Physics Instructional Laboratory Modernization Project

小米尔斯9351022 为第一门微积分基础的入门物理课程的学生提供的实验室正在升级，以包括在实验中使用计算机技术。 学生们正在连接设备，将数据直接输入文件进行分析。 正在使用图表进行数据分析和绘制图表。 这些练习也被选择来完成传统背诵课的一些功能。 预计这将提高实验水平和学生对概念的理解。 所取得的经验为规划其他入门实验室的现代化提供了基础。

9351022 Mills The laboratory offerings for students in the first calculus-based introductory physics course is being upgraded to include the use of computer techniques in the experiments. The students are interfacing equipment to enter data directly into files for analysis. Spreadsheets are being used for data analysis and graph preparation. The exercises have been selected to fulfill some of the functions of a traditional recitation session as well. It is expected that this will improve both the levels at which the experiments are done and the students' comprehension of the concepts. The experience gained is providing a basis for planning modernization of the other introductory laboratories.
