Laboratory for Modern Optics Using the Comprehensive Unified Physics Learning Environment

该项目利用了教育技术的最新进展 和电脑为大学生提供互动的访问 到全方位的实验室光学技术，从 从最简单到最新的高科技光学， 成本和统一的学习经验，在物理和 工程. 需要在以下领域发挥国家主导作用： 光学信息的快速和精确处理需要 学生谁是良好的和一贯的培训跨越 物理学和工程学中的光学光谱。 该项目 CUPLE（Comprehensive Unified Physics Learning） 环境）程序，它提供了一个基础的计算 视频技术。 它提供了一个广泛的访问， 光学技术的一致方式，使 学生以互动方式从熟悉到不熟悉 熟悉的材料。 这个计划是全面的，因为它 借鉴了课堂，实验室， 讲座演示和计算机辅助材料的开发 由一群优秀的教育工作者组成， 为学生，讲师， and experimentailsts实验者across横过different不同applications应用and 不同的介质，如实验室仪器，数据阵列， 图形显示和视频记录。 这种方法可以 使更多的本科生更接近， 更能及时灵活的联系实验室经验 相比之下， 常规方法。 本项目正在开发一套 现代光学组合教学的实验模块 模拟和CUPLE环境中的实验。

This project utilizes recent progress in educational techniques and computers to provide undergraduates with interactive access to a full range of laboratory optical technology, from the simplest to the latest high technology optics, while reducing cost and unifying the learning experience in physics and engineering. The need for national preeminence in the area of rapid and precise handling of optical information requires students who are well and consistently trained across the spectrum of optics in physics and engineering. The project is based in CUPLE (Comprehensive Unified Physics Learning Environment) program, which provides a base of computational and video techniques. It provides access to a broad range of optics technology in a consistent manner that enables the student to move in an interactive manner from familiar to less familiar material. This program is comprehensive, because it draws on innovative developments in classroom, laboratory, lecture demonstration, and computer based materials developed by a consortium of excellent educators and unified in that it presents a consistent user interface to students, lecturers, and experimentailsts across different applications and different media, such as laboratory instruments, data arrays, graphical displays, and video recordings. This approach can bring a larger number of undergraduate students into closer and more timely contact with laboratory experience in a flexible manner at significantly reduced cost as compared to conventional methods. The present project is developing a set of trial modules on modern optics combining instruction simulation, and experiments within the CUPLE environment.
