This project addresses the introduction of computers into the undergraduate chemistry laboratory for the purpose of enhancing the chemical education of students pursuing degrees in biological and biochemical fields of study. The introduction of computers to the labs is accomplished through the adaptation and implementation of the LabWorks II SCI interface system for chemistry (NSF-DUE 9156101). The SCI interface is well described as a successful tool in undergraduate chemistry laboratories. Additionally, some of the results from LabVIEW Software (NSF-DUE 9251226) are adapted. Several of current experiments in our chemistry courses as well as some in bioorganic, biochemistry, and biology have been revised for the inclusion of this instrumentation. The computers in the labs are also used in tutorial sessions to help students visualize some of the more complex structures and mechanisms. This is accomplished through the adaptation C-MoR, a software developed at University of Richmond (Myers, H., Southeast Regional Meeting, American Chemical Society, Research Triangle Park, NC, Nov. 4-7, 1998, Abstract 183). The anticipated outcome of this project is that the implementation of computer aided chemistry improves the students' performance and ignites more interest in science.

该项目旨在将计算机引入本科化学实验室，以加强对正在攻读生物和生化专业学位的学生的化学教育。将计算机引入实验室是通过改编和实施LabWorks II SCI化学接口系统(美国国家科学基金会-DUE 9156101)完成的。SCI界面在本科生化学实验室中被描述为一个成功的工具。此外，还对LabVIEW软件(NSF-DUE 9251226)的一些结果进行了改编。目前我们化学课程中的几个实验以及生物有机、生物化学和生物学中的一些实验已经进行了修改，以包括这种仪器。实验中的计算机还用于辅导课程，以帮助学生可视化一些更复杂的结构和机制。这是通过里士满大学开发的适配C-MOR软件实现的(Myers，H.，东南地区会议，美国化学学会，研究三角公园，北卡罗来纳州，1998年11月4-7日，摘要183)。本项目的预期结果是，计算机辅助化学的实施提高了学生的学习成绩，激发了学生对科学的兴趣。
