The advance of digital technology
presents an opportunity to equip
students with relevant skill sets as “Scientists of the Future”
who are able to utilize knowledge at the interface between various
disciplines. In this technology report, an open source programming
language is used to automate a simple laboratory experiment commonly
performed by Chemistry and Chemical Engineering students. It is introduced
and demonstrated to the students from a 3-year Chemical Engineering
undergraduate program. The aim of this activity is to allow students
to appreciate the integration of knowledge from Chemistry and Computer
Science.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
