一、中文摘要 本研究計畫提出 Web-based 的計算機 基礎課程及計算機應用在化工課程的教材 製作。有關計算機基礎課程方面，本計畫 完成了以 JavaScript[1]手稿語言(script language)為主之計算機基礎教學教材，計 畫成果之特色是利用 Flash[2,3]於 Web 瀏 覽器動畫的功能，來說明程式變數與記憶 體間之動態關係和程式指令對應於電腦執 行之循序動作，學生對教材內容及展現的 動畫反映良好。在計算機應用於化工教學 方面，本計畫以典型化工常見的問題，包 括數據處理、泡點測定、系統穩定性判斷、 非線性化學反應系統、管式反應器設計和 二元成分蒸餾塔設計等主題，來說明應用 計算機求解矩陣運算、迭代運算、多項式 運算、常微分方程初值問題和差分近似積 分運算等技巧。 關鍵字：JavaScript、Flash、全球資訊網、 化工計算機教學 AbstractIn this research project, we propose a web-based educational instruction to the course of computer language and its applica-tions in chemical engineering. We have ac-complished a JavaScript-based teaching ma-terial for the course of the computer language. A significant feature of the proposed teaching material is that it explains the dynamic rela-tionship between variable declaration and memory allocation, and the sequential opera-tions related to program statements by utiliz-ing the plug-in function of Flash animations
in WWW browser. The accomplishments have gained a great of good responses from students. In the applications of computer education in chemical engineering, some typical problems often occurred in chemical engineering, including experiment data proc-essing, bubble point determination, system stability, nonlinear chemical reaction system, tubular reactor design and binary components distillation, are used to explain the computa-tion techniques about matrix operacomputa-tions, it-eration opit-eration, polynomial opit-eration, ini-tial value problem for ordinary differenini-tial equation, and approximation of integration.

4 學方面，本計畫以典型常見化工的問題來 說明應用矩陣運算、迭代運算、多項式運 算、RungE-Kutta 法和差分近似積分等尋求 數值解的技巧。本計畫的成果可做為一學 期計算機程式課程教材，有關應用教學方 面學生之教學反映尚在評估中。 五、參考文獻 [1] http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/ 3.0/ handbook/javascript/index.html [2] Macromedia Flash MX: Using Flash,
