Course Modules in Apparatus Design and Experimental Techniques

兰德尔·P·塔格将于1995财年购买9552121 U科罗拉多州丹佛，价值94,547美元，CO 80217-3364ILI-实验室发展的领导力：物理标题：仪器设计和实验技术中的课程模块在科学课程中，在早期阶段对学生进行实验室工作实用技术培训的重视不够。当学生开始本科生的研究项目、工业合作社和工作时，许多人在建造、选择、适应和使用科学设备方面准备不足。本项目将在大学实验室课程的第一年之后，以实际的方法介绍一系列独立的课程模块。六个基础模块组成为期一年的课程：(1.)材料、机械与机械加工；(2)基本电子线路和测量；(3.)信号调理用信号与放大电子学；(4)计算机辅助实验；(5)计量与传感器简介；和(6.)光学系统。高年级选修单元有：(7)真空系统和表面技术；(8)反馈控制；以及(9)激光和放大器光电子学。在五周的时间里，每个模块将涵盖一个主题的少量最基本的方法和技术。每周有90分钟的讨论、演讲和演示以及4个小时的实验。学生将通过他们的项目的个人文件夹来记录他们的实践经验。本课程材料的模块化形式使其很容易适用于其他学院，在那里可以以相同的格式开发更多的主题。学生实验手册、练习、建议的项目、课程透明胶片、演示、软件、设计和部件列表将在互联网上提供并持续更新。

Randall P. Tagg DUE 9552121 U of Colorado Denver FY1995 $ 94,547 Denver, CO 80217-3364 ILI - Leadership in Laboratory Development: Physics Title: Course Modules in Apparatus Design and Experimental Techniques Insufficient attention is given in science curricula to training students, at an early stage, in the practical techniques of laboratory work. When students begin undergraduate research projects, industrial co-ops, and jobs, many are ill-prepared to construct, select, adapt, and use scientific equipment. This project introduces a series of self-contained course modules in practical methods that will come after the first year of college laboratory courses. Six foundation modules form a one year course: (1.) materials, mechanisms & machining; (2.) basic electronic circuits & measurements; (3.) signals & electronics for signal conditioning; (4.) computer-assisted experimentation; (5.) introduction to metrology & transducers; and (6.) optical systems. Upper division elective modules are: (7.) vacuum systems & surface technologies; (8.) feedback control; and (9.) lasers & optoelectronics. In five weeks, each module will cover a small number of the most basic methods and technologies of a topic. There will be 90 minutes of discussion, lecture, and demonstration and four hours of lab per week. Students will document their practical experience through individual portfolios of their projects. The modular form of this course material makes it readily adaptable to other colleges, where further topics can be developed in the same format. Student lab manuals, exercises, suggested projects, lecture transparencies, demonstrations, software, designs, and parts lists will be available and continuously updated over the Internet.
