The goals of this project are to improve the quality of physics instruction at this institution by enhancing and updating the laboratory equipment and curricula; to increase enrollment and retention of students in mathematics- and science-related programs of study; and to increase the enrollment of women, minorities, and undeclared majors in careers in science by providing resources to aid in the instruction and application of knowledge. The department is using microcomputer-based laboratory experiments in data acquisition, analysis, and presentation in undergraduate physics and physical science laboratories in the areas of mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, electrical and magnetism, and optics. Microcomputer-based laboratory experiments are being designed to enable students to gain hands-on experience with new technology while reinforcing traditional instructional methods. These enhanced laboratory experiences provide students with effective learning to support lecture theory. In addition to increasing learning, exposure to current laboratory instrumentation and technology makes students more competitive upon transfer to a senior institution or entrance into the workforce. Previously, there had been no classes in the curricula of Elementary Education, Pre-Professional Engineering, or Science in which students experience this type of computer utilization. The project supports seven microcomputer workstations equipped with seven computers, appropriate software, and supplementary laboratory equipment. This configuration supports all of the redesigned and newly developed laboratory experiments. Up to 102 students enrolled in Physics and Physical Science courses may benefit and be better prepared for the technologies of the 21st century.

该项目的目标是通过加强和更新实验室设备和课程来提高该机构的物理教学质量；增加数学和科学相关学习项目的学生入学率和留存率；通过提供资源帮助教授和应用知识，增加女性、少数民族和未申报的专业在科学职业中的入学率。该系在力学、热学和热力学、电学和磁学以及光学等领域的本科物理和物理科学实验室中使用基于微型计算机的实验室实验来获取、分析和展示数据。正在设计基于微型计算机的实验室实验，使学生能够在加强传统教学方法的同时，获得对新技术的实践经验。这些增强的实验室体验为学生提供了有效的学习来支持讲课理论。除了增加学习，接触当前的实验室仪器和技术使学生在转到高级机构或进入劳动力市场后更具竞争力。以前，在基础教育、职业前工程或科学课程中，没有任何课程让学生体验这种类型的计算机使用。该项目支持7个微型计算机工作站，配备7台计算机、适当的软件和辅助实验室设备。这种配置支持所有重新设计和新开发的实验室实验。多达102名参加物理和物理科学课程的学生可能会受益，并为21世纪的技术做好更好的准备。
