Molecular Computation and Visualization
|
in
Undergraduate Education
|
MoleCVUE is an association of faculty at
PUIs who share the common purpose expressed by our name: Molecular Computation
and Visualization in Undergraduate Education. Participants at recent meetings have come
from a variety of academic institutions.
Our
areas of interest include not only chemistry and biochemistry, but also
material science, molecular biology, and other areas where the ruling paradigm
is "molecules."
Our
objectives are to enhance our own undergraduate instruction by
developing and employing modern computational and visualization tools and to
provide the methods, techniques, and tools we develop freely
to other science instructors.
MoleCVUE provides:
A forum for expressing one's own
ideas and receiving criticism and suggestions;
A channel for awareness of and instruction in computer tools and techniques;
Extended meetings with
like-minded colleagues from which collaborative projects and products may
emerge.
Activities that introduce undergraduate students
to computational chemistry and allow them to present the results of their work.
MoleCVUE was founded at, resides
at, and receives continuing support from Elizabethtown College.
All persons sharing these interests and purpose are invited to
participate.
