Future work in this area will involve further development of data explorations that can provide challenges to students with varied levels of prior knowledge and experience. In addition, development of supplemental materials, such as tutorials and video lectures, will be considered to encourage students without prior experience in coding and omics data science. Materials that assist students in learning the benefits to exposure to coding and omics data science will also be included in course lectures, along with a list of research labs that students can get involved with on campus. In summary, our efforts are among the first to integrate coding and omics data science into a large enrollment undergraduate chemistry course. Ultimately, we found that the students greatly benefited from these efforts. The wide-reaching benefits included positive changes in conceptual understanding, perception and self image as well as in research involvement.
