New laboratory experiences for undergraduates in three Biology courses which have a substantial Physiology component (Human Anatomy and Physiology, Principles of Biology, and The Biological World) are being developed using new equipment acquired through this grant. The project has three major foci: teaching students how to interface computers with laboratory equipment, how to use computers to acquire data, and how to manipulate and analyze data with computer assistance. This equipment makes it possible to consider aspects of cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, and the physiology of reflexes that previously could not be addressed in these courses because the requisite equipment was lacking. Laboratory experiments in other areas also are being upgraded by involving students more directly. Laboratories being improved in this way include the EKG labs; lung physiology labs; exercise physiology labs; and labs in biochemistry and human genetics (where computer simulations are being used extensively). A laboratory manual is being prepared that reflects the hands-on experiences of this P.I. and his students.

三门生物学课程(人体解剖学和生理学、生物学原理和生物世界)的本科生正在使用通过这笔赠款获得的新设备开发新的实验室体验。该项目有三个主要重点：教学生如何将计算机与实验室设备连接起来，如何使用计算机获取数据，以及如何在计算机辅助下处理和分析数据。这种设备可以考虑心血管生理学、呼吸生理学和反射生理学，这些方面以前由于缺乏必要的设备而无法在这些课程中讲解。其他领域的实验室实验也在升级，让学生更直接地参与进来。正在以这种方式改进的实验室包括EKG实验室、肺生理学实验室、运动生理学实验室以及生物化学和人类遗传学实验室(其中计算机模拟正在被广泛使用)。正在编写一份实验室手册，反映这位P.I.和他的学生的实践经验。
