Programming and computational science is an increasingly important part of chemistry. This symposium, organized by the Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI), focuses on how programming is taught within the chemistry curriculum at all levels of higher education. Different institutions and departments may include computer programming as part of the chemistry curriculum in many different ways. Some curricula may require a stand-alone programming course, taught by a computer science or computer engineering department, while others may not include any computer programming instruction at all. This symposium focuses on a middle ground: when computer programming is taught by chemists within the existing chemistry curriculum. The symposium will bring together chemical educators from all levels of higher education to discuss how and when they incorporate programming into their curriculum, what challenges they faced in implementing their programming curriculum, how the programming learning objectives are integrated with chemistry learning objectives, and the best practices they have discovered for teaching programming to chemists. A speaker from the Molecular Sciences Software Institute will describe programming and resources for faculty offered by MolSSI and introduce MolSSI’s best practices in software engineering for computational molecular science. We welcome submissions that describe a particular activity that is used to teach programming to your students or those that describe larger curricular innovations at the department or institutional level. Submissions should focus on teaching programming rather than using computational tools in the chemistry curriculum.
