The Department of Biology is making IBM-compatible microcomputers          available to its students at all levels of the Ecology curriculum.  The         inadequate computer hardware and software within the department                 previously available for student use is being augmented by laptop               microcomputers to collect and analysis data both in the field and in            the laboratory; external hard drives to provide storage space for data;         professional-level statistical software packages; dot-matrix printers;          a plotter; and a video projection system.                                                                                                                            The courses in which computers are having the greatest immediate           impact are "Computers in Biology" and "Ecology", both of which are              intermediate-level courses, and "Population Biology", an advanced-level         seminar course that includes an independent research project.  Other            courses that benefit from the equipment include "Introductory Biology",         "Limnology", and advanced-level research oriented courses.  The                 computer expertise developing in the department, together with a strong         university commitment to computing, justify the development of a                biology curriculum in which computers play an important role.                                                                                                        The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal            sum obtained from non-Federal sources.
