| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | in 2010 our infrared spectrometer finally broke. We purchased a low cost $10,000 unit and have since determined that the unit is unreliable. The laser has broken twice and costs $2500 dollars to replace. Laser was last replaced in spring 2015. We are concerned that it will break again, and would like to plan for a higher quality replacement.
Important component of our university parallel Organic Chemistry Courses. We will probably need grant funding for this equipment, as it is quite expensive. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The existing unoit is unreliable and may need another 2500 dollar replacement laser. |

| Department Goals | Provide a high quality, rigorous and meaningful Engineering curricula which will prepare students for transfer to upper division universities. , Provide a high quality, rigorous and meaningful Astronomy, Geology, Chemistry, Physics and Physical Science curricula which will support SUNY’s general education requirements as well as the requirements of students seeking degrees that are outside of the , Be recognized as having the most outstanding science, engineering and architectural programs among our peers locally and regionally., Enhance the Department's visibility both within and outside of the college. |
