Sophisticated scientific workstations running powerful software are essential tools for practicing scientists and engineers, but undergraduate curricula nationwide are not responding vigorously to the challenge and opportunity provided by these devices. In response, the Lawrence Department of Physics will construct a computation laboratory to support a major restructuring of its undergraduate physics curriculum. The first phase of this project will build familiarity with computer-based tools by introducing suitable examples and exercises into the intermediate-level core of courses. As the students advance, more sophisticated exercises will be incorporated into advanced offerings. Through curricular revision, a departmental environment will be created within which Lawrence undergraduates will become expert at using state-of-the-art computing tools intelligently, effectively, extensively, and independently. At the same time, the Department will be conducting a pilot project whose results will influence the course of physics instruction at other schools during the coming decades. The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal sum obtained from non-Federal sources.

运行强大软件的先进科学工作站 是实践科学家和工程师的基本工具，但 全国范围内的本科课程没有做出积极的反应 这些设备带来的挑战和机遇。 在 作为回应，劳伦斯物理系将建立一个 计算实验室，以支持其重大重组 大学物理课程 的第一阶段 项目将通过以下方式建立对基于计算机的工具的熟悉 介绍适当的例子和练习， 中级核心课程。 随着学生的进步， 更复杂的演习将被纳入先进的 供品。 通过课程修订， 将创造一个环境，其中劳伦斯本科生 将成为使用最先进计算工具的专家 智能地、有效地、广泛地、独立地。 在 与此同时，该部将开展一个试点项目， 其结果将影响到物理教学过程 在未来的几十年里，在其他学校。 受赠机构正在将NSF奖项与同等奖项相匹配 从非联邦来源获得的金额。
