We present a new highly interdisciplinary project-based course in computer aided drug discovery (CADD). This course was developed in response to a call for alternative pedagogical approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused the cancellation of a face-to-face summer research program sponsored by the Louisiana Biomedical Research Network…

The present article is primarily targeted for the advanced college/university undergraduate students of chemistry/physics education, computational physics/chemistry, and computer science. The most recent software system such as MS Visual Studio .NET version 2010 is employed to perform computer simulations for modeling Bohr's quantum theory of…

This first article includes background material on computers that will be of value in understanding subsequent papers in the series. It also discusses the advantages and problems of implementing computer-based educational materials at locations and on machines for which the materials were not originally designed. (BB)

Describes a procedure for periodically sampling varying analog signals and storing its digitized signal in the computer. (MLH)

The setup described here for recording chemical transient phenomena is intended to be simple and an instructive example of interfacing experiments that can be performed on any microcomputer possessing adequate memory and input-output facilities. (BB)

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…

Using a specific course as an example, article presents a general approach to curriculum design, the computer techniques employed, the results obtained and the changes and adaptations which might be useful. (Author)

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…

Two computer-oriented chemistry laboratory simulations are described. The material focuses on acid-base titration and an ideal gas simulation. (MP)

Reviews the use of hand held calculators as an alternative to computer assisted instruction at the secondary level in chemistry classes. (SL)

Secondary school teachers incorporating the use of a computer in algebra, trigonometry, advanced mathematics, chemistry, or physics classes are the individuals for whom this book is intended. The content included in it is designed to aid the learning of programing techniques and basic scientific or mathematical principles, and to offer some…

Describes a computer-assisted chemistry program which allows for individualization and which utilizes BASIC computer programming. (SL)

Reviews three software programs: "Fraction Fuel-Up"; "Explorations in Chemistry"; and "Locus." Includes information on: instructional orientation, educational level, systems package, publisher, program description, strengths and weaknesses, applications, and recommendations for improvement. Includes a general critique statement in the summary…

Aimed at improving officer education through the use of modern technology, a two-pronged computer-assisted instruction (CAI) effort was initiated. CAI techniques and methods utilized in the dual projects (CAI-Teletype and CAI 1500) are discussed under three categories: computational, non-computational, and computer management of instruction.…

Described is the use of automated control using microcomputers. Covers the development of the microcontroller and describes advantages and characteristics of several brands of chips. Provides several recent applications of microcontrollers in laboratory automation. (MVL)
