Development of a World Wide Web-Based Textbook on Molecular Simulation: A Dynamic Approach to Integrating Fundamental Concepts & Research Advances into the Chemical Eng. Cur.

该奖项资助了一项为期三年的联合研究-课程开发（CRCD）计划，名为“基于万维网的分子模拟教科书的开发”，由田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校的Peter T. Cummings博士指导。这个项目的目标是创建一个基于www的分子模拟“教科书”。这本书的电子形式是专门存在的，并通过电子浏览器，如网景或微软浏览器阅读。这种电子格式邀请使用许多新奇的工具，大大提高了学习经验，并允许本书迅速调整到分子模拟领域的进步，从而防止其过时。这项由该奖项资助的工作是将分子模拟纳入田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校本科和研究生化学工程课程的更广泛项目的一部分。这一点很重要，因为分子模拟正在成为化学品制造商和消费者的实用工具。

EEC 9700809 Cummings Abstract This award funds a three year Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) program, entitled "Development of a World Wide Web Based Textbook on Molecular Simulation," at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville under the direction of Dr. Peter T. Cummings. The goal of this project is to initiate a WWW-based "textbook" on molecular simulation. An electronic form of this book exists exclusively and is read via an electronic browser such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. This electronic format invites the use of many novel tools that significantly enhance the learning experience and permits the book to adjust rapidly to advances in the field of molecular simulation, thereby precluding its obsolescence. The work funded by this award is part of a broader project to weave molecular simulation into the undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering curricula at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. This is important because molecular simulation is emerging as a practical tool of chemical manufacturers and consumers.
