The authors report on results of their studies of the cross sections for collisions of low-energy electrons with polyatomic molecules. These results are obtained using a multichannel extension of Schwinger`s variational principle and an implementation of key steps of the associated computational procedure on distributed-memory parallel computers. After a brief discussion of some relevant aspects of the formulation and of their parallel implementation, the authors present results from recent studies of electronic excitation by electron impact in several polyatomic molecules, including SiH{sub 4}, CF{sub 3}Cl, (CH{sub 3}){sub 2}CO, p-C{sub 6}H{sub 4}O{sub 2}, and the C{sub 5}H{sub 6} isomer propellane.
