| Abstract Title: | Skill Development in Physics Labs Beyond the First Year |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | The recent AAPT recommendations on the laboratory curriculum and on computational physics, as well as the Phys 21 report from the APS and AAPT Joint Task Force on Undergraduate Physics Programs, encourage physics programs to prepare students for a range of opportunities after graduation through a curriculum that develops and reinforces of a set of transferrable skills and knowledge. The laboratory is an ideal venue for developing many of the skills discussed in these documents, including design, technical, analytical, and communication skills. This talk will address innovative ways to implement these recommendations throughout the upper level laboratory curriculum, examples of revised curricula from Lewis University and other institutions, methods of evaluating skill development in the lab, and opportunities for developing new assessments. |
