This project will use workstation-quality computer graphics to aid in the visualization of concepts in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. It focuses on visual presentations and real-time visual manipulations. Examples of subjects include atomic and molecular orbitals, molecular geometry, organic dynamics and structure, docking of drug molecules, proteins, and other biological macromolecules, polymer structure and stereochemistry, and crystal structures and Miller index planes. Certain concepts and visualization programs will be developed for (or adapted for use on) personal computers coupled with videotapes, laser videodiscs, and other media so that the images can be used in chemistry lectures, in student tutorials, and for open-ended inquiry. The project aims to have broad impact on and utility for undergraduate chemistry curricula nationally. This project was funded equally by the Division of Undergraduate Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Education, and the Division of Chemistry.

这个项目将使用工作站质量的计算机图形学来帮助本科生化学课程中的概念可视化。它侧重于视觉演示和实时视觉操作。例如原子和分子轨道、分子几何、有机动力学和结构、药物分子、蛋白质和其他生物大分子的对接、聚合物结构和立体化学、晶体结构和米勒指数平面。某些概念和可视化程序将被开发用于(或改编用于)与录像带、激光视盘和其他媒体相结合的个人计算机，以便图像可以用于化学课堂、学生辅导和开放式探究。该项目旨在对全国本科化学课程产生广泛的影响和作用。该项目由本科生科学、工程和数学教育分部和化学分部平均资助。
