This project establishes a regional coalition of two-year colleges for the purpose of faculty enhancement in physics and physical science teaching.Twenty teachers from two-year colleges in this region are studying computational physics, classroom methods, and communication during a one-week workshop at Henderson State University. The materials used in the workshop were developed by the project director with partial support from the National Science Foundation. These materials have been the subject of two textbooks published by major publishing companies.Following the initial workshop, participants complete individual investigations in computational physics and report the results of these activities during a two-day follow-up session. Participants gain both useful teaching methods and an opportunity to remain intellectually vigorous within their discipline.

该项目建立了一个区域性的两年制大学联盟，旨在提高物理学和物理科学教学方面的师资力量。来自该地区两年制大学的20名教师在亨德森州立大学参加了为期一周的研讨会，学习计算物理、课堂教学方法和交流。讲习班使用的材料是由项目主任在国家科学基金会的部分支持下开发的。这些材料已成为主要出版公司出版的两本教科书的主题。在第一次研讨会之后，参与者完成了计算物理学的个人研究，并在为期两天的后续会议上报告了这些活动的结果。参与者既获得了有用的教学方法，又有机会在自己的学科中保持智力活力。
