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规定：(1)扩大计算机在数学和科学课程教学中的使用；(2)改进现有的实验室实验，引入新的实验室实验，包括计算机化的数据采集和分析；(3)加强学生对计算机的接触，促进基于计算机的作业和实验室的后续工作。数学和科学概念通过更广泛的研究紧密地联系在一起，这些研究可以在计算机的帮助下完成。加强跨学科学习是参与调查人员的主要目标。数学正在使用科学中的例子来开发课程材料。科学界正在将更复杂的数学建模和数据分析引入他们的实验室，以实现这一目标。所要求的设备可能会对来自不同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的学生。*

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. *
