This unit of instruction includes nine laboratory experiments. All of the experiments are from the D.C. Health Revision of the Chemical Education Materials Study (CHEMS) with one exception. Program six is the lab from the original version of the CHEMS program. Each program consists of three parts (1) the lab and computer hints, (2) the description…

This document presents a report of the Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education (CACHE) Committee concerned with references to previously measured physical properties. A partial list of data that are of use to the chemical engineer is assembled in three tables. References are listed by title, author, publisher, and date. Following each…

The Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education (CACHE) guidelines identify desirable features of large-scale computer programs including running cost and running-time limit. Also discussed are programming standards, documentation, program installation, system requirements, program testing, and program distribution. Lists of types of…

This catalog contains descriptions of the available biology lessons on PLATO IV, compiled to assist instructors in planning their curricula. Information is provided for 87 lessons in the following areas: experimental tools and techniques; chemical basis of life; cellular structure and function; bioenergetics - enzymes and cellular metabolism;…

These six chapters provide an introduction to Newtonian mechanics, based on a coordinated use of text material, laboratory work, and the computer. The material is essentially self-contained so that it can serve as a short text on mechanics or as a text supplement in a regular physics course. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction to the computer…

This booklet is one of a set of eight designed to be used in a self-paced introductory chemistry course in conjunction with specified textbooks and computer-assisted instruction (CAI) modules. Each topic is introduced with a textbook reading assignment and additional readings are provided in the booklet. Also included are self-tests (and answers),…

This manual describes the CALM TV graphics interface, a low-cost means of producing quality graphics on an ordinary TV. The system permits the output of data in graphic as well as alphanumeric form and the input of data from the face of the TV using a light pen. The integrated circuits required in the interface can be obtained from standard…

This work contains 21 computer programs intended for use in a chemical engineering education format. The programs represent appropriate homework exercises for undergraduate students. The intended academic level is listed for each example. Although the activities deal with specific problems, the computer programs represent the areas of kinetics,…

This publication of Computer Oriented Materials Production for Undergraduate Teaching (COMPUTe), is intended to aid in the development of an autotutorial program for college-level undergraduate physics. Particularly in the area of mechanics, the author feels there is a need for a tutorial program which enables students to use a variety of…

The citizens' workshops provide the opportunity for discussion of a wide variety of issues relating to energy and the environment. They are conducted by qualified energy specialists. In the workshops citizens are able to make judgments on the use of energy resources, environmental effects, growth, and the quality of life using the…

This document provides computer programs, written in BASIC PLUS, for presenting fundamental or remedial college chemistry students with chemical problems in a computer assisted instructional program. Programs include instructions, a sample run, and 14 separate practice sessions covering: mathematical operations, using decimals, solving…

Presented are two papers on computer applications in engineering education coursework. The first paper suggests that since most engineering graduates use only "canned programs" and rarely write their own programs, educational emphasis should include model building and the use of existing software as well as program writing. The second paper deals…

This document, intended for faculty at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, provides information about the PLATO computer-based instructional system and instructions for participating in lesson preparation. The physical components of the PLATO system and the PLATO IV terminals, student consoles, and teaching stations are…
