In accordance with the Chemistry Department's goal of providing a premier education in chemistry for its undergraduates by the year 2000, the department is equipping the Chemistry Interactive Learning Center (CILC) with a network of 16 Pentium-based computers and 1 SGI Indigo2 Workstation. This center is an upper-division teaching facility that permits learning to take place with integrated flexible instructional formats and is essential for the implementation of curricular changes that enhance student training for the real-world workplace. The curriculum changes target the use of cutting-edge computer and multimedia technologies to integrate concept learning with the development of communication, management, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in the following chemistry major courses: Basic Inorganic Chemistry, Quantitative Analysis, Physical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, and Polymer Chemistry. The CILC can be a crucial segment of the learning infrastructure available to chemistry students. The CILC is to serve as a model for other university chemistry departments considering the use of multimedia technologies to integrate concept learning with skills development in integrated course/laboratory instruction.

根据化学系的目标，到2000年为本科生提供一流的化学教育，化学系正在为化学互动学习中心（CILC）配备16台Pentium计算机和1台SGI Indigo 2工作站。 该中心是一个高年级的教学设施，允许学习与综合灵活的教学格式发生，是必不可少的课程变化，提高学生的培训，为现实世界的工作场所的实施。课程改革的目标是利用先进的计算机和多媒体技术，将概念学习与以下化学专业课程的沟通，管理，批判性思维和解决问题的能力的发展相结合：基础无机化学，定量分析，物理化学，仪器分析和高分子化学。 CILC可以成为化学学生学习基础设施的重要组成部分。CILC是作为其他大学化学系考虑使用多媒体技术，在综合课程/实验室教学的概念学习与技能发展相结合的模式。
