In 1992, The Biology Department received the
first of 2 NSF grants to facilitate the use of computers and other
technology in the department. That first grant was followed by a
second grant in 1998, and Marietta College itself replaced all the
computers in the lab and classrooms in 2001. These grants, coupled
with equipment bought with additional NSF research grants allow our
students to use digital technology to acquire, analyze, interpret, present
and store data. Our facilities include: |
