| Initiative Title | 3-D Prototyping Laboratory Space |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2017 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Through donations and grants our department has obtained four 3-D printers and a CO2 laser cutter for making models. Currently the equipment is in a closet. We would like to develop a dedicated Rapid Prototyping Laboratory space in RCSE 310 to house this state-of-the-art equipment. RCSE 310 is ideally situated in that it is near the architecture suites and has 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. We plan to develop a new course on 3-D printing that we would offer to the public on Saturdays and evenings. |
|---|
| 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 1 A. Provide a high quality, rigorous and meaningful Engineering curricula which will prepare students for transfer to upper division universities., Goal 1B. Provide a high quality, rigorous and meaningful Architectural curricula which will prepare students for transfer to upper division universities or entrance into the global workforce., Goal 4. Maintain knowledge, experiential, and technological currency in our programs. |
