Lau, Poh Nguk; Chan, Wen Loong; Li, Yuxuan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As part of COVID-19 preparedness, a student-developed, Android-based app was used as a pre-laboratory learning aid for a molecular modeling laboratory in a first-year general chemistry course. A worksheet activity with trigger codes and questions related to spatial features of transition metal complexes was designed. Using the Transition Metal…

Miller, James R. C. – Journal of Engineering Education, 1971
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Engineering Education, Instruction
Bassingthwaighte, James B. – Physiologist, 1985
Teaching and research in physiology encompass increasingly complex notions of the system under study. Computer modeling fosters understanding by extending the ability to formulate, test, and evaluate hypotheses about the system, and to describe experimental data. The exploration of the model system's behavior serves teaching and investigation in…

Novak, Gordon S., Jr. – 1982
The major task in solving a physics problem is to construct an appropriate model of the problem in terms of physical principles. The functions performed by such a model, the information which needs to be represented, and the knowledge used in selecting and instantiating an appropriate model are discussed. An example of a model for a mechanics…

Holden, Constance – Science, 1985
The National Academy of Sciences suggests models for biomedical research which include a biology-wide information system with computerized database accessible from a multitude of dimensions. Links could help discover whether toxic chemicals have effects similar to hormones. Commonalities from molecules to ecosystems might restructure available…

Campbell, Kenneth; And Others – Physiologist, 1982
Describes a model which gives realistic predictions of pulsatile pressure, flow, and volume events in the cardiovascular system. Includes computer oriented laboratory exercises for veterinary and graduate students; equations of the dynamic and algebraic models; and a flow chart for the cardiovascular teaching program. (JN)

Goddard, William A., III – Science, 1985
The expected thrust for theoretical chemistry in the next decade will be to combine knowledge of fundamental chemical steps/interactions with advances in chemical dynamics, irreversible statistical mechanics, and computer technology to produce simulations of chemical systems with reaction site competition. A sample simulation (using the enzyme…

Garmon, Linda – Science News, 1981
Describes the features of various computer chemistry programs. Utilization of computer graphics, color, digital imaging, and other innovations are discussed in programs including those which aid in the identification of unknowns, predict whether chemical reactions are feasible, and predict the biological activity of xenobiotic compounds. (CS)

Allan, John J.; And Others – 1970
Steps that should be taken to design and implement computer-based instruction (CBI) for undergraduate science and engineering courses are outlined, and these steps are based on the experience of faculty at the University of Texas at Austin. Among the steps described are development of course material, developmental and validation testing of…
