Integration of Advanced Computer Workstations into the Undergraduate Geological Sciences Curriculum

9351261吉奥索这个项目正在将为地质科学研究而开发的软件技术转化为本科地质学专业的课程。六个“先进”的计算机工作站被用于面向计算的本科生实验室课程。这些工作站拥有大量的磁盘和内存资源，能够运行多用户操作系统(例如，Unix)，并配置了复杂的图形显示组件。此外，还与先进的工作站一起使用了高空投影仪面板。该小组正在促进将工作站显示器集成到中等规模(50名学生)的班级中。这一项目正在产生新的课程设置，并正在显著改变地质科学系实验室教学的性质。***

9351261 Ghiorso This project is transferring software technology, developed for research in the geological sciences, into the curriculum for undergraduate geology majors. Six "advanced" computer workstations are being used in computationally oriented undergraduate laboratory classes. These workstations have extensive disk and memory resources, are capable of running a multi-user operating system (e.g. UNIX), and are being configured with sophisticated graphical display components. In addition, an overhead projector panel is being used in conjunction with the advanced workstations. The panel is facilitating the integration of workstation displays into moderate size (50 student) classes. This project is resulting in new course offerings and is changing significantly the nature of laboratory instruction in the department of Geological Sciences. ***
