This project will introduce faculty in the physical and life sciences           who teach at four-year colleges to the use of computers in experimental         work.  The emphasis will be on learning how computers can be interfaced         to instruments and experimental apparatus for the purposes of                   experimental control and data acquisition.  The activity will involve           both lecture and laboratory work over a four week period.  After an             introduction to fundamentals of digital electronics, signal                     conditioning, personal computer architecture, and programming,                  participants will produce a digital oscilloscope and interface personal         computers to spectrometers and titration apparatus.  Topics will                include serial and parallel data transfer, analog sampling principles,          and integrated circuit timers.  After the instructional phase of the            course, participants will select among a number of specific applications        for further study.  Included among these are examples of interfaces to          spectrometers, a liquid chromatography application featuring computer-          controlled valve manipulation, a Fourier transform infrared                     spectrometer, an X-ray diffraction spectrometer, and two undergraduate          chemistry experiments which use computers to improve the quality of the         data being collected.  The program is intended for faculty who wish to          incorporate computer interfacing into their own teaching of experimental        science.                                                                                                                                                        In addition to the NSF funds, participants' institutions will                   contribute about 5% in travel costs to the operation of the project.
