Mobile Data Acquisition Chemistry Workstations

化学系将购买七个新的移动数据采集化学工作站，这将极大地提高克拉克大学所有级别的化学本科教育。一个这样的流动化学工作站已经建成，并在的两个课程中进行了充分的测试。该工作站在“化学导论”和“仪器分析”课程中特别有用。每个工作站都包括最先进的电脑化教学设备，能够以从微微秒到数百秒的速度采样、存储、分析和汇总采集的数据。早期引入和全面纳入工作站将扩大理科专业的广度和深度，并进一步激励非理科专业的学生了解当代科学和技术。广泛的速度、用户友好性、移动性和互换每个工作站的能力将允许在所有本科实验室中使用，并促进课堂课程中的演示和软件演示。在课堂上，工作站将演示测量和预测原理的直接比较，例如模拟弱酸平衡与直接离子选择电极测量的动态比较。这些工作站鼓励高度交互的实验程序。在实验室中，移动设备将连接到各种各样的设备，其复杂程度取决于特定的课程或本科生研究项目。

The Department of Chemistry will purchase seven novel mobile data acquisition chemistry workstations which will dramatically enhance all levels of undergraduate education in Chemistry at Clark University. One such mobile chemistry workstation has been built and fully tested in two courses in 1989. The workstation was found to be exceptionally useful in "Introductory Chemistry" and "Instrumental Analysis". Each of the workstations comprises state-of-the-art computerized instructional equipment capable of sampling, storing, analyzing and sumulating data acquired at speeds ranging from pico seconds up to hundreds of seconds. Early introduction and comprehensive incorporation of the workstations will expand the breadth and depth of the science major, and additionally motivate non-science majors towards an understanding of comtemporary science and technology. The wide range of speeds, user friendliness, mobility, and the ability to interchange each of the workstations will allow utility in all of the undergraduate laboratories, and facilitate demonstrations and software presentation in lecture courses. In the classroom, the workstations will demonstrate direct comparison of measured and predicted principles, as exemplified by dynamic comparison of simulated weak acid equilibria with direct ion selective electrode measurements. The workstations encourage highly interactive experimental procedures. In the laboratory, mobile units will be connected to a wide variety of equipment, ranging in complexity depending on the particular course or undergraduate research project.
