(Photo by Peter Frey)</p> <p>The perfect solution<br /> Computer-based teaching revolutionizes freshman chemistry labs</p> <p>By Phil Williams<br /> <a href="mailto:phil@franklin.uga.edu">phil@franklin.uga.edu</a></p> <p>Each week, nearly 2,000 UGA students come into freshman chemistry labs, where they work with retorts and beakers as they learned in high school. But a new twist has been added to labs here--computer-based probes that allow students to perform bench science as researchers do.</p> <p>The change has been dramatic and has improved instructional capabilities remarkably, according to Charles Atwood, coordinator of freshman chemistry.<br /> "This brings us finally into the 21st century," he says. "It allows students to perform experiments quickly and accurately, and so far the results have been amazing."</p> <p>A problem with freshman chemistry labs has always been the intense level of activity required of teaching assistants and professors. TAs particularly had to roam the lab constantly, answering questions, solving problems and giving advice. Now, a single TA at an integrated computer station can monitor the work of 25 students in experiments that test everything from temperature and spectral properties of liquids to the analysis of gases with a spectrometer.</p> <p>The system, built by a Cincinnati company called MeasureNet, involves a series of small two-person computer workstations where students work on experiments, using specific probes for assigned experiments. The result has been an increase in learning speed and knowledge of equipment that is similar to that used in labs where many science graduates may one day work.</p> <p><img src="http://www.measurenet-tech.com/Portals/117882/images/atwood_setup_2.jpg" border="0" alt="atwood setup 2" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" />"The system is extremely user-friendly, and most of it is menu-driven," says Bobby Stanton, general chemistry lab coordinator. "Each system controller is like the brain of the system, and they are really easy to upgrade."</p> <p>Students have reported that learning to use the probes is quite easy, and in short order they are doing everything from determining what ions are in liquid to the elemental content of some substance.</p> <p>Installation of the new lab system began a little over a year ago, and it has only recently been completed as new controllers were added when funds became available.<br /> The upgrades in freshman chemistry labs aren't the only steps forward in the chemistry building. Richard Morrison has overseen an upgrading of the organic chemistry laboratory that now allows students to use cutting-edge diagnostic tools such as infrared spectrometry, gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.<br /> "Two years ago, this was a storage room," says Morrison, as he looks over the high-tech lab. He laughs when he says "this new equipment probably improves us by a century," but he's not really kidding.</p> <p>The new equipment allows smaller groups to perform far more intensive analyses of substances than ever before in UGA history. The spectrometers and magnetic resonance equipment have been up and running for a while, but the gas chromatographs have just come online.<br /> Few teaching labs in the country are so well-equipped, says Morrison. Instead of rudimentary tests, undergraduates can now unravel the actual structure of compounds--something limited in years past to graduate students and faculty. Morrison hopes soon to connect the new equipment in the organic chemistry lab to the MeasureNet system, too, making it easier for students to perform experiments and then save the data on computers.<br /> One of the advantages of the system in the freshman chemistry labs is that, quite soon, all the information from student experiments will be saved to a network server in the chemistry building, from which it can be remotely accessed.</p> <p>"So students could do an experiment here and then go back to their dorm rooms or houses and continue to work on it," says Atwood. Labs will not end when a student leaves the bench but go on as he or she has time later in the day or week.</p> <p>While other U.S. universities are now using computer-storage capabilities for students' bench-science labs, most still require one computer for each workstation, which takes up a tremendous amount of work space. With a single computer hooked to much smaller workstations, which are mounted at eye level off the benches, there?s plenty of space for experiments at UGA. In fact, in terms of numbers of students, UGA is the largest user of this system in the country.</p> <p>All students need to do with the MeasureNet system is plug in the preprogrammed probe for whatever experiment is being run on a specific day.</p> <p>"We were lagging behind, but now we?re on the cutting edge," says Stanton. "The students and TAs have been impressed with what we can accomplish."