Integrating the Microcomputer in Student-Oriented Introductory Physics Laboratories

肯塔基大学哈扎德社区学院将购买一套科学和计算设备，以改善物理实验入门课程的教学。这些设备包括空气轨迹、示波器、函数发生器、微型计算机接口、传感器和运动传感器，将使学生获得使用现代数据采集和分析技术的“动手”经验。该设备提高了速度和准确性，使学生能够探索广泛的基本物理现象，并有助于他们更好地理解潜在的物理原理。肯塔基大学危险社区学院将提供等额的资金。

The University of Kentucky Hazard Community College will purchase a complement of scientific and computational equipment to improve instruction in introductory physics laboratory courses. The equipment, which includes air tracks, oscilloscopes, function generators, microcomputer interfaces, sensors, and motion transducers will allow students to obtain "hands-on" experience in the use of modern techniques for data acquisition and analysis. The improved speed and accuracy achievable with this equipment will allow students to explore a wide range of basic physical phenomena, and should help them gain greater understanding of the underlying physical principles. The University of Kentucky Hazard Community College will match this NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
