Equipment Acquisition/Development of a Multi-Use Physical/ Computer Science Laboratory

这个项目实现了第二个计算机实验室，包括最新的成像和多媒体相关硬件。它将用于传统和非传统的物理、天文学、化学和计算机科学课程。新的实验室空间将满足以下目标：1。提高所有课程的教学质量；开发和实施新的多学科服务课程，主要旨在改善非理科生的“定量科学体验”；3. 使现有课程现代化，并在新获得的计算机科学和数据处理/编程和系统课程中开发创新课程；4. 包括使用Java、成像、应用程序、数字视频和多媒体开发工具等语言进行面向对象编程；5. 扩大我们的“以计算机为基础的实验室”的使用，包括物理科学、计算机知识、成像和多媒体应用等多学科培训，以供摄影师、美术艺术家和平面艺术家等外部执业专业人士使用；6. 通过技术课件和与当地教师学习中心合作举办讲习班，协助培训新的初等教育教师和在职的初等和中等教育工作者。＊

This project implements a second computer laboratory to include the latest imaging and multimedia related hardware. It will be used with traditional and non-traditional Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry and Computer Science courses. The new laboratory space will meet the following objectives to: 1. improve the instructional quality in all of our courses, 2. develop and implement new multidisciplinary service courses aimed primarily at improving the "quantitative science experience" for non-science students; 3. modernize existing courses and develop innovative courses within the newly acquired computer science and data processing/programming and systems curricula; 4. include object oriented programming with languages such as Java, imaging, applications, digital video and multimedia development tools; 5. expand our "computer based laboratory utilization to include multidisciplinary training in physical science, computer literacy, imaging and multimedia applications for outside practicing professionals such as photographers, fine and graphic artists; 6. assist with the training of new elementary education teachers and in-service elementary and secondary educators by technology courseware and the offering of workshops in conjunction with the local teacher learning centers. *