</p> <img src="http://track.hubspot.com/__ptq.gif?a=117882&k=14&bu=http://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/&r=http://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/bid/86229/Campus-News&bvt=rss">Mark HoffmanTue, 30 Aug 2011 16:25:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:86229http://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/bid/86037/Jensen-Caricatures-Draw-On-History#Comments0Jensen Caricatures Draw On Historyhttp://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/bid/86037/Jensen-Caricatures-Draw-On-History<p><img src="http://www.measurenet-tech.com/Portals/117882/images/christianschoenbein.jpg" border="0" alt="christian schoen bein" /></p> <p>MeasureNet is pleased to announce that its website and newsletters will feature caricatures of notable chemists drawn by Professor William Jensen of the University of Cincinnati. The series will include a brief biographical summary of each individual authored by Jensen. The drawings will appear regularly on MeasureNet's homepage and in its blog beginning in August, 2011.</p> <p>"I'm thrilled to have these Jensen works associated with MeasureNet. "They'll add a very nice visual element to our media products. At the same time, they have a high degree of relevance to chemical education. Bill's drawings fit with our efforts to make the study of chemistry more interesting and germane to students of all academic backgrounds."</p> <p>William B. Jensen, Ph.D. holds the Oesper Chair in the History of Chemistry and Chemical Education at the University of Cincinnati. He is also curator of the Oesper Collection of Rare Books and Portraits in the History of Chemistry and of the department of chemistry's apparatus museum. In the area of the history of chemistry, Dr. Jensen's interests center on the development of late 19th and early 20th century physical chemistry and inorganic chemistry, with special emphasis on the origins of chemical thermodynamics and solid-state inorganic chemistry. He also has made a detailed study of the origins and development of the 19th century scientific community in Cincinnati. Photos of his early 20th-century chemistry laboratory assembled at the University of Cincinnati have been used in MeasureNet brochures and exhibit displays.&nbsp;</p> <img src="http://track.hubspot.com/__ptq.gif?a=117882&k=14&bu=http://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/&r=http://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/bid/86037/Jensen-Caricatures-Draw-On-History&bvt=rss">Mark HoffmanSat, 20 Aug 2011 19:58:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:86037http://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/bid/86146/Appalachian-State-University-Chooses-MeasureNet#Comments0Appalachian State University Chooses MeasureNethttp://www.measurenet-tech.com/the-company/news/news-articles/bid/86146/Appalachian-State-University-Chooses-MeasureNet<p><a class="PopUp" href="http://www.measurenet-tech.com/Portals/117882/images/Appalachian_State_University.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.measurenet-tech.com/Portals/117882/images/Appalachian_State_University.jpg" border="0" alt="Appalachian State University" width="479" height="180"></a></p> <p>August 1, 2008</p> <p>Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina has selected MeasureNet in an upgrade of data acquisition capabilities for its Chemistry Department laboratories. The University is the first institution of higher learning in North Carolina to adopt MeasureNet.</p> <p>Appalachian State's Chemistry Department boasts over 125 majors that include concentrations in forensic and pre-professional areas. Areas targeted for MeasureNet use include the Biochemistry and Quantitative Analysis Laboratories where a special focus will include influent and effluent analyses from the local waste water treatment plant.</p> <p>Opened as Watauga Academy in 1899, the institution's founders were driven my the desire to educate teachers for the mountains of northwest North Carolina. The Academy became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 with an enrollment of over 1,300 students with many enrolling in primary school teaching programs. The University took its current name in 1967.</p> <p>Successive administrations at Appalachian State since the 1970s have focused on academic excellence through the recruitment of first-rate faculty, new international studies programs, and capping resident enrollment at a maximum of 10,000 students. The results of these progressive changes have garnered regular recognition of Appalachian State in national publications such as U.S. News &amp; World Report as one of the outstanding comprehensive universities in the Southeast and nation. The university was selected as Time Magazine's "College of The Year" in 2001.</p> <p>"We are delighted to include Appalachian State University in our community of users." said MeasureNet President Robert Voorhees.

