The objectives of the following summer research project are based on the skills and interests of Ms. Elsa Laughlin. Elsa is currently a Sophomore in Biochemistry. In addition, she has demonstrated in interest in working with UNIX computing systems and network applications.

A previous NSF-STC SURP Summer (1993) Student developed a multimedia module on the topic of "Viscoelasticity". The objective of this summer project will be to create a web tutorial on viscoelasticity based on the information taken from the exisiting multimedia module on viscoelasticity. Depending on time and skills of student we hope to extend the interactivity of this web tutorial by using JAVA. You can download a working copy of the multimedia module from our anonymous ftp site: ftp://ftp.sv.vt.edu/pub/NSF_summer_projects/summer_1993/Visc_Elas/. This file must be unstuffed and un-bin-hexed. When unstuffed these files include a player file that does not need any special software to run on a Macintosh running System 7.0 or higher. Double click on the file named "start".

Participating Faculty:

• Dr. Ron Kriz, Project Advisor
• Dr. Dave Dillard, Technical Advisor
• Dr. Tom Ward, Technical Advisor

With these observations and guidelines we have decided that Ms. Laughlin will:

• Create a web tutorial on viscoelasticity.
• Use JAVA to increase the interactivity of this module.
