It has been recognized that physics graduates progressing to careers in experimental physics in industry or to studies for a higher degree, need on-the-job training in the design and planning stage of experiments. More often than not this training is haphazard, with a good chance that the trainee is self-taught. We believe that the education of our majors will be more complete if their first planning and design assignments are performed with an oversight and feedback from faculty, in a formal course setting. To meet this need we have inaugurated an experimental physics design lab for seniors. A core of equipment has been assembled for the course, and more apparatus is being brought into the laboratory to bring it to its planned stage. The main goals of the teaching mode for the course are to develop initiative, and to instill in the students the need for sound design and planning of experiments. The choice of experiments is based on a number of factors; utilization of a physical principle or technique of wide applicability, available equipment, and non-overlap with experiments in preceding laboratory courses. The experiments chosen also are somewhat open-ended, to meet the goals of the teaching mode.

人们已经认识到，物理毕业生在实验物理学的职业或更高程度的研究中发展，需要在实验的设计和计划阶段进行工作培训。 这种培训通常是随意的，很有可能学员是自学成才的。 我们认为，如果在正式的课程中，通过教师的监督和反馈来执行他们的首次计划和设计任务，那么我们的专业的教育就会更加完整。 为了满足这一需求，我们为老年人开设了一个实验物理设计实验室。 为该课程组装了设备的核心，并将更多设备带入实验室，以将其带入计划的阶段。 该课程的教学模式的主要目标是制定主动性，并向学生灌输需要声音设计和实验计划的需求。 实验的选择是基于许多因素。在实验室课程中的实验，利用具有广泛适用性，可用设备和非重叠的物理原理或技术。 选择的实验也有些开放，以满足教学模式的目标。
