Andrea C. Bardales; Quynh Vo; Dmitry M. Kolpashchikov – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
It has been shown that active learning strategies are effective in teaching complex STEM concepts. In this study, we developed and implemented a laboratory experiment for teaching the concepts of Boolean logic gates, molecular beacon probes, molecular computing, DNA logic gates, microRNA, and molecular diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, which…

Computers in the Science Lab.
Tinker, Robert; Barclay, Tim – Classroom Computer News, 1981
The use of computers as laboratory instruments is viewed as overlooked. Numerous applications developed for a simple, single-board microcomputer by a group of Technical Education Resource Centers (TERC) are noted. The trend toward decreasing costs of lab interfacing is expected to continue into the future. (MP)

Local Area Networks: Part II.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dessy, Raymond E., Ed. – Analytical Chemistry, 1982
Discusses five approaches used by industry/colleges to provide local area network (LAN) capabilities in the analytical laboratory: (1) mixed baseband bus network coupled to a star net; (2) broadband bus network; (3) ring network; (4) star network coupled to broadband net; and (5) simple multiprocessor center. Part I (September issue) focused on…

Effects of a Laboratory Design Course on Strategies for Troubleshooting Logic Circuits.
Steinberg, Esther R.; Baskin, A. B. – Engineering Education, 1987
Reports on a study which investigated the effects of having students analyze circuits in the laboratory compared with troubleshooting from homework problems. Results indicated that laboratory experiences provide a richer learning experience than lecture and homework alone. (TW)
