Students develop and use actual instrumentation in this course which focuses on analog computers, digital electronics, computer interfacing, and online computer techniques. Includes a student handout on the design of a bridge amplifier unit. Mimeographed experiment directions are available from the authors. (SK)

Describes a three-hour, one-semester graduate course to provide numerical methods and modeling techniques to handle problems in future courses or engineering practice. Includes rationale for topics such as interpolation, integration, and equation roots, among others. Indicates that all problems require computer use. (SK)

Describes an undergraduate chemical engineering course which has been offered at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The objectives, structure, instructional materials and content of this course, which emphasizes the structure and usage of computer-aided design systems, are also included. (HM)

Listings of suggested topics aimed at helping university and college faculties plan courses in the main areas of the chemistry curricula are provided. The suggestions were originally offered as appendices to the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Committee on Professional Training's 1983 guidelines for ACS-approved schools. The course data included…

Reviews developments in chemistry curriculum/instruction, providing lists of chemistry cassettes, monographs, educational literature from the Royal Society of Chemistry, new teaching packages, and course materials for science in society. Extends information presented in a previous article (EJ 235 051) appearing in this journal. (JN)

After describing a continuing education course in polymer chemistry, summarizes materials, methods, and results of an extensive evaluation of the course. Includes a discussion of benefits for participants and a list of 14 recommendations based on the evaluation. (JN)

Discusses single-board microcomputers which are designed primarily for data acquisition and control. Directed toward individuals with little or no hands-on experience with microcomputers, this article gives references, among others, for reading about and purchasing microcomputers. (SK)

Forty-five "poster session" papers presented at the Seventh Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (Stillwater, Oklahoma 1982) are highlighted. These papers focused on computers in chemistry and chemical education (emphasizing programs) and on instructional innovations (including courses, teaching methods, testing, experiments, and others). (JN)

Describes a two-semester laboratory program designed to motivate students. The program consists of computer-oriented modules and discovery approach laboratory exercises. Students complete similar computer/laboratory material during the first semester but elect one of three tracks during the second semester (computer, every-day life, and…
