This program for community college physics teachers is providing four workshops at several community college campuses around the nation. Two of these workshops introduce the use of microcomputer-based laboratories in physics and another covers the development of conceptual exercises and overview case studies. A fourth workshop provides and update and an opportunity for previous participants to work together to develop and exchange appropriate curriculum materials necessary to return to their campuses and start implementing the workshop ideas. The impacts of the workshops are reinforced afterwards by a networking system and a newsletter. These workshops facilitate the incorporation of new knowledge at community colleges which enhances their students' understanding of classical and contemporary physics. The task of updating science education programs at community colleges is important for students (particularly women and minorities) who attend community colleges and who need to be exposed to, and gain experience with, current technology, and who need effective and sensible encounters with physics education.

这个针对社区大学物理教师的项目在全国的几个社区大学校园里提供了四个讲习班。其中两个讲习班介绍了在物理中使用微电脑实验室，另一个讲习班涉及概念练习和概述案例研究的发展。第四次研讨会为以前的参与者提供更新和机会，共同开发和交流必要的适当课程材料，以便回到他们的校园并开始实施研讨会的想法。讲习班的影响后来通过网络系统和通讯得到加强。这些研讨会促进了社区学院新知识的整合，提高了学生对古典和当代物理学的理解。更新社区大学科学教育课程的任务对那些上社区大学的学生（尤其是女性和少数族裔）来说是很重要的，他们需要接触和获得当前技术的经验，需要有效和明智地接触物理教育。
