Introduction to Technical WritingThis project is designed to significantly improve the introductory physics laboratory at Saint Anselm College. It has two specific aims: 1) new sets of experiments allow engineering students and biology students to follow distinct pathways, each suited to the later academic and professional emphases of the individual; and 2) new computer facilities, both hardware and software, allow a new and more modern emphasis on data processing and data analysis, together with special attention to technical writing skills. The introductory physics laboratory is a combined one - it handles students from the calculus-based course (engineering and chemistry students) and from the algebra based course (biology students). The new two-path concept exposes engineering students to experiments dealing with properties of materials, aerodynamics, and the Stirling engine. The biology students follow a track intended to achieve a firm grounding in x-ray properties. The new computer facilities equip an already existing suite of rooms where students gather for study, and pre- and post-lab work. The laboratory reports stress modern technical communications skills, both as to content and form.

技术写作导论本项目旨在显著改进圣安塞姆学院的导论物理实验室。它有两个具体的目标：1)新的一套实验允许工程专业的学生和生物专业的学生遵循不同的道路，每一种都适合个人后来的学术和专业重点；2)新的计算机设施，包括硬件和软件，允许新的、更现代的数据处理和数据分析重点，同时特别关注技术写作技能。入门物理实验室是一个综合实验室--它处理基于微积分课程的学生(工程和化学学生)和基于代数课程的学生(生物学生)。这一新的双路径概念使工科学生可以进行与材料特性、空气动力学和斯特林发动机相关的实验。生物专业的学生沿着一条旨在为X射线性质奠定坚实基础的道路走下去。新的计算机设施配备了现有的一套房间，学生们可以在那里聚集在一起学习，以及实验室前和实验室后的工作。实验室报告强调现代技术交流技能，无论是内容还是形式。
