This paper presents the structured integration of a computational chemistry module into the Chemistry “101 Plan” experimental curriculum, aimed at enhancing undergraduate competence in chemical measurement. The module comprises twelve experimental projects, covering molecular systems, periodic structures, and molecular dynamics simulations. A progressive pedagogy is employed, guiding students from fundamental structure optimizations to advanced simulations such as reaction pathway analysis, materials property predictions, and biomolecular interactions. The module fosters interdisciplinary connections with spectroscopy and physical chemistry experiments, promoting theory-practice integration. Overall, this initiative provides a scalable framework to cultivate students’ research proficiency and innovation in computational science within experimental chemistry education.
