Microcomputer Based Laboratory Workshop

来自西南部的30名本科物理教师 该国正在接受强化培训， 微型计算机到本科物理实验室。 车间 正在进行的专家从大学，其中有广泛的 通过为他们的实验室配备 微型计算机，以简化数据的收集，并允许更多 待研究的高级现象。 参与者正在 从该地区的两年制和四年制学院中挑选， 向那些为大量人口提供服务的机构提供的资金 西班牙裔和美洲原住民学生。 在这一周里，参与者 正在听取专家讨论和演示设备， 这些实验提高了物理实验室的质量。 在 下午，与会者使用下面讨论的设备， 同样的专家指导。 研讨会介绍了 本科教师的概念，以微机为基础的实验室 以及使这种创新成为可能的数据处理概念。 他们正在熟悉设备的操作， 希望他们和他们的学生能够更好地准备， 把微型计算机应用于物理学研究。

Thirty undergraduate physics faculty from the southwestern section of the country are receiving intensive training in the application of microcomputers to undergraduate physics laboratories. The workshop is being conducted by experts from the university, which has an extensive program to modernize their laboratories by equipping them with microcomputers to simplify the collection of data and permit more advanced phenomena to be investigated. The participants are being selected from two and four-year colleges from the region with preference given to those from institutions servicing significant numbers of Hispanic and native American students. During the week the participants are listening to experts discuss and demonstrate equipment and experiments which have improved the quality of physics laboratories. In the afternoons, the participants are using the equipment discussed under the direction of the same experts. The workshop is introducing the undergraduate faculty to the concept of microcomputer based laboratories and to the data processing concepts that make this innovation possible. They are becoming familiar with the operation of the equipment and it is expected that they and their students are becoming better prepared to apply microcomputers to the study of physics.
