Implementation of Computational Chemistry throughout the Chemistry Curriculum

化学系正在采购计算机设备 和软件来整合计算化学 本科课程。 普通化学专业的学生 使用工作站检查粘合和结构， 简单的分子，而在有机化学中， 各种可能的分子之间的差异 计算构象。 来使用设备 在物理化学中学习从头算和半经验 方法. 扩大项目类型， 学生自主学习也是由于 增加计算能力。

The Department of Chemistry is purchasing computing equipment and software to incorporate computational chemistry throughout the undergraduate curriculum. General chemistry students are using the workstations to examine bonding and structure of simple molecules, while in organic chemistry the energy differences between the various possible molecular conformations are calculated calculated. The equipment is used in physical chemistry to study ab-initio and semi-empirical methods. Expansion of the types of projects available to students for independent study is also occuring as a result of the increased computional capabilities.
