Physics (13) The Physics and Chemistry Departments are developing and implementing a series of integrated modern physics experiments into upper-level physics laboratory courses and enhancing the optical component of the physical chemistry laboratory curriculum. The project is adapting six innovative experiments that utilize external cavity diode lasers to integrate significant advances from atomic, molecular, and chemical physics research into the laboratory curriculum. The project is drawing ideas from the physics and chemistry literature and making available results from the project to other physicists and chemists.Intellectual merit: The primary objective of the project is to be the centerpiece of an initiative to inject contemporary physics topics and experimental techniques into the physics curriculum earlier and more often. A significant secondary objective is to stimulate student interest in research, and the laboratory topics have been chosen that are relevant to a number of research areas in atomic, molecular, and optical physics. In chemistry, a main objective is to fill specific gaps in the current laboratory curriculum. Both departments expect to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of chemistry and physics, and this project is part of a larger effort, including the creation of the chemical physics major program.Broader impact: The project appreciably enhances undergraduate education in the physics and chemistry departments, and in turn, in South Dakota, a state that has been traditionally underrepresented in scientific education and research funding, particularly in physics. In recent surveys, 37.5% of the physics degrees (2002) and approximately 36% of the chemistry degrees (2001) awarded in South Dakota came from Augustana College. Results are also of wider interest in the physics and chemistry communities.

物理学（13）物理和化学部门正在开发和实施一系列综合的现代物理实验，以进入高级物理实验室课程，并增强物理化学实验室课程的光学成分。 该项目正在调整六个创新的实验，这些实验利用外部空腔二极管激光器将原子，分子和化学物理学研究的重大进展整合到实验室课程中。 该项目正在从物理和化学文献中汲取思想，并从项目中获得其他物理学家和化学家的可用结果。智能优点：该项目的主要目标是成为一项计划的核心，以便更早地和更经常地注入当代物理学主题和实验技术。一个重要的次要目标是刺激学生对研究的兴趣，并选择了与原子，分子和光学物理学的许多研究领域有关的实验室主题。在化学中，一个主要目标是填补当前实验室课程中的特定空白。这两个部门都希望强调化学和物理学的跨学科性质，并且该项目是更大努力的一部分，包括创建化学物理学的主要计划。Broader的影响：该项目可显着增强物理和化学部门的本科教育，而在南达科他州，在传统上是在科学教育方面尤其是在科学教育方面的教育，这是一个又是一个不足的国家。在最近的调查中，有37.5％的物理学学位（2002年）和大约36％的化学学位（2001年）在南达科他州授予的化学学位（2001年）来自奥古斯塔纳学院（Augustana College）。 结果也对物理和化学群落具有更广泛的兴趣。
