competencies were demonstrated in an organic chemistry course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) with a unique emphasis on team science. This CURE exhibited each of the five professional development competencies at the highest level, providing a model for how instructors can enhance the professional development impact of their courses. By embedding explicit team science training within a CURE, students gained stronger preparation for collaborative, real-world scientific work than traditional laboratory courses typically provide.

There are standard pieces of glassware that are used in the organic chemistry lab. Beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks are typically used for simple mixing or to hold solvents but they should not be used to measure volume, unless only an approximate volume is needed. Glassware can be divided into the following categories:
