Use of Microcomputers in the Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratory: An Absorption Spectrum Experiment.
Terry, Ronald J.; And Others – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Describes a computer program designed to enable undergraduate students to apply computer skills for data acquisition and processing in experimental chemistry. An example is given that examines the absorption spectra of conjugated molecules such as carbocyanine dyes, and the free electron model is explained. (six references) (LRW)

Employing Computers in the Nonscience-Major Chemistry Laboratory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Amend, John R.; Furstenau, Ronald P. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1992
Authors discuss how computer laboratory interfacing has revolutionized their nonscience-major introductory chemistry course. Discusses the advantages of doing away with the "cookbook" approach to laboratory experimentation. Presents an evaluation of the course approach including the finding that over 75 percent of the students felt that…
