Integration of Computer and Multimedia Technology into Traditional Science Lab Curricula

这个项目将在切萨皮克建立一个模型科学实验室 学院的剑桥卫星中心在多切斯特县。 通过使用创新的、实际操作的方法以及 直接使用多媒体，数据处理和 模拟软件，该实验室将用于涉及 学生在科学和技术，帮助他们建立一个 科学知识基础，并鼓励他们 在科学或工程领域走上职业道路。 学院将修改目前在教学中采用的方法 基础生物和物理科学， 强化学习环境，要求学生 自然的好奇心作为设计的起点， 实验 剑桥卫星中心位于 多切斯特县的人口中有27.9%是非洲人， 美国人 1991年，41%的第一次全日制新生 来自多切斯特县的100名学生和79名来自多切斯特县的100名学生就读于切萨皮克学院， 占该县所有兼职本科生的百分比。是 预计这笔赠款将大大改善 从目标少数群体中招聘理科候选人 居住在该地区的人口。

This project will develop a model science lab at Chesapeake College's Cambridge Satellite Center in Dorchester County. Through the use of innovative, hands-on approaches as well as the direct use of multi-media, data manipulation and simulational software, this laboratory will be used to involve students in science and technology, help them to establish a science knowledge base from which to work, and encourage them to follow a career path in a science or engineering field. Faculty will revise the approach currently employ in teaching the basic biological and physical sciences to provide an enhanced learning environment that will call upon students' natural curiosity as a starting point in the design of experiments. The Cambridge Satellite Center is located in Dorchester County, whose population is 27.9 percent African- American. In 1991, 41% of all first-time, full-time freshmen from Dorchester County attended Chesapeake College, as did 79 percent of all part-time undergraduates in the County. It is anticipated that this grant will markedly improve the recruitment of science candidates from a targeted minority population that resides in the area.
