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.

EEC 9700809 Cummings摘要该奖项资助田纳西-诺克斯维尔大学彼得·T·卡明斯博士指导下的一项为期三年的研究与课程开发相结合的计划，题为“开发基于万维网的分子模拟教科书”。该项目的目标是建立一个基于WWW的分子模拟“教科书”。这本书的一种电子形式是专门存在的，并通过电子浏览器(如Netscape或Microsoft Explorer)阅读。这种电子格式邀请使用许多新的工具，显著增强了学习体验，并允许该书快速调整，以适应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一个更广泛的项目的一部分，该项目旨在将分子模拟融入田纳西-诺克斯维尔大学的本科生和研究生化学工程课程。这一点很重要，因为分子模拟正在成为化学制造商和消费者的一种实用工具。

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.
