The Department of Sociology, Queens College, The City University of New York will develop an undergraduate laboratory using high speed microcomputers and an ethernet network. The network will be bridged to the Queens College Academic Computer Center Network and from there to NYSERNET, the CUNY University- wide Computer and NSFNET. This laboratory will permit the department to significantly enhance its curriculum at the introductory and advanced level.Three major objectives of the project are: 1) Infusing the content of lower level methods and statistics courses with 'hands-on' laboratory exercises, thus upgrading the quantitative and scientific reasoning skills of students, especially those who major in sociology. Many of these students are women and many are members of racial and ethnic minorities. 2) Providing intensive independent research experiences for students considering scientific careers in sociology, through small laboratory-based upper level research courses closely supervised by senior faculty. Many students from the department have gone on to their Ph.D.s at graduate schools throughout the U.S. 3) Disseminating the results and products of our experience to other sociology and social science departments throughout the United States.

纽约市立大学皇后学院社会学系将利用高速微型计算机和以太网开发一个本科生实验室。该网络将桥接至皇后学院学术计算机中心网络，并从那里连接至 NYSERNET、纽约市立大学范围内的计算机和 NSFNET。该实验室将使该系能够显着提高入门和高级课程的水平。该项目的三个主要目标是：1）将较低水平的方法和统计课程的内容与“动手”实验室练习相结合，从而提高学生的定量和科学推理技能，特别是社会学专业的学生。这些学生中有许多是女性，也有许多是少数种族和族裔的成员。 2）通过由高级教师密切监督的小型实验室高级研究课程，为考虑从事社会学科学职业的学生提供密集的独立研究经验。该系的许多学生已在美国各地的研究生院继续攻读博士学位。 3) 将我们的经验成果和产品传播到美国其他社会学和社会科学系。
