This project will enhance five areas of student learning through the use of a computer laboratory. 1. interaction with dynamic models and concepts of biology; 2. problem solving; 3. seeing how complex concepts or experiments operate; 4. generating and analyzing real databases; and 5. quantitative analysis. A computer aided approach will facilitate enhancement of student productivity in these areas. A computer lab will be equipped with 10 Macintosh computers and will be staffed by competent staff. Workshops will familiarize both students and faculty with the hardware and software. Programs are available for about half of the areas to be covered, and new programs will be developed for the others. Integration of the computers into many courses in the curriculum will significantly improve student interaction with biological concepts. The university will provide 50% matching funds.

该项目将通过使用计算机实验室加强学生学习的五个领域。 1. 与生物学动态模型和概念的相互作用； 2.解决问题； 3.了解复杂的概念或实验如何运作； 4. 生成并分析真实数据库； 5.定量分析。 计算机辅助方法将有助于提高学生在这些领域的生产力。 计算机实验室将配备 10 台 Macintosh 计算机，并配备称职的工作人员。 研讨会将使学生和教师熟悉硬件和软件。 大约一半的覆盖领域已有计划，其他领域也将制定新计划。 将计算机集成到课程中的许多课程中将显着改善学生与生物概念的互动。 学校将提供50%的配套资金。