The University is the sixth institution of higher learning in the state to employ MeasureNet in their science teaching laboratories.</p> <p>Founded in 1809 and named after the Miami Indian Nation historically inhabiting the region, the public university is home to over 14,200 undergraduates. College rankings published in 2008 by U.S. News &amp; World Report listed Miami University 27th among the top public universities in the nation, recognizing Miami for providing "outstanding examples of academic programs that are believed to lead to student success." Kaplan Publishing's 2005 edition of The Unofficial, Biased Guide to the 331 Most Interesting Colleges recognizes Miami as one of the country's top schools. The rankings are based on a survey of guidance counselors at public and private high schools. Miami was named one of 30 schools in the United States that offers "an education comparable to that at Ivy League universities at a fraction of the price" in the book The Public Ivies: America's Flagship Universities.</p> <p>According to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry's Professor Neil Danielson, some 150 students per year will utilize the Department's two 12-station MeasureNet Networks. "First year Bachelor of Science chemistry majors laboratory (Sections CHM 153, CHM 161) will initially use the MeasureNet system for titrations and molecular spectroscopy. Some of the same experiments in the third year analytical chemistry laboratory (CHM 364) for BA chemistry majors will also be adapted for MeasureNet"</p> <p>Danielson said that MeasureNet will play an active role in reforming experiments and supporting undergraduate projects. "The MeasureNet system will update titration experiments that still demonstrate important chemistry such as acid-base, precipitation, and metal complexation. In addition, it will provide individual experimentation in molecular spectroscopy. We expect some of the final 'research' projects in CHM 364 will also benefit from MeasureNet equipment use. Currently CHM 455, the advanced instrumental analysis laboratory for BS chemistry majors, has a research component in which I expect MeasureNet could be involved."</p> <p>"It is a pleasure and an honor to welcome Miami of Ohio into our user community." said MeasureNet Director of Marketing Michael Kurutz. "Miami has received many accolades for academic excellence in recent years and MeasureNet will play a key role in supporting the continued quality of the Chemistry laboratory program for many years to come."</p> <p>Miami joins Ohio MeasureNet users Xavier University, Lourdes College, Bowling Green State University-Firelands, Mt.

The networks are being installed, along with new and adapted curriculum, into two newly-renovated laboratories.</p> <p>According to Chemistry Professor Madhumati Mahalingam, the switch to MeasureNet from a previous interface system was driven by a number of concerns. "When we implemented CBL interfaces, we had 12 lab sections with 30 students each. Soon the enrollment increased to 18 labs with 30 students. As a result of the increased usage, we ran into problems pretty soon with link errors between the interface and the calculator because of link cables being worn out or the link connectors on the calculators being worn out. That became quite frustrating. ...We did try to provide our own calculators but couldn't sustain the numbers we were losing each semester."<br> <br> In addition to <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_8e60fa0051fbba4c6b061e262c526e4b2976faf3_hand-held:0">hand-held</span> devices, Mahalingam added that PC-based interfaces were seen as a less than optimal solution for the department's General Chemistry laboratories. "All of these problems prompted me to look for a system that was robust and able to take the wear and tear of the large numbers of students, as well as provide the flexibility of using modern technology and the internet to simplify and reduce the time for data acquisition. We looked to upgrade to computers with the Vernier™ probes but due to the power requirement of installing that many computers in the lab, as well as the added hazard of a corrosive environment for the computers, it did not seem like an ideal choice. In fact, when the two options were presented to the IT department here, they recommended going with MeasureNet. <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_ab47bdc60309538607d1411bb2085afcf19fb2f5_MeasureNet:0">MeasureNet</span> stations are built for the Chemistry lab environment unlike computers.

Today, the university has grown to 87 buildings on a 235-acre campus with 370 faculty and nearly 8,000 students (2006).</p> <p>U.S. News &amp; World Report ranked Tennessee Tech University as one of the top eleven public universities in the South in its <em>2007 America's Best Colleges</em> guide. Placed in the top ranking for five years, the University remains the only Tennessee school to be ranked as a Top Public University in the South according to the guide. Tennessee Tech also was rated by The Princeton Review as a "Best Southeastern College" in 2006 for the third time. It was one of four public institutions in the state to garner the rating. Top quality academics, low cost and exceptional financial aid service earned TTU a spot in the <em>2007 America's Best Value Colleges</em> guidebook published by the Princeton Review and Random House.</p> <p>"Tennessee Tech is a greatly admired institution with a growing reputation and we're please to have them as partners," says MeasureNet President Robert Voorhees. "We congratulate Scott Northrup and his colleagues on their decision and admire their foresight and tenacity. We'd also like to thank Chair Professor Jeffery Boles for his assistance and support."</p> <p>MeasureNet installations now stretch across from east to west in the Volunteer State and include other institutions such as Tennessee State, University of Tennessee Knoxville, and the University of Memphis.</p> <p>MeasureNet Technology Ltd. manufactures patented, network-based data acquisition interfaces for science teaching laboratories.

