"Introducing Computers into the Chemistry Laboratory"

本项目旨在将计算机引入本科生化学实验室，以加强生物和生物化学研究领域攻读学位的学生的化学教育。计算机引入实验室是通过适应和实施LabWorks II SCI化学接口系统（NSF-DUE 9156101）完成的。SCI接口被描述为本科化学实验室的成功工具。此外，还采用了LabVIEW软件（NSF-DUE 9251226）的一些结果。在我们的化学课程，以及一些在生物有机，生物化学和生物学目前的实验几个已被修订列入此仪器。实验室中的计算机也用于辅导课程，以帮助学生可视化一些更复杂的结构和机制。 这是通过适应C-MoR来实现的，C-MoR是在里士满大学开发的软件（Myers，H.，东南区域会议，美国化学学会，三角研究园，北卡罗来纳州，1998年11月4-7日，摘要183）。本计画的预期成果是电脑辅助化学的实施，可以提高学生的表现，并激发学生对科学的兴趣。

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.
