Development of Computer-based Teaching Laboratories

这个项目将开发一套基于微型计算机的教学合理的实验室实验，用于开始物理课程。此外，它还将把计算机接口和控制引入高等物理实验室。为了实现这些目标，马斯金根将为初级实验室购买带有激光打印机的计算机，为初级实验室购买微型计算机网络，为高级实验室购买带有计算机接口的测量仪器。初级实验中的微型计算机将包括接口，将它们转变为快速、准确、多功能的实验仪器，初级学生可以轻松使用。高级实验室实验的界面将允许学生设计和进行计算机运行的实验。对于初级和高级实验，激光打印机将提供高质量的图形输出，学生将从中提取数据。这个项目将改进物理课程，使实验室更新，更有教育意义，对学生来说更有趣。

This project will develop a set of pedagogically sound microcomputer- based laboratory experiments for beginning physics courses. In addition, it will introduce computer interfacing and control into the advanced physics laboratories. To achieve these objectives, Muskingum will purchase computers with a laser printer, a microcomputer network for the beginning labs and computer-interfaced measurement instruments for the advanced labs. The microcomputers in the beginning labs will include interfaces that turn them into fast, accurate, multipurpose lab instruments that beginning students can use with ease. The interfaces for the advanced lab experiments will allow the students to design and carry out computer-run experiments. For both beginning and advanced labs, the laser printer will provide high quality graphic output from which the students will extract data. This project will improve the physics program by making the labs more up-to-date, more instructive and more interesting for the students.
