Physics Laboratory Enhancement in Computer Interfacing and Instrumentation

该大学提供了一个名为“计算机接口和仪器”的高级本科实验室课程，该课程探讨了将数字计算机连接到实验室模拟世界的方法。 学生学习使用接口计算机进行测量，控制实验和处理存储数据的概念，原理和技术。 该课程具有跨学科的特点，因为它开发了电子和计算机技能，以及物理学和相关领域研究的实验方法。 该项目通过购置最先进的教学技术，为实验室的现代化提供资金。 该课程的范围和重点正在显着扩大，包括广泛的新实验和个人学生项目的可能性。 盲人学生和其他残疾人也可以入住。 处理噪声，信号平均和频谱分析的课程部分正在扩大，并且正在开发一套视频数据采集和分析的实验。 新课程为学生的职业生涯做好准备，使他们能够应对实验室计算机化的挑战。

The university offers an advanced undergraduate laboratory course entitled "Computer Interfacing and Instrumentation," which explores the methodology for linking a digital computer to the analog world of the laboratory. Students learn about the concepts, principles, and techniques for using interfaced computers in making measurements, controlling experiments, and processing stored data. The course has an interdisciplinary character, as it develops skills in electronics and computers, as well as experimental methods for research in physics and related fields. This project provides funds for the modernization of the laboratory, through the acquisition of state-of-the-art instructional technology. The scope and emphasis of the course is being significantly extended, with the inclusion of a wide range of new experiments and possibilities for individual student projects. Blind students and others with disabilities can be accommodated. The sections of the course dealing with noise, signal averaging, and spectral analysis are being expanded, and a set of experiments is being developed in video data acquisition and analysis. The new course prepares students for careers in which they will be able to meet the challenges of laboratory computerization.
