A Computer-Based Analytical Chemistry Laboratory Program

化学系正在重塑其分析化学 实验室课程，使学生学习和学习 分析化学，就像 专业化学家 每个学校都配备了一台电脑， 工作站，计算机与 通过接口和各种传感器来控制实验 收集和分析数据。 这使学生从很多事情中解脱出来。 数据采集的苦差事，并允许更多的时间， 思考密集型活动，如最佳决策 实验设计和处理数据的最佳方法 由所进行的测量产生。 另外由于 计算机快速准确地收集大量数据， 学生们接触到的实验 比以前更复杂和有趣。 的 变化正在给我们带来新的和令人兴奋的活力， 分析化学课程。 该设备用于 实现这些目标包括16台计算机，16个接口， 相关的传感器和四台打印机，共32个 学生在特定时间

The Chemistry Department is reshaping its analytical chemistry laboratory courses such that students are studying and learning analytical chemistry in the same way it is practiced by professional chemists. A computer is being provided at every work station, where the computer is being used in conjunction with an interface and various sensors to control experiments and collect and analyze data. This frees the student from much of the drudgery of data acquisition and allows more time for thought-intensive activities such as decisions on optimal experiment design and the most appropriate way to treat data resulting from the measurements made. In addition, because the computer gathers large amounts of data rapidly and accurately, students are being exposed to experiments which are more complex and interesting than those previously possible. The changes are bringing a new and exciting vitality to the analytical chemistry courses. The equipment being used to achieve these goals includes 16 computers, 16 interfaces and associated sensors, and four printers to serve a total of 32 students at a given time.
