Physics(13) The Department of Physics at Lawrence University, recognizing a need for greater innovation in the American workplace to arrest the current slippage in U.S. competitiveness worldwide, is investigating how to teach innovation as part of the undergraduate physics curriculum. A four-step methodology is being developed that will be implemented in two learning settings: summer research participation and two academic-year, laboratory-rich courses. The instructional steps include: 1) introducing students to innovation, 2) choosing targets for innovation, 3) moving ideas into action, and 4) testing and revising. With the expertise and equipment currently available at Lawrence, innovative work is focusing on the areas of optics and plasma physics. As the project progresses, course materials, laboratory instruction sets, selected observations and possible videos are to be developed and disseminated.

物理学（13）物理系在劳伦斯大学，认识到需要在美国的工作场所更大的创新，以阻止美国目前的下滑全球竞争力，正在研究如何教创新作为本科物理课程的一部分。 正在制定一个四步方法，将在两个学习环境中实施：夏季研究参与和两个学年，实验室丰富的课程。 指导步骤包括：1）引导学生创新，2）选择创新目标，3）将想法转化为行动，4）测试和修改。 随着专业知识和设备，目前在劳伦斯，创新的工作集中在光学和等离子体物理领域。随着项目的进展，将编制和分发课程材料、实验室指令集、选定的观察结果和可能的录像带。
