Computer Equipment to Improve Data Acquisition and Analysis in Biology Labs

该机构提供了文科大一和大二 课程。超过一半的学生年龄较大， 返回学校或农村，第一代大学 学生因此，该项目提供计算机和 相关的生理记录设备和软件， 有助于生物学的本科教学。 软件 开发的程序也允许教师准备印刷的 和基于Hypercard的教程材料， 我们学生的背景。预计该项目 将增强我们传统的实验室经验， 学生和挖掘目前未充分利用的能力， 我们机构里大量的非传统人口。

The institution provides a liberal arts freshman and sophomore curriculum. More than half of the students are older and returning to school or are rural, first-generation college students. This project, therefore, provides computers and associated physiological recording equipment and software that helps undergraduate instruction in biology. The software programs developed have also allowed faculty to prepare printed and Hypercard-based tutorial material custom-designed to the backgrounds of our students. It is expected that this project will enhance the laboratory experience of our traditional students and tap the currently underutilized capabilities of our large non-traditional population at the institution.
