Development of Introductory Physics Workshop for Engineering Students to Meet ABET 2000 Criteria

物理（13）弗吉尼亚大学物理工程联合工作组建议在ABET 2000标准的基础上，为450名工程专业学生重组两个学期的问题会议/介绍性物理实验室。20世纪90年代物理教育研究的结果表明，应该更多地依赖基于计算机的工具和新的教学和评分方法。该项目采用真实的时间物理课程作为每周两小时的力学、热和热力学以及电磁学讲习班/实验室的基础。此外，该项目正在调整和实施尽可能多的示范性商业产品，但以创新的方式利用这些产品。评估和评价将是至关重要的，以改善学生的讲习班经验，并以最好的方式教育他们。 以前没有实验室经验的第一学期课程。本计画是将先前的习题课与实验室结合（仅限第二学期）纳入一个工作坊，包括a）一个工作坊前活动，利用基于互联网的WebAssign程序提出一系列概念和数值问题，为两小时的工作坊做好准备。B）利用真实的时间物理作为计算机工具的实验室经验（探头和软件），让学生主动学习。将有新的计算机的合作学习小组和探测器从帕斯科和游标。c）研讨会后的活动，使用WebAssign上的同行排名论文问题，测试学生对研讨会中提出的概念的理解。

Physics (13) A joint University of Virginia physics-engineering task force has recommended on the basis of the ABET 2000 criteria a restructuring of the two semester problem session/introductory physics labs for 450 engineering students. The results of physics education research in the 1990s indicate that there should be more reliance on computer-based tools and new methods of instruction and grading. The project is adopting the Real Time Physics curriculum as the basis for a new two hour per week workshop/laboratory in mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. In addition, the project is adapting and implementing as many exemplary commercial products as possible, but utilizing these products in innovative ways. Assessment and evaluation will be crucial in order both to improve the workshop experience for students and to educate them in the best way possible. There previously was no lab experience for the first semester course. The project is combining the former problem recitation session and laboratory (second semester only) into a workshop that consists of a) A pre-workshop activity utilizing the internet based WebAssign program to present a series of conceptual and numerical problems to prepare the students for the two hour workshop.b) Utilizing Real Time Physics as the laboratory experience with computer tools (probes and software) to engage students in active learning. There will be new computers for the cooperative learning groups and probes from PASCO and Vernier. c) A post workshop activity using peer ranking essay questions on WebAssign that test the students understanding of the concepts presented in the workshop.
