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

An electronic laboratory station was designed for student use in learning electronic instrumentation and measurement by means of the computer-guided experimentation (CGE) system. The station features rack-mounted electronic laboratory equipment on a laboratory table adjacent to a PLATO IV terminal. An integrated logic system behind the laboratory…

An analog solution was obtained for the Nenst-Planck and Poisson equations which describe the ion concentration across a simple membrane held at a potential difference. The electric field variation within the membrane was also determined. (Author/TS)

This paper presents ideas on using programed instruction in the language laboratory for second language learning. Linear programing is more suited to language instruction than is branching, because the former more easily allows comparison between the students' and teachers' solutions and is technically less complicated and less expensive to…

The expense of a dial access information retrieval system (DIARS) is weighed against its benefits. Problems of usage and efficacy for the student are outlined. A fully automated system is proposed instead, and its cost-saving features are pointed out. (MS)

Describes development of microcomputer-controlled gamma scintillation spectrometer and chromatographic data analyzer, including design and construction of interface electronics and production of software. Includes diagrams of electric circuits and project evaluation indicating that both instruments functioned as intended. (JN)

A university level course which uses minicomputers in laboratory data acquisition and experimental control is described. The majority of the students are chemistry seniors and graduate students; prerequisites are general physics and one semester of computer science or programing experience. The goals of the course, which is divided into 3 5-week…

This paper describes a teaching method, presently in the experimental stage, that advocates the use of a programed instruction model in the language laboratory, with students working in homogeneous groups of three. The author describes the technical construction and operation of the language laboratory which allows three students to work together…

Emphasis on interfacing -- the various processes for passing information into or out of computers -- is suggested. Why the Texas Instruments microcomputer is plausible for this is noted, followed by specific interfacing suggestions, including programs for a timer and the assembly language subroutine. (MNS)

Describes two computer programs for use in process design courses: an easy-to-use equipment cost estimation program based on latest cost correlations available and an economic evaluation program which calculates two profitability indices. Comparisons between programed and hand-calculated results are included. (JM)

Describes an experiment to give students exposure to digital control widely used in industry but not given much attention in most undergraduate process control curricula. Students write their own control programs and experimentally determine the transfer functions for all system components. Also describes experimental apparatus used in the…

A simple analog computer program is described which, in conjunction with a dual-trace storage oscilloscope, can demonstrate travelling and standing waves, the effect of various reflection coefficients, standing wave ratios, and other wave phenomena. (Author/CP)
