Computerized Data Acquisition and Analysis for the Undergraduate Physiology Laboratory

该项目的目标是为以下方面作出重大贡献： 改善韦尔斯利的本科生生理学实验室， 购置电子记录和监测设备， 允许纳入基于计算机的数据收集和分析 技术. 当与之对接时， 该部现有的通用微型计算机， 将为现代生理学研究提供宝贵的经验 技术，例如由十三个已经开发的学生 演习和其他有待准备的活动。 成功的实验练习将被收集到一本手册中， 传播到其他机构。 此外，该设备将 允许韦尔斯利教师增加独立学习的机会， 研究的本科生在部门，并加强 荣誉研究计划 该项目最终旨在增加 妇女的数量和改善她们的教育经历， 生物医学和相关生命科学专业人员的职业生涯。 该项目对韦尔斯利的影响将立即感受到， 也可能产生全国性的影响。

The objective of this project is to make a significant contribution to improving Wellesley's undergraduate Physiology laboratory through the acquisition of electronic recording and monitoring equipment that will allow the incorporation of computer-based data collection and analysis techniques. The instruments to be acquired, when interfaced with general purpose microcomputers currently available in the department, will provide invaluable experience with modern physiological research techniques, as exemplified by thirteen already-developed student exercises and by others yet to be prepared. Successful laboratory exercises will be collected into a manual for dissemination to other institutions. In addition, the equipment will allow the Wellesley faculty to increase opportunities for independent research by undergraduate students in the department, and to enhance the honors research program. This project ultimately is aimed at increasing the number and improving the educational experience of women who choose careers as professionals in the biomedical and allied life sciences. The project's impact at Wellesley will be felt at once; a broader national impact also may be gained.
