An Undergraduate Solid State Devices Course Organized About a Practicum-Type Laboratory, with Industrial Participation

本计画是发展一门以半导体装置实验室为中心的固态物理入门课程。本课程的目标是将工业作为一个非正式的积极伙伴参与到教育过程中，并向学生介绍同时进行的随做随学的指导小组经验。本课程的活动旨在让学生体验项目开发式的经历，包括团队和个人的努力，并有机会在积极的行业环境中观察相同的活动。该课程还允许学生在常规的实验室课程中与教师在教育环境中进行互动，此外，学生还可以在合作的工业现场与工业环境中的科学家和工程师进行互动。该课程最初面向物理专业和辅修专业，以及工程技术专业的学生，并计划对其稍加修改，以供教师培训和实地教师使用。

This project is the development of an introductory solid state physics course centered about a semiconductor devices laboratory. The objectives of the course are to involve industry as an informal active partner in the educational process, and to introduce the student to simultaneous learn-as- you-do directed group experiences.The activities of the course are designed to allow the student to undergo a project development-type experience involving team and individual effort and the parallel opportunity to observe, with some participation, the same activities in an active industry environment. It is also organized to allow the student to interact with the instructor in an educational environment in regular laboratory sessions, and in addition to interact through sessions at the cooperating industry site with scientists and engineers in the industrial setting.The course is initially aimed at physics majors and minors, and engineering technology majors, with plans to modify it slightly for teacher training and field teachers.
