Computerized Data Acquisition and Analysis for the Undergraduate Physiology Laboratory

该项目的目标是通过购买电子记录和监测设备，将计算机数据收集和分析技术结合起来，为改善韦尔斯利大学的本科生生理学实验室做出重大贡献。将购置的仪器与本系现有的通用微型计算机相结合，将提供现代生理研究技术方面的宝贵经验，如已开发的13项学生习题和尚未编写的其他习题所示。成功的实验室练习将被收集成一本手册，分发给其他机构。此外，这些设备将使韦尔斯利学院的教师能够增加该系本科生进行独立研究的机会，并加强荣誉研究项目。这个项目的最终目的是增加选择生物医学和相关生命科学专业人员的妇女人数，并改善她们的教育经历。这个项目对卫尔斯理的影响将立即显现；还可能获得更广泛的全国影响。

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.
