| Initiative Title | 3-D Prototyping Laboratory Space |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | We have four 3-D printers and a laser cutter for making models. Currently the equipment is in a closet. We would like to develop a dedicated laboratory space for this state-of-the-art equipment. Ideally the space should have windows facing the hallway so that the public can see the activities and equipment. Given the surging popularity of Maker-Spaces in the region, we believe that this facility would be a draw for our programs. The space would be used for the summer camps and public outreach. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The printers will remain in the closet, which is very cramped and can only be accessed by a few students at a time. The public would not be aware that this equipment is available on campus. Awareness and increases in enrollment may not be optimized. |
|---|
| Department Goals | Goal 3: Be recognized as having the most outstanding science, engineering and architectural programs among our peers locally and regionally, and to enhance the departments visibility both within and outside of the college., Goal 5. Contribute to the economic and social development of the county, region, state and nation by maintaining mutually beneficial partnerships with the public and private sectors. |
