An Undergraduate Infrared Laboratory at Berkeley

天文学系提供两个本科实验室课程，光学和射电天文学，旨在为天文学专业和未来的天文学专业和物理，工程和物理学专业。课程是严格的，但结构比传统的实验室课程，需要额外的努力和教授的承诺，并导致教师和学生之间的非常密切的接触。这种环境对学生有刺激作用，鼓励更多的学生攻读科学专业。 该系正在增加第三个实验室课程，红外天文学，并正在扩大和改善其设施，以容纳更多的学生。

The Astronomy Department offers two undergraduate laboratory courses, optical and radio astronomy, intended for astronomy majors and prospective astronomy majors and physics, engineering, and geophysics majors. The curricula are rigorous, but less structured than traditional lab courses, requiring extra effort and commitment from the professor and resulting in very close contact between teacher and student. This environment is stimulating to the students and encourages more students to pursue a science major. The department is adding a third laboratory course, in infrared astronomy, and is expanding and improving its facilities to accommodate more students.
