After introducing computer terminology, the author states the purpose of a 3-week intensive summer course to afford practicing scientists familiarity with digital computers in chemical instrumentation. Describes equipment and personnel required. The course consists of fourteen formal lectures and fourteen laboratory assignments in digital logic,…

Describes a two-term course in electronic instrumentation for chemistry and physics students. The first term focuses on analog circuits and the measurement of voltage, current, and impendance. The second-term course focuses on digital pulses/logic, microcomputer organization, and assembly language programing and interfacing to experiments. (JN)

Describes the continuing education program for clinical chemistry instrumentation training established at The College of Staten Island, New York. A course consisting of 14 sessions is outlined and discussed. (CS)

Describes an undergraduate chemistry laboratory course designed to acquaint the students with the major laboratory instruments, the chemical literature, and methods for writing effective laboratory reports. (MLH)

Describes a course which used a student project approach and was designed to replace traditional instrumental analysis. Presents the criteria used for project selection and gives examples of student projects in 1974. (GS)

Describes a course designed to provide college juniors and seniors with maximum theoretical and practical exposure to every available analytical instrument. (GS)

A program designed to increase studnet interest and provide motivation in a third-year systems and measurements laboratory in mechanical engineering is provided. The philosophy of the course, instructional techniques, equipment design (including schematics and photographs), suggested activities, and student reactions to the course are presented.…

Biology teachers at Ithaca College have developed a course in experimental methodology and instrumentation that teaches beginning biology students the need for accuracy and precision in measurement. This course is described. (JN)

Described are four demonstration/participation laboratories in which students analytically and experimentally evaluated various catheter-transducer blood pressure measurement systems. The activities were included in a graduate level course entitled "Theory and Techniques of Bioinstrumentation," taught by the Department of Electrical Engineering…

Presents a collection of articles to provide chemistry teachers with resource materials to add forensic chemistry units to their chemistry courses. Topics range from development of forensic science laboratory courses and mock-crime scenes to forensic serology and analytical techniques. (JN)

Describes an interdisciplinary program designed to give junior-level chemistry, biology and physics majors general knowledge of the theory/application of instrumental methods, practical experience in instrument operation/data interpretation and use of instruments to make measurements to solve problems. This course contains a common…

Describes a graduate engineering course which specializes in model predictive control. Lists course outline and scope. Discusses some specific topics and teaching methods. Suggests final projects for the students. (MVL)
