Development of a Laboratory and Field Program for Undergraduate Geophysics Education

授予华盛顿大学地球和行星科学系的这一奖项是对提交给国家科学基金会仪器和实验室改进计划的一项建议的回应。该合同将提供购买一台重力仪和两台地震仪所需资金的一半。该大学致力于为这台设备提供与NSF相同的捐款。这些设备将用于华盛顿大学的本科生地球物理课程，将地球物理场练习和动手数据收集和分析整合到课程中，否则只能通过讲座和课堂解决问题练习来教授。

This award to Washington University's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is made in response to a proposal submitted to the National Science Foundation's Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program. The award will provide one-half of the funds needed to acquire a gravimeter and two seismographs. The University is committed to matching the NSF contribution for this equipment. The equipment will be used in Washington University's undergraduate geophysics curriculum to integrate geophysical field exercises and hands-on data gathering and analysis into courses otherwise taught exclusively through lectures and classroom problem-solving exercises.
