Presents a program that provides a structured listing of BASIC computer programs in a text file. Indents for-next loops for better appearance and easier understanding. Lists program and provides for several versions of BASIC. (MVL)

Describes a student programing project using microcomputers in an engineering design course. Provides some instructional procedures and student feedback from the project. (YP)

Discusses the possibility of having chemistry students do their own computer programing that could then be used to solve problems in general chemistry. Describes such an effort at Eastern Washington University. Provides examples of some of the student programs and printouts. (TW)

Describes a framework for the construction of computer-aided learning programs and for the BBC microcomputer which has been used successfully as the basis of a set of genetics teaching programs called "Linkage." Includes program design principles and procedures. (ML)

Lists a BASIC program which computes the equilibrium constant as a function of temperature. Suggests use by undergraduates taking a one-year calculus-based physical chemistry course. Notes the program provides for up to four species, typically two reactants and two products. (MVL)

Discusses programs to provide a knowledge base and use the knowledge in a mode of artificial intelligence. Indicates that two methods of database storage are possible and opts to use a method using many data files while using a small RAM capacity. Lists several programs. (MVL)

Describes a method for making a simple, inexpensive apparatus which can be used to determine Planck's constant. Provides illustrations of a circuit diagram using one or more light-emitting diodes and a BASIC computer program for simplifying calculations. (RT)

Describes two computer programs used to aid in data analysis: (1) Develops a method for the propagation of error involving the direct calculation of the error in the dependent variable using a spreadsheet; (2) Examines a simple numerical method for solving complex equilibria. Lists a FORTRAN 77 program. (MVL)

Discusses a research project that uses artificial intelligence techniques to help teach programing. Describes principles and implementation of the LISP Intelligent Tutoring System (LISPITS). Explains how the artificial intelligence technique was developed and possible future research. (MVL)

Described is a method of evaluating student chemistry laboratory reports using electronic reporting from locally developed macros. Examples of the input template, the grade report template, and input and grading programs are given. Results of a survey of students and teachers evaluating the program are reported. (MDH)

Presents examples of didactic computer software developed in a college of engineering, along with a discussion of pedagogical and systems considerations. Discusses the use of the computer in relation to Bloom's Taxonomy. Describes the system approach, which is used to sequentially develop valid and relevant software. (TW)

Describes a possible exam or homework problem for a physical chemistry course. Investigates the temperature and concentration dependence of homogeneous chemical equilibria. Provides acceptable solutions. Offers a computer program able to provide partial credit on questions requiring four-seven sequenced items. Program available from author. (MVL)

Describes a program to improve computer expertise, encourage science teachers to use computers in science and technology, and to develop computer methods to enhance student achievement and understanding. Discusses participant selection, a summer institute, followup activities, and a network system. (MVL)

Provides a listing of a software graphics program that investigates the law of reflection and Snell's law of refraction. Written in BASIC for the Apple II personal computer. (MVL)

Provides background material on logic programing and presents PROLOG as a high-level artificial intelligence programing language that borrows its basic constructs from logic. Suggests the language is one which will help the educator to achieve various goals, particularly the promotion of problem solving ability. (MVL)
