The National Computational Science Institute (NCSI) offers a variety of workshops that teach faculty members new skills in computational science. Faculty participants then use these skills to enhance the courses they teach and to perhaps develop new courses. The week-long chemistry workshops have focused on molecular modeling, visualization, and simulation using free or low-cost software. The effectiveness of these workshops will be presented using data from pre- and post-workshop surveys. Longer range assessment is based on the classroom materials that participants have developed for their courses, new courses that have been created, presentations by faculty at professional meetings, and peer-reviewed articles that have been submitted. Other methods to measure the impact of future workshops will also be discussed.

NCSI workshops are ready to help train faculty to use computational chemistry in the classroom
