This project is designed to improve the physics laboratory equipment and instrumentation at North Idaho College in support of a program to develop a contemporary high quality physical science curriculum at the undergraduate level. The opportunity for students' active involvement in a laboratory setting is essential and the absence of modern equipment will adversely affect their attitudes to physics courses. In order to provide a contemporary laboratory capability, the equipment includes computer interface units, smart pulley system and sonic range finder, wave analysis system, precision interferometer, thermodynamics quantitative measurement system, equipment to measure charge to mass ratio, Franck/Hertz critical potentials and electron diffraction, and an electron spin resonance experimental system. The project will provide new and revised laboratory experiments and lecture demonstrations. In addition, it will introduce this capability across other academic disciplines and support a program designed to improve quality of mathematics and science instruction for local teachers in grades 7-12. The college will match the award with an equal amount.

该项目旨在改善北爱达荷学院的物理实验室设备和仪器，以支持在本科阶段开发当代高质量物理科学课程的计划。学生积极参与实验室环境的机会是必不可少的，缺乏现代设备会对他们对物理课程的态度产生不利影响。为了提供现代化的实验室能力，设备包括计算机接口单元，智能滑轮系统和声波测距仪，波分析系统，精密干涉仪，热力学定量测量系统，电荷质量比测量设备，弗兰克/赫兹临界电位和电子衍射，以及电子自旋共振实验系统。该项目将提供新的和修订的实验室实验和讲座演示。此外，它将在其他学科中引入这种能力，并支持一个旨在提高7-12年级当地教师数学和科学教学质量的项目。学院将给予同等数额的奖励。
