This project is designed to achieve the following goals: 1) Introduce Workshop Physics style laboratories at the University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse, for an increasing number of students taking calculus physics, and 2) to enhance learning in the physics laboratory for the average student, particularly Physics/Engineering Dual Degree majors and other science majors. The project is using a networked Microcomputer Based Laboratories (MBL) in the laboratories that are part of the calculus based introductory physics courses. These courses, General Physics I, II (Physics 203, 204), are being run very much in the Workshop Physics style, although the formal lecture sessions will be kept as well. Such a model has already been implemented in a modest fashion in the algebra based physics course. Implementing this project is enhancing the education of future scientists and engineers in a cost-effective way. In addition, students in "Broad Field Science," teacher certification program, students satisfying their General Education Program science requirement, and students in various pre-professional programs (medicine, physical therapy etc.),who take this course are also benefiting. Finally, science teachers participating in summer workshops will also use this laboratory.

该项目旨在实现以下目标：1）在威斯康星州-长曲棍球大学引入研讨会物理风格的实验室，为越来越多的学生采取微积分物理，和2），以提高学习在物理实验室的平均学生，特别是物理/工程双学位专业和其他科学专业。该项目正在使用一个网络化的基于微机的实验室（MBL）的实验室，是基于微积分的入门物理课程的一部分。这些课程，普通物理I，II（物理203，204），正在运行在车间物理风格非常，虽然正式的讲座将保持以及。这样的模型已经在基于代数的物理课程中以适度的方式实现。该项目的实施将以具有成本效益的方式加强未来科学家和工程师的教育。此外，学生在“宽领域科学”，教师认证计划，学生满足他们的通识教育计划的科学要求，并在各种专业预科课程（医学，物理治疗等）的学生，参加这门课程的人也会受益。最后，参加夏季讲习班的科学教师也将使用这个实验室。
