The project is developing new laboratory exercises for non- science majors in introductory geology courses. Each exercise is divided into a 1) data acquisition 2) data analysis and 3) model visualization/testing phase. RISC-based graphics work stations, electronic measuring devices and field tests are being used to bring 3-D visualizations into the elementary course sequence. With the introduction of computer analysis of data and with computer modelling of geologic processes, non- science students are developing scientific methods and learning about critical environmental problems. Although these approaches are being developed for classes with large enrollments, the laboratory portion of the course involves 20- 25 students in each section, requires individual participation and introduces the use of computer visualization models to evaluate each simple hypothesis.

该项目正在为非科学专业地质学入门课程开发新的实验室练习。 每个练习分为 1) 数据采集 2) 数据分析和 3) 模型可视化/测试阶段。 基于 RISC 的图形工作站、电子测量设备和现场测试正在用于将 3D 可视化引入基础课程序列中。 随着计算机数据分析和地质过程计算机建模的引入，非科学学生正在开发科学方法并了解关键的环境问题。 尽管这些方法是为招生人数较多的班级开发的，但课程的实验室部分每个部分涉及 20-25 名学生，需要个人参与，并引入计算机可视化模型的使用来评估每个简单的假设。
