Computers located at student stations within freshman chemistry laboratories are being used in three ways: sophisticated data acquisition and analysis, distribution of locally produced digital video clips of faculty research related to each experiment being done by the students, and electronic distribution of locally produced instructions for each experiment (text, diagrams, photos, and digital video clips). The overall goal is to make freshman chemistry students believe that they are doing chemistry the way professional chemists do and not just learning material that many of the students have already seen in high schools. The introduction of the digital video clips of research not only shows that the freshman chemistry experiments are important and relevant to `genuine chemistry,` but it also gives the department an opportunity to show how the same techniques that are taught in freshman chemistry laboratory courses are an essential part of extremely important chemical research.

位于新生化学实验室内的学生站的计算机以三种方式使用：复杂的数据采集和分析，与学生正在做的每个实验相关的教师研究的本地制作的数字视频剪辑的分发，以及每个实验的本地制作的说明（文本，图表，照片和数字视频剪辑）的电子分发。总的目标是让大一的化学学生相信他们正在做化学专业化学家做的方式，而不仅仅是学习材料，许多学生已经在高中看到。研究的数字视频剪辑的引入不仅表明，新生化学实验是重要的，并与“真正的化学”有关，但它也给了部门一个机会，以显示如何在新生化学实验室课程教授相同的技术是非常重要的化学研究的重要组成部分。
