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.

该项目的目标是通过购买电子记录和监测设备，为改善卫尔斯理本科生理学实验室做出重大贡献，这些设备将允许纳入基于计算机的数据收集和分析技术。将获得的仪器，当与系内现有的通用微型计算机连接时，将提供现代生理学研究技术的宝贵经验，例如已经开发的13个学生练习和其他尚未准备的练习。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，这些设备将允许卫尔斯理学院的教员增加系本科生进行独立研究的机会，并加强荣誉研究计划。该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职业的妇女的人数，并改善她们的教育经历。该项目在韦尔斯利的影响将立即感受到；也可能获得更广泛的全国影响。
