| Free or inexpensive software sources are available for undergraduate students to carry out molecular modeling and other types of computational chemistry. These include the plug-ins and viewers available for the standard, more expensive commercial software packages; student versions of the commercial software packages; commercial database front ends; software packaged with textbooks; releases available from the Journal of Chemical Education; older software available from JCE Software and Project SERAPHIM; web downloads; and web-based interactive java applets. Several of these approaches are introduced at the various Computational Chemistry for Chemical Educators (CCCE) workshops presented by the National Computational Science Institute. Examples of these various approaches will be demonstrated, and information concerning the CCCE workshops will be provided. |
