Details about = symposium

 

Computational chemistry involves the use of theoretical = methods=20 and computers to solve chemical problems. It has progressed with the = explosive=20 increase of computational power and availability of user-friendly = software.

 

At the start of the = new decade,=20 computational chemistry offers a wide choice of menu for chemistry=20 education. Computational chemistry is integrating the chemistry=20 curriculum at University level and students are taught the basic = principles so=20 that they are well prepared for research projects.

 

This = symposium aims to=20 gather all those using computational chemistry in chemical education to = be on=20 the same platform. Participants can present: (i) their experience in = teaching=20 this component of chemistry; (ii) the results that have been obtained in = using=20 computational chemistry in practicals and research projects and (iii) = any other=20 aspect of computational chemistry in chemical education.

 

Surprisingly, many=20 students and even facilitators view computational chemistry with fear. = One of=20 the outcomes of this symposium is to eradicate any fear and encourages = students=20 and facilitators for a paradigm shift. In this way one will feel more = confident=20 in using computational chemistry to solve problems dealing with = fundamental and=20 applied chemistry.
