Computer-Assisted Learning in the Laboratory

化学、物理和工程系， 诺福克州立大学正在采购微型计算机，数据- 采集外围设备和软件，以及计算和 模拟软件，以提高实验教学在三个 程序. 模拟和建模软件允许学生 研究太危险或太昂贵而无法实际运行的实验 实验室 此外，仿真软件允许 学生实验室操作培训 工具，从而提高他们的技能水平， 了解仪器设计原理。软件 和数据采集设备被确定为应用于 有机化学，荣誉普通化学，生物化学， 分析化学，物理化学，本科 研究项目、物理课程和电子工程 国家科学基金会的赠款资金正在与非国家科学基金会的资金相匹配。 联邦消息来源。

The Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering at Norfolk State University is acquiring microcomputers, data- acquisition peripherals and software, and computation and simulation software to upgrade laboratory instruction in three programs. Simulation and modeling software permits students to study experiments too hazardous or expensive to actually run in a laboratory. Additionally, simulation software permits training of students in the operation of laboratory instruments, thereby improving their skill level and their understanding of the principles of instrument design.Software and data-acquisition devices are identified for application in Organic Chemistry, Honors General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, undergraduate research projects, physics courses, and electronic engineering courses.NSF grant funds are being matched with funds from non- federal sources.
