Computer Equipment to Improve Data Acquisition and Analysis in Biology Labs

该机构提供文科大一和大二的课程。超过一半的学生年龄较大，正在返校，或者是农村的第一代大学生。因此，该项目提供计算机和相关的生理记录设备和软件，以帮助生物学本科教学。开发的软件程序还允许教师准备印刷和基于hypercard的教程材料，这些材料是根据学生的背景定制的。预计该项目将提高我校传统学生的实验室经验，并挖掘我校大量非传统学生目前未充分利用的能力。

The institution provides a liberal arts freshman and sophomore curriculum. More than half of the students are older and returning to school or are rural, first-generation college students. This project, therefore, provides computers and associated physiological recording equipment and software that helps undergraduate instruction in biology. The software programs developed have also allowed faculty to prepare printed and Hypercard-based tutorial material custom-designed to the backgrounds of our students. It is expected that this project will enhance the laboratory experience of our traditional students and tap the currently underutilized capabilities of our large non-traditional population at the institution.
