Computer Technology Integrated into Biology Curriculum

这个项目的目标是整合批判性思维 和解决问题的能力纳入生物专业课程 和非专业，增加学生参与独立 研究，并增加大学前妇女的机会， 少数民族学生从事生物科学职业。 这些 通过收购MacIIsi， 安装在生物学导论中的计算机工作站 实验室和计算机设施， 在其他时间访问。 这些计算机将用于 实验室实验数据的交互式分析， 模拟分析实验太昂贵或太 在教学实验室进行危险，因为 独立学习和写作作业。

The goals of this project are to integrate critical thinking and problem solving skills into the biology program for majors and non-majors, increase student participation in independent research, and enhance the access of pre-college women and minority students to careers in the biological sciences. These goals are being supported with the acquisition of MacIIsi computer work stations installed in introductory biology laboratories and in a computer facility that students will have access to at other hours. The computers will be used for interactive analysis of data from laboratory experiments, simulated analyses of experiments that are too expensive or too dangerous to perform in the teaching laboratory, for independent study, and for writing assignments.
