Chemical and Environmental Systems Laboratories

该项目正在为化学工程和环境工程本科实验室的学生扩大学习经验。每年有100多名学生从这一进步中受益。学生们正在设计和进行更现实的工程实验，涉及更复杂的系统。这些实验类似于在工业、政府和商业工作环境中遇到的情况。该项目还扩大了学生在实验站进行交互式互联网接入的机会。目前采用了两种方法。第一种方法是扩大这些实验室中拥有计算机化数据采集和控制设备的实验站的数量。THIQ的目标正在通过六台新的个人计算机以及相关的硬件和软件实现，用于测量、数据采集和控制、分析、报告和结果展示。第二种方法是通过开发用于监测和控制设备的软件和联网，将因特网接入扩大到实验室。这些改进为学生增加了用工程设备体验动手实验的系统。他们还增加了与实验室设备进行远程交互的系统和能力。这项措施允许在其他学校之间进行合作实验室实验。*

This project is expanding the learning experience for students in the undergraduate laboratories for chemical engineering and environmental engineering. More than 100 students a year are benefiting from this improvement. Students are designing and conducting more realistic engineering experiments on more complex systems. These experiments are similar to situations encountered in industrial, government, and commercial work environments. This project is also expanding the opportunities for students to have interactive Internet access in the laboratory stations. Two methods are being employed. The first method is to expand the number of experimental stations that have computerized data acquisition and control equipment in these laboratories. Thiq goal is being accomplished with six new personal computers and associated hardware and software for measurement, data acquisition and control, analysis, reporting, and presentation of results. The second method is to expand Internet access to the laboratories with the development of software and networking for the monitoring and control of equipment. These improvements are adding systems for students to experience hands-on experiments with engineering equipment. They are also adding systems and capability for remote interaction with the laboratory equipment. This measure is allowing for cooperative laboratory experimentation among other schools. *
