Physics (13) This project expands the knowledge base of educational materials, experiments and techniques in atmospheric laser radar (lidar), as well as identifies technical approaches and instructional methodologies that facilitate collaboration and resource sharing across institutions and remotely controlled experimentation. The project installs a lidar facility at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) as well as computer resources for data analysis and project dissemination at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU). Together these two labs form a "collaboratory". A collaboratory is a collaboration between two institutions to provide and share facilities and expertise that enhance the learning for students from both institutions. The project develops a progressive series of modules for integration into physics, computer science, geoscience, and chemistry courses. Two new senior-level courses are being developed in which physics students from CCSU work together with computer science students from SCSU in teams to conduct lidar-based atmospheric science experiments. The project is an adaptation of recent curriculum developments (e.g., Project INTER-MATH, DUE-9455980) as well as a previously supported NSF equipment project, ATM-0116039. The PIs are working with faculty who teach courses from both institutions to integrate the lidar system and its capabilities into the curriculum. The project has an evaluation component and the PIs are publishing the results of this work at conferences, web pages and in peer reviewed journals. This project serves as a national model for cross-institution multidisciplinary team education based on institutional resource sharing.

本项目扩大了大气激光雷达（激光雷达）教材、实验和技术的知识基础，并确定了促进各机构之间的合作和资源共享以及远程控制实验的技术方法和教学方法。 该项目在中康涅狄格州立大学（CCSU）安装了激光雷达设施，并在南康涅狄格州立大学（SCSU）安装了用于数据分析和项目传播的计算机资源。 这两个实验室共同组成了一个“合作实验室”。 合作实验室是两个机构之间的合作，以提供和共享设施和专业知识，提高两个机构的学生的学习。 该项目开发了一系列渐进的模块，用于整合到物理，计算机科学，地球科学和化学课程中。正在开发两个新的高级课程，其中来自CCSU的物理学学生与来自SCSU的计算机科学学生合作，进行基于激光雷达的大气科学实验。 该项目是对最近课程发展的改编（例如，项目INTER-MATH，DUE-9455980）以及之前支持的NSF设备项目ATM-0116039。 PI正在与教授这两个机构课程的教师合作，将激光雷达系统及其功能集成到课程中。 该项目有一个评价部分，项目执行人正在会议、网页和同行评审的期刊上公布这项工作的结果。 该项目是基于机构资源共享的跨机构多学科团队教育的国家模式。
