Computer-based laboratory control centers (each including a Macintosh microcomputer, a high resolution pH meter, controlled-temperature water bath, programmable stirrer/hot plate, spectrophotometer, compound microscope, electronic balance, and centrifuge) are facilitating the development of computer, analytical, statistical, and observational skills for students enrolled in the introductory Principles of Biology course. Competencies are being developed through a series of Biology projects requiring skill in monitoring, data collection, statistical analysis, modeling, and report generation. With this new academic thrust, even lower division students are becoming better prepared to undertake undergraduate laboratory research, to complete major field projects, and eventually to participate successfully in graduate, medical, dental, and other professional programs.

基于计算机的实验室控制中心（每个中心包括一台Macintosh微型计算机、一台高分辨率pH计、控温水浴、可编程搅拌器/热板、分光光度计、复合显微镜、电子天平和离心机）正在促进就读生物学原理入门课程的学生的计算机、分析、统计和观察技能的发展。 通过一系列生物学项目正在培养能力，这些项目需要监测、数据收集、统计分析、建模和报告生成方面的技能。 有了这种新的学术推动力，即使是低年级的学生也能更好地准备开展本科实验室研究，完成主要的实地项目，并最终成功地参加研究生、医学、牙科和其他专业项目。
