Microcomputer-Based Laboratories (MBL) for Two-Year College Introductory Physics Courses

这个项目的目的是(1)调整和改进现有的基于微型计算机的实验室(MBL)课程材料，以适应两年制的大学环境，以及(2)通过开发额外的MBL课程来扩展这一领域，为入门物理实验室提供更完整的实验活动集合。目标实验室包括基于微积分的课程、基于三角的课程、基于概念的(文科)课程和技术物理(面向技工/职业生)课程。这些课程内容首先在两个不同的两年制大学实验室进行测试，然后在其他几个两年制大学进行进一步测试。

The intent of this project is to (1) adapt and refine for the two-year college environment existing microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) curriculum materials and (2) to extend this area by developing additional MBL curriculum pieces that provide a more complete collection of laboratory activities for introductory physics laboratories. The targeted laboratories include the laboratory from the calculus-based course, trigonometry-based course, conceptual-based (liberal arts) course, and the technical physics (for technical/vocational students) course. These curriculum pieces are being initially tested at two different two-year college laboratories and then tested further at several other two-year college sites.
