The ILI request results from a two and one-half year MVCC Physical Science Department "pilot program". This program involves the laboratory development and testing of microcomputer-based applications to improve the physics laboratory experience and further enhance the students' critical thinking skills. Our objectives are to: (1) modernize performance of certain traditional experiments, (2) provide a platform for Introducing certain cognitive based learning experiences, (3) stimulate learning and creative thinking by the use of numerical based open-ended simulation exercises, and (4) expose students to emerging physics based technologies important to their curricula. Our objectives are being accomplished by the creation of a "state of the art" fully networked Macintosh based physics lab. Eight (8) workstations have been set up in the physics laboratory and are being used to accomplish our objectives. New laboratories and instructional techniques are being developed to integrate the latest in Engineering Physics, General Physics, Descriptive Astronomy, and Photographic Science technologies. Our long range goal is to develop a multi-disciplinary course structure to meet the emerging demands of our four-year transfer institutions.

ILI的申请是MVCC物理科学系为期两年半的“试点计划”的结果。该计划包括实验室开发和测试基于微型计算机的应用程序，以改善物理实验室体验，并进一步提高学生的批判性思维能力。我们的目标是：(1)使某些传统实验的性能现代化，(2)提供一个平台来介绍某些基于认知的学习经验，(3)通过使用基于数值的开放式模拟练习来激发学习和创造性思维，以及(4)让学生接触到对他们的课程至关重要的新兴的基于物理的技术。我们的目标正在通过创建一个“最先进的”完全联网的基于Macintosh的物理实验室来实现。物理实验室中已经建立了八(8)个工作站，并正在用于实现我们的目标。正在开发新的实验室和教学技术，以整合工程物理、普通物理、描述天文学和摄影科学技术的最新成果。我们的长远目标是发展一个跨学科的课程结构，以应付四年制转读院校的新需求。
