The International Conference on Physics Undergraduate Education will be held from July 31 to August 3, 1996, at the University of Maryland, College Park. The conference is sponsored by the University of Maryland, the American Association of Physics Teachers, the American Physical Society, and the American Institute of Physics, and it will concentrate on the changing role of physics education in the contemporary university. Major issues of the conference are (1) The physics baccalaureate as a passport to the workplace; (2) Physics in the service of students in other sciences and engineering; (3) The physics department's responsibility in pre- and in-service education of teachers. Underlying themes are the (1) changing goals for contemporary students; (2) results of educational research; (4) role of technology in the educational process; (4) challenge to educate all students equitably. The conference is directed by an International Advisory Board who will develop the program and speakers list, and will consist of plenary sessions addressing the issues, poster sessions, and sample classes demonstrating the most innovative and exciting new university physics classes being developed in the world today. The results will be published as a summary and recommendations. The outcome will be a better understanding of the best of physics education throughout the world and a group of about 400 participants who have seen and experienced these developments first hand and can use and build on them.

国际物理学本科教育会议将于1996年7月31日至8月3日在马里兰大学帕克分校举行。 该会议由马里兰大学、美国物理教师协会、美国物理学会和美国物理研究所主办，重点关注物理教育在当代大学中角色的变化。 会议的主要议题是（1）物理学士学位作为职场通行证； (2)物理为其他理工科学生服务； （三）物理系对教师职前和在职教育的职责。 基本主题是（1）当代学生的目标不断变化； （二）教育研究成果； (4) 技术在教育过程中的作用； (4) 挑战公平地教育所有学生。 会议由国际顾问委员会指导，该委员会将制定议程和演讲者名单，并将包括解决问题的全体会议、海报会议和展示当今世界正在开发的最具创新性和令人兴奋的新大学物理课程的样本课程。 结果将作为摘要和建议发布。 其结果将是让约 400 名参与者更好地了解世界各地最好的物理教育，他们亲眼目睹并经历了这些发展，并能够使用它们并在此基础上继续发展。
