This project provides support for a major reorganization of the laboratories for the second half of the introductory physics sequence for all science majors and pre-engineers (approximately 80 students per year). This continues the restructuring of the introductory laboratory sequence for these majors. Four new laboratory modules, Wave Motion, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics, each require 3 or 4 weeks to complete. This project addresses module 1, Wave Motion. New and exciting experiments in wave motion have been formalized to introduce the concepts of simple harmonic motion, superposition, interference, resonance, and Fourier analysis in a way that encourages creative curiosity and relies heavily on the use of analytical techniques made possible by computers. Module 1 was selected for this project in that it will provide for sufficient time and funding for experiment, software, and manual development. The module represents a more loosely structured laboratory than the conventional approach in which everyone does the same experiment at the same time. The involvement of students in discussions with one another and the enhancement of creative curiosity should occur more readily in a less structured environment.

该项目为所有科学专业和预备工程师（每年约80名学生）的物理入门课程的后半部分的实验室重组提供支持。这将继续对这些专业的入门级实验课程进行重组。四个新的实验模块，波动，电学和磁学，光学和现代物理，每个需要3或4周完成。本项目涉及模块1，波动运动。新的和令人兴奋的波浪运动实验已经形式化，以一种鼓励创造性好奇心的方式引入了简谐运动、叠加、干涉、共振和傅立叶分析的概念，并在很大程度上依赖于使用计算机使分析技术成为可能。本项目选择模块1，因为它将为实验、软件和手工开发提供足够的时间和资金。与每个人在同一时间做同样的实验的传统方法相比，该模块代表了一个更松散的实验室结构。学生之间相互讨论的参与和创造性好奇心的增强应该在一个不那么结构化的环境中更容易发生。
