An early introduction to computers, during the first year of a pre- engineering or physics program will motivate the students, and enhance their educational experience. Students will learn the hardware, software, and related peripherals, as they learn the concepts of physics. Students will become more familiar with modern data acquisition and analysis techniques, which they are likely to enounter when they transfer to B.S. degree programs in physics or engineering, graduate school, or the work force. To facilitate this goal, the Physics Department of Medgar Evers College will install a computer-based physics laboratory for the first three semester of the four semester introductory calculus level physics course, and integrate its use into five experiments each semester. The computers will be used for data acquisition, analysis and control. The physic laboratory will have 8 work stations centered on the Macintosh SE computer, with MacADIOS Data Aquisition System, and it will contain a local area network with a Macintosh II computer as the file server. The grantee provides funds for this project that are an equal match for the NSF award.

在工程预科或物理预科课程的第一年，早期介绍计算机将激励学生，并提高他们的教育经验。学生将在学习物理概念的同时，学习硬件、软件和相关外设。学生将更加熟悉现代数据采集和分析技术，当他们转到物理或工程学士学位课程、研究生院或工作时，他们可能会遇到这些技术。为了实现这一目标，Medgar Evers学院物理系将在四个学期的微积分水平物理入门课程的前三个学期安装一个基于计算机的物理实验室，并将其应用于每学期的五个实验中。这些计算机将用于数据采集、分析和控制。物理实验室将以Macintosh SE计算机为中心，配备macdios数据采集系统，设有8个工作站，并设有以Macintosh II计算机为文件服务器的局域网。受资助者为该项目提供与NSF奖金相等的资金。
