| Initiative Title | Update equipment in science laboratory classrooms |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2011 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The laboratory equipment is fairly old and needs to be systematically replaced and upgraded. The department has obtained grants for some large pieces of equipment but a yearly fund is needed to steadily update/ modernize the labs. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | These labs directly support the Gen Ed Natural sciences, AS engineering, the AS MAth & Science, and offer Support courses for many other degrees on the campus. It will become increasingly more difficult to offer quality lab courses if the equipment is not regularly replaced/updated. |
|---|
| Department Goals | 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., 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 , Hire, develop and retain diverse, high quality faculty and staff to engage and support students in science, engineering and architectural education, research and development., Be recognized as having the most outstanding science, engineering and architectural programs among our peers locally and regionally. |
