Physics (13) The project is adapting problem-based learning and infusing modern technology and modern teaching methods into the required first two years of undergraduate laboratories for physics majors. These courses lay the foundation of experimental physics methods and techniques for majors. A thorough examination of the construction of the current courses reveals that significant improvements can be made by implementation of social psychological principles, modern educational methods and modern experimental techniques. In the laboratories, instead of being told what to measure, the students are given modern equipment and taught experimental techniques to enable them to construct their own measurements. Students do projects where the results are used later in the course or in other courses, connecting the activities of the laboratory to real situations. Preliminary efforts in this direction have produced strongly positive results. To evaluate this ambitious and non-traditional approach, there is a sophisticated assessment strategy to be administered by outside assessors. The success of this program will not only benefit one institution, but others dedicated to undergraduate laboratory education.

物理（13）该项目正在调整基于问题的学习，并将现代技术和现代教学方法注入物理专业本科实验室的前两年。这些课程的开设为学生掌握物理实验方法和技术奠定了基础。通过对现有课程建设的深入考察，发现运用社会心理学原理、现代教育方法和现代实验技术，可以使课程建设取得显著成效。在实验室里，不是告诉学生要测量什么，而是给学生现代化的设备，教他们实验技术，使他们能够构建自己的测量。学生做的项目，其结果将在课程后期或其他课程中使用，将实验室的活动与真实的情况联系起来。这方面的初步努力已经产生了非常积极的成果。为了评估这种雄心勃勃且非传统的方法，需要由外部评估员管理一个复杂的评估策略。该计划的成功将不仅有利于一个机构，但其他致力于本科实验室教育。
