A Consortium for Molecular Modeling Using Workshops and the World Wide Web

本计画将建立一个联盟，以促进将分子模拟纳入大学化学课程。该联盟将由大学化学系的分子建模夏季讲习班发起。这些讲习班将利用1995年在国家科学基金会资助下购买的计算机硬件和软件。学院教师将报名参加为期一周的分子建模理论和应用研究，因为它适用于整个化学课程。讲习班将强调实验室实验和计算机建模之间的联系，以及在各种讲座课程中使用建模。研讨会结束后，与会者将通过分子建模联盟进行交流。参与者结果的跟踪和传播将通过使用已经存在的分子建模主页（www.molecules.edu）以电子方式进行。 该项目将由具有10年分子建模经验和20年在化学教育中使用计算机经验的个人指导。正在传播已经开发的模拟实验，并将随着其他新实验的完善而继续进行。

This project will establish a consortium to promote incorporation of molecular modeling into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. The consortium will be initiated by summer workshops in molecular modeling for college chemistry faculty. The workshops will make use of computer hardware and software purchased In 1995 with the help of funding from the National Science Foundation. College faculty will sign up for a week of study in the theory and application of molecular modeling as it applies to the entire chemistry curriculum. The workshops will emphasize links between laboratory experimentation and modeling on the computer as well as the use of modeling in various lecture courses. After the workshops, participants will communicate through the Molecular Modeling Consortium. The follow-up and dissemination of participant's results will be conducted electronically by use of the Molecular Modeling Home Page (www.molecules.edu) which is already in place. The project will be directed by individuals having 10 years experience in molecular modeling and 20 years of experience using computers in chemical education. Dissemination of modeling experiments already developed is underway and will continue as other new experiments are refined.
