The Committee on Computers in Chemical Education (C.C.C.E.) seeks to promote the use of computers and computing in chemical education. We do this by means of this Newsletter, by helping to organize symposia at National Meetings, by sponsoring new initiatives like the Computer Conference to be held this summer (described elsewhere in this Newsletter), by organizing workshops and by holding open meetings at the Biennial Conferences on Chemical Education. Let me describe some future activities and then indicate how you can help.
Symposia at National Meetings: A symposium entitle "Computers in Chemical Education" has been organized for the fall 1993 National Meeting in Chicago. Three half-day sessions will be held "Computer Molecular Modelling" organized by James Beatty of Ripon College, "Intertacing in the Laboratory" organized by Robert Megargle of Cleveland State University, and "Personal Computers in Chemical Engineering Education" organized by Richard McCluskey of Clarkson University.
I am organizing a symposium on the use of computers in high school chemistry, undergraduate general chemistry, undergraduate organic chemistry and undergraduate analytical chemistry courses for the 13th Biennial Conference on Chemical Education being held at Bucknell University from July 31 to August 4, 1994. There will be a one and a half hour session devoted to each of the four topics. In each session there will be two invited speakers and a half hour devoted to discussion, questions and brief comments on the topic by member of the audience.
A symposium on "Computers in Chemical Education" is planned for the fall 1994 National Meeting in Washington, D. C. ThomasO'Haver (University of Maryland) is organizing a session on the use of Internet. Harry Pence is organizing a session on integrating computers into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. A session on "What Chemists Need to Know About Computers and Computing" is being organized jointly with the Division of Computers in Chemistry.
How You Can Help:
We are always looking for material for this Newsletter. Send articles, paragraphs or suggestions to Editor Brian Pankuch. (His address is on the back cover.)
If you are interested in participating in any of our symposia, please contact the session chair. If you have suggestions for symposium topics, please send them to me.
If you have access to Bitnet or Internet, participate in our summer computer conference. If you are unable to participate in all sessions, select a paper or two to read and discuss.
If you would like to suggest some computer related activities or new initiatives, contact me.
We'd like to build our circulation. Share this issue with your friends and make the subscription form available to them.
