A microcomputer-based laboratory is being used to introduce an inquiry-based curriculum into the general physics sequence. The student population of the course is approximately half science majors and half secondary education majors. While one of the motivations for the project is to improve the all of the students' understanding of basic physics by using and adapting the well tested Workshop Physics curriculum, there is a particular focus on the pre-service secondary teachers in the course. This focus consists of having "alumni" of the general physics sequence return as peer instructors in both the workshop physics course and the conceptual physics course designed for non-majors. This is being done by having the physics and secondary education faculty work together to effect program changes that would require the secondary education students to have this teaching experience as an internship that would count towards their degree in education. The goals are to further improve the understanding of physics of these science teachers-to-be and to give them some practical experience with an inquiry-based physics curriculum.

一个以微型计算机为基础的实验室正在被用来引入一个探究为基础的课程到普通物理序列。该课程的学生人数约为一半科学专业和一半中等教育专业。虽然该项目的动机之一是通过使用和改编经过测试的物理讲习班课程来提高所有学生对基础物理的理解，但该课程特别侧重于职前中学教师。这一重点包括让普通物理序列的“校友”返回作为同侪导师在车间物理课程和为非专业设计的概念物理课程。这是通过让物理和中等教育教师共同努力来实现的，以实现方案的变化，要求中等教育学生将这种教学经验作为实习，这将计入他们的教育学位。目的是进一步提高这些科学教师的物理的理解，并给他们一些实践经验，以探究为基础的物理课程。
