Computational Chemistry Teaching Facility at the University of Washington

该项目将使化学系能够获得图形工作站，以加强现有的个人电脑设施，该设施已经过时，不足以教授最新的计算技术。新设施将使独立项目和作业成为可能，这些项目和作业要求学生在现有课程中使用功能强大的图形计算机，并允许建立一门名为“化学计算”的新课程。该系拥有几个活跃且装备精良的理论化学研究小组，涵盖了广泛的计算化学，这将为教学计划提供软件和专业知识。有了这个奖项，化学系将支持一个课程和课程开发项目，该项目由Hanness Jonsson博士牵头，包括华盛顿大学化学系其他四位研究活跃的化学家。该小组将建立一个由若干图形工作站组成的计算设施，供高年级本科生和研究生教学使用。

The project will enable the Department of Chemistry to obtain graphics workstations to enhance an extant PC-facility that has become outdated and inadequate for the teaching of up-to-date computational techniques. The new facility will make it possible to include independent projects and assignments requiring student access to powerful graphics computers in present courses as well as allowing the establishment of a new course entitled "Computations in Chemistry." The Department houses several active and well-equipped theoretical chemistry research groups, covering a broad range of computational chemistry, that will provide software and expertise for the teaching program. %%% With this award the Division of Chemistry will support a course and curriculum development project spearheaded by Dr. Hanness Jonsson and including a group of four other research active chemists in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington. The group will establish a computational facility, consisting of several graphics workstations, to be used for upper division undergraduate and graduate student teaching.
