Multiple Track Modern Physics Laboratory for Developing Experimental and Analytical Skills

物理（13）本项目正在重组印第安纳州普渡大学韦恩堡的现代物理实验室课程，为学生提供深入调查的经验。目前正在开发六个轨道，每个轨道有四个实验。这些轨道是（1）激光和光谱I，（2）干涉和傅立叶分析，（3）激光和光谱II，（4）磁共振，（5）核光谱，和（6）分子光谱。赛道内的实验始终使用相同或相似的设备和概念。这使学生能够充分熟悉概念和设备，以便他们可以在设计调查，收集适当数据和分析数据的过程中获得更多的责任和自由。该项目采用并实施了四个主要要素。(1)它正在调整程序，以促进实验设计和分析的独立性，从一个课程，课程和实验室改进（CCLI）项目由co-PI大师和马洛尼（奖号9950511，“提高概念理解和复杂问题解决普通物理学”）进行。(2)从专业实践来看，该项目正在调整让学生向同学和教师展示海报的做法。(3)此外，从专业实践中，该项目正在实施LabView软件，向学生介绍工业工作场所的标准。(4)该项目正在改编Visual Quantum Mechanics项目（奖项编号9452782）的大部分软件，作为学生的独立学习资源。

Physics (13)This project is restructuring the modern physics laboratory course at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne to provide students with experience with in-depth investigations. Six tracks of four experiments each are being developed. These tracks are (1) Lasers and Spectroscopy I, (2) Interferometry and Fourier Analysis, (3) Lasers and Spectroscopy II, (4) Magnetic Resonance, (5) Nuclear Spectroscopy, and (6) Molecular Spectroscopy. The experiments within a track use the same, or similar, equipment and concepts throughout. This allows students to become sufficiently familiar with the concepts and equipment so that they can be given more responsibility and freedom as they proceed through the track to design the investigation, collect appropriate data, and analyze the data.The project is adapting and implementing four major elements. (1) It is adapting procedures for fostering independence in experimental design and analysis learned from a Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) project conducted by co-PIs Masters and Maloney (Award No. 9950511, "Improving Conceptual Understanding and Complex Problem Solving in General Physics"). (2) From professional practice, the project is adapting the practice of having students present poster sessions to classmates and faculty. (3) Also from professional practice, the project is implementing LabView software to introduce students to a standard of the industrial workplace. (4) The project is adapting much of the software from the Visual Quantum Mechanics project (Award No. 9452782) as an independent study resource for students.
