Data measuring and collection techniques presently used in the Materials Science Teaching Laboratory are replaced by a modern microcomputer driven system. The nucleus of the system consists of three microcomputers which will collect, handle and display experimental date on-line. Labview software will be purchased. This software permits the configuration of an unlimited variety of "virtual instruments" which can be configured to measure, record, indicate, graph or control any desired experimental parameters. Many of the current experiments will require modest equipment modifications in order to generate digital rather than analog output. The computers will allow many groups to work simultaneously. In addition to computerizing the collection of traditional mechanical property data it is proposed to do the same for much of the microstructural data which is also a vital part of materials science. This modernization will more accurately reflect the challenging and dynamic nature of materials science today.

目前在材料科学教学实验室中使用的数据测量和收集技术被现代的微型计算机驱动系统取代。 系统的核由三个微型计算机组成，这些微型计算机将在线收集，处理和显示实验日期。 LabView软件将被购买。 该软件允许配置各种“虚拟仪器”，可以将其配置为测量，记录，指示，图形或控制任何所需的实验参数。 当前的许多实验将需要适度的设备修改，以生成数字而不是模拟输出。 这些计算机将允许许多组同时工作。 除了计算机化传统机械属性数据的收集外，还建议对许多微观结构数据进行相同的操作，这也是材料科学的重要组成部分。 这种现代化将更准确地反映当今材料科学的挑战性和动态性质。
