Objectives and outline are provided for a 10-week, upper-level nutrition and computer course. The outline specifies weekly topics and the focus of accompanying lectures and laboratory sessions, including the specific microcomputer program used with each task. (JN)

This paper describes a series of FORTRAN IV computer models which are the content-oriented subject matter for a college course in forest planning. The course objectives, the planning problem, and the ten planning aid models are listed. Student comments and evaluation of the program are included. (BT)

Describes a computer communication course (and its associated laboratory) developed for electrical engineering students at the University of Florida. The course teaches seniors and graduate students the theoretical limits that affect the implementation of serial digital communications and surveys the interface standards, data link protocols, and…

A laboratory course design to teach the principles of process data acquisition and control using digital computers was developed at Washington University. The structure of the laboratory and course are described. The course outline and list of experiments are included. (JN)

Describes a senior-level course which teaches engineers to design and implement a large software project within a team structure. Management issues, technical issues, project phases, and examples of student projects are included. (JN)

Describes a graduate-level course in physical-organic chemistry in which students learn to solve problems using computer programs available through the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange. Includes condensed syllabus and time line showing where various computational programs are introduced. (Author/JN)

This article describes a one-semester junior and senior level course in applied mathematical optimization for undergraduates which provides the opportunity to test models by doing numerical experiments and to learn to use computer subroutines for solving optimization problems. (MN)

Describes a course based on the premise that an automated experiment consists of three distinct sections: experiment, computer, and interface (including both software and hardware). Includes course content, lecture topics, and discussion of necessary computer equipment. (Author/SK)

A one-semester hour laboratory course introduced junior and senior physics majors to assembly language programing and to interfacing KIM-1 microcomputer to experiments. A general purpose interface to a standard breadboard was developed. Course details, apparatus, and some interfacing projects are given. (Author/SK)

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)

A computer-based curriculum database was developed at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine to provide curriculum planners with accurate information on what was being taught, who was teaching, and where in the curriculum subjects were being taught. Problems of curriculum overlap, integration, and correlation are discussed. (Author/MLW)

Describes the computer literacy program at Vassar College. Included are discussions of the computer literacy program core course, literacy program follow-up courses, types of projects in which computers were used, role of the program coordinator, as well as comments on future endeavors (such as grant support for faculty/student computer…

Describes a course in which students completed physics projects using the computer. Includes rationale for the course, list of student projects, as well as some concerns and difficulties noted by the instructors. (JN)

Briefly described is a numerical calculus course which provides (1) experience and practice in programing and the use of the computer in problem solving, (2) intermediate and/or advanced techniques in FORTRAN IV programing, (3) elementary error analysis, (4) programing efficiency, and (5) documentation of programs. The course, designed to fulfill…

Describes a computer assisted program in which the computer program provides a self-paced, individualized component with course outlines, weekly assignments, answers to exam questions, and reports of student grades in a general chemistry course. (SL)
