| Abstract Title: | Connecting computational and laboratory instruction in physics |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Because "there is a close connection between the skills and practices used in computation and in the laboratory" (AAPT Recommendations for Computational Physics in the Undergraduate Physics Curriculum), there are natural opportunities in the undergraduate physics curriculum for computational and laboratory instruction to complement and reinforce each other. The PICUP and ALPhA (Advanced Laboratory Physics Association) communities provide many examples of integrating computational work and advanced laboratory experiences. These illustrate how connecting computation and experiment can help students develop their physics skills, attitudes, and thinking. |
