Laboratory Focus on Computer-Assisted Experimentation for Women Science Majors

该项目扩展了计算机接口，即，计算机 控制外部设备，以本科妇女科学 少校 逻辑构建块方法用于 基础课程，计算机辅助实验，其中 学生获得基于微处理器系统的经验， 带有数字和模拟I/O板及通信的计算机 系统. 这些课程将包括机器人技术的介绍， 远程监控 在基础课程中获得的专业知识应用于 自动化的数据采集和数据处理在许多 在高级实验室项目中进行实验。 妇女 特别是学生，需要真正实现自动化， 为了在今天的世界中充满信心，创造力和生产力， 研究实验室 购置多套设备和软件 让许多学生能够亲身体验 在基础课程和应用程序的经验， 整个实验室计划。 该机构为该项目提供了相当于 NSF基金

This project extended computer interfacing, i.e., computer control over external devices, to undergraduate women science majors. A logical building block approach is used in the fundamental course, Computer-Assisted Experimentation, wherein student gain experience with microcontroller-based systems, AST computer with digital and analog I/O boards, and communications systems. These will include an introduction to robotics and remote monitoring. The expertise gained in the fundamental course is applied in the automation of data acquisition and data treatment in many experiments in the upper-level laboratory program. Women students, in particular, need to actually carry out automation in order to be confident, creative and productive in today's research labs. The acquisition of multiple sets of equipment and software permitted a number of students to gain crucial hands-on experience in both the fundament course and the applications in the overall lab program. The institution contributed to this project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.
