Multiple Track Modern Physics Laboratory for Developing Experimental and Analytical Skills

物理（13）本项目旨在重组印第安纳大学-普渡大学韦恩堡分校的现代物理实验课程，为学生提供深入研究的经验。目前正在开发6条轨道，每条轨道有4个实验。这些课程是(1)激光和光谱学I，(2)干涉测量和傅立叶分析，(3)激光和光谱学II，(4)磁共振，(5)核光谱学，(6)分子光谱学。一个轨道内的实验自始至终使用相同或相似的设备和概念。这样可以让学生充分熟悉概念和设备，这样他们就可以在设计调查，收集适当的数据和分析数据的过程中获得更多的责任和自由。该项目正在调整和实施四个主要要素。(1)从马斯特斯和马洛尼的课程、课程和实验室改进（CCLI）项目（奖励号9950511，“提高普通物理的概念理解和复杂问题解决能力”）中学习到的培养实验设计和分析独立性的程序。(2)从专业实践来看，该项目采用了学生向同学和老师展示海报的做法。(3)同样从专业实践来看，该项目正在实施LabView软件，向学生介绍一个标准的工业工作场所。(4)本项目采用了视觉量子力学项目（奖励号：9452782）的大部分软件作为学生独立学习的资源。

Physics (13)This project is restructuring the modern physics laboratory course at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne to provide students with experience with in-depth investigations. Six tracks of four experiments each are being developed. These tracks are (1) Lasers and Spectroscopy I, (2) Interferometry and Fourier Analysis, (3) Lasers and Spectroscopy II, (4) Magnetic Resonance, (5) Nuclear Spectroscopy, and (6) Molecular Spectroscopy. The experiments within a track use the same, or similar, equipment and concepts throughout. This allows students to become sufficiently familiar with the concepts and equipment so that they can be given more responsibility and freedom as they proceed through the track to design the investigation, collect appropriate data, and analyze the data.The project is adapting and implementing four major elements. (1) It is adapting procedures for fostering independence in experimental design and analysis learned from a Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) project conducted by co-PIs Masters and Maloney (Award No. 9950511, "Improving Conceptual Understanding and Complex Problem Solving in General Physics"). (2) From professional practice, the project is adapting the practice of having students present poster sessions to classmates and faculty. (3) Also from professional practice, the project is implementing LabView software to introduce students to a standard of the industrial workplace. (4) The project is adapting much of the software from the Visual Quantum Mechanics project (Award No. 9452782) as an independent study resource for students.
