"Introducing Computers into the Chemistry Laboratory"

本计划旨在将电脑引入本科化学实验室，以加强攻读生物及生化专业学位学生的化学教育。将计算机引入实验室是通过适应和实现LabWorks II化学SCI接口系统（NSF-DUE 9156101）完成的。SCI界面是本科化学实验室的一种成功工具。此外，本文还采用了LabVIEW Software （NSF-DUE 9251226）的部分结果。我们目前化学课程中的几个实验，以及生物有机、生物化学和生物学的一些实验，已经被修改为包含这个仪器。实验室里的计算机也用于辅导课，帮助学生可视化一些更复杂的结构和机制。这是通过改编C-MoR软件完成的，该软件由里士满大学开发（Myers， H.，东南地区会议，美国化学学会，Research Triangle Park， NC, november 4-7, 1998, Abstract 183）。本项目的预期结果是，计算机辅助化学的实施提高了学生的成绩，激发了他们对科学的兴趣。

This project addresses the introduction of computers into the undergraduate chemistry laboratory for the purpose of enhancing the chemical education of students pursuing degrees in biological and biochemical fields of study. The introduction of computers to the labs is accomplished through the adaptation and implementation of the LabWorks II SCI interface system for chemistry (NSF-DUE 9156101). The SCI interface is well described as a successful tool in undergraduate chemistry laboratories. Additionally, some of the results from LabVIEW Software (NSF-DUE 9251226) are adapted. Several of current experiments in our chemistry courses as well as some in bioorganic, biochemistry, and biology have been revised for the inclusion of this instrumentation. The computers in the labs are also used in tutorial sessions to help students visualize some of the more complex structures and mechanisms. This is accomplished through the adaptation C-MoR, a software developed at University of Richmond (Myers, H., Southeast Regional Meeting, American Chemical Society, Research Triangle Park, NC, Nov. 4-7, 1998, Abstract 183). The anticipated outcome of this project is that the implementation of computer aided chemistry improves the students' performance and ignites more interest in science.
