Experimental Physics Design Laboratory

人们已经认识到，物理学毕业生的进展， 从事工业实验物理学或研究 更高的学位，需要在职培训的设计和 实验计划阶段。 通常情况下， 培训是偶然的，学员很有可能 自学成才 我们相信，我们的专业教育将 如果他们的第一个规划和设计任务 在教师的监督和反馈下进行， 正式的课程设置。 为了满足这一需求，我们已经开始 为高年级学生开设的物理设计实验室。 的芯 设备已组装的过程中，和更多的仪器 被带到实验室， 阶段 该课程教学模式的主要目标是 培养学生的主动性， 进行合理的实验设计和规划。 的选择 实验是基于一些因素;利用一个 广泛适用的物理原理或技术， 现有的设备，并不重叠的实验， 实验室前期课程 选择的实验也是 有点开放式，以满足教学模式的目标。

It has been recognized that physics graduates progressing to careers in experimental physics in industry or to studies for a higher degree, need on-the-job training in the design and planning stage of experiments. More often than not this training is haphazard, with a good chance that the trainee is self-taught. We believe that the education of our majors will be more complete if their first planning and design assignments are performed with an oversight and feedback from faculty, in a formal course setting. To meet this need we have inaugurated an experimental physics design lab for seniors. A core of equipment has been assembled for the course, and more apparatus is being brought into the laboratory to bring it to its planned stage. The main goals of the teaching mode for the course are to develop initiative, and to instill in the students the need for sound design and planning of experiments. The choice of experiments is based on a number of factors; utilization of a physical principle or technique of wide applicability, available equipment, and non-overlap with experiments in preceding laboratory courses. The experiments chosen also are somewhat open-ended, to meet the goals of the teaching mode.
