Computerized Instruction, Data Acquisition, and Analysis in Undergraduate science and Mathematics Laboratories

该项目提供科学和计算设备，供本科生在七门生物、五门化学和三门数学课程中进行实验室实验和学生研究。数学和科学计算机学习中心提供(1)在数学和科学课程教学中扩大使用计算机；（二）修改现有的实验室实验，采用计算机数据采集和分析的新的实验室实验；(3)增强学生使用计算机的能力，促进基于计算机的作业和对实验室的跟踪。数学和科学概念通过更广泛的研究紧密地联系在一起，这些研究可以借助计算机来完成。加强跨学科学习是相关研究者的主要目标。数学是利用科学中的例子来开发课程材料。科学正在将更复杂的数学建模和数据分析引入实验室，以实现这一目标。所要求的设备可以对各种学科的学生产生重大影响，包括基础数学和科学，以及中等教育和相关卫生专业。＊

This project provides scientific and computing equipment to be used by undergraduates to perform laboratory experiments and student research in seven biology, five chemistry, and three mathematics courses. A computer learning center for mathematics and science provides for (1) expanded use of computers for instruction in mathematics and science courses; (2) the modification of existing laboratory experiments and the introduction of new laboratory experiments involving computerized data acquisition and analysis; and (3) enhanced student access to computers, facilitating computer-based assignments and follow-ups to laboratories. Mathematical and scientific concepts are strongly linked through the more extensive studies that may be accomplished with the aid of computers. Strengthening interdisciplinary learning is a major goal of the investigators involved. Mathematics is developing course materials using examples from the sciences. The sciences are introducing more sophisticated mathematical modeling and data analysis into their laboratories to achieve this goal. The requested equipment can have a significant impact on students from a variety of disciplines that include both basic mathematics and science, as well as secondary education and allied health majors. *