The community college recently completed an impressive Science Complex that boasts state of the art laboratories, as well as a new planetarium and 20-inch telescope. The 2-year college campus is nestled in high ground just to the east of the San Francisco State Fish and Game Refuge, with its new chemistry labs having impressive views of the Bay below.</p> <p>Under the lead of instructor Michael Clay, the Chemistry Department put MeasureNet to work within two weeks of its arrival. Using experiments adapted and devised during Clay's recent sabbatical at Arizona State University, the department is currently on track to employ its two Networks in 31 experiments during the two-semester General Chemistry sequence. This marks an unprecedented level of utilization in the MeasureNet user community.</p> <p>Aside from normal probeware (temperature, pressure, pH, drop counters voltage, and multi-function colorimeters), numerous experiments utilize MeasureNet's manual entry feature to organize non-MeasureNet data into spreadsheet format. Students conveniently access an entire lab's data via the department's LAN, while instructors then have student data sets from each period 'swept' into a single spreadsheet for easier viewing and analysis.</p> <p>"Because of its network design," according to Clay, "MeasureNet is ideally suited for use as a 'data center,' enabling the direct entry of student data acquired from attached probeware, as well as convenient manual entry. Students then have their own and others data aggregated conveniently for analysis using spreadsheets. No other interface enables this so seamlessly as MeasureNet."</p> <p>Clay's individual experiments will be available to MeasureNet users in early 2007.

San Antonio College</a> of Walnut, California has adopted MeasureNet for three major teaching laboratories in its new state-of-the-art laboratory facility. Located in suburban Los Angeles, the school is one of the largest community colleges in California with a combined 2004-5 enrollment of over 38,000 students. Founded in 1946, Mt. SAC's culturally-diverse campus offers over 200 degree and certificate programs on an expansive 400-acre campus</p> <p>The advanced program was a <em>first adopter</em> of integrated laboratory data acquisition technology. Mt. SAC was one of the initial users of the LabWorks&reg; interface in the late 1980s and in recent times has used calculator-based (CBL) interfaces. The department's Eileen DiMauro commented that main reasons for adopting MeasureNet included "versatility, ease of use, high precision and accuracy, probeware selection, and the ability to perform data acquisitions without PCs at each student workstation."</p> <p>"Everyone at MeasureNet is pleased to have Mt. SAC on board" commented MeasureNet President Robert Voorhees. "Their program is well known for its energy, enthusiasm, and achievement both in Southern California and beyond.&nbsp; Many Mt. SAC faculty members are experienced veterans with electronic data acquisition. Their selection of MeasureNet is a testament to the package of advantages we bring to the lab versus PC and calculator-based systems."</p> <p>Four networks with some forty-eight MeasureNet stations will be deployed in laboratories performing experiments that include pH titrations, kinetics colorimetry, and freezing point depressions.</p> <p>MeasureNet Technology Ltd. manufactures patented, network-based data acquisition interfaces for science teaching laboratories.

KFUPM will have the first MeasureNet System in the Middle East. The installation will include capabilities for shared UV-vis spectroscopy and at-station kinetics experiments.</p> <p>The renown university possesses one of the most advanced training regimens in the region to meet the science, technical, and management challenges posed by Saudi Arabia's vast petroleum and mineral resources. KFUPM was created by royal degree in 1963 and originally enrolled 67 students.&nbsp;In 2003-04, the all-male student population reached over 10,000 individuals.</p> <p>Located in Dhahran, the campus is a neighbor to key institutions including the Saudi Ministry of Petroleum and the headquarters of Saudi Aramco (which alone employs 56,000 workers in petroleum exploration, extraction, processing, distribution, and administration). The KFUPM campus has a desert climate similiar to Palm Springs, California.</p> <p>"We are delighted that KFUPM's chemistry program has become a member of the MeasureNet community" said MeasureNet President Robert Voorhees. "As the preeminent science and technology institution on the Arabian Peninsula, the university's laboratories help prepare highly-skilled graduates for technical and leadership positions in the region's booming economy. I hope MeasureNet will play a key role in making the student laboratory experience even more relevant."&nbsp;</p> <p>MeasureNet Technology Ltd. manufactures patented, network-based data acquisition interfaces for science teaching laboratories.
