Miscellaneous items for School of Art Computer Center

School of Art, Art History, and Design

Requested:

$12,616

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$12,616


Abstract

The School of Art + Art History + Design (SOA+AH+D) is seeking to upgrade and add to equipment housed in our long-running checkout center and to refurbish a popular high-end near drum quality film scanner.


Student Publication Technology Refresh

Student Publications

Requested:

$36,986

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$37,397


Abstract

Continued access to sufficient high-quality equipment is critical to our continued ability to create opportunities for students who want to participate in student-run media. We used to be all about the printed newspaper. Now we produce a newspaper in print and on-line, and share photos, videos, articles and other content on a multitude of platforms: our own Snapchat channel, Instagram, Twitter, website, podcasts and streaming audio content, YouTube, and Facebook, among others. As our reach expands, more students find our work interesting and want to be part of it. We also consistently publish information about people and groups on campus that get very little recognition beyond their core groups. These range from under-represented minorities, to non-revenue generating sports.


Mathematica for student personal computers

College of Engineering

Requested:

$11,010

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$11,010


Abstract

The proposal is a request to license Mathematica software for student personal computers, as well as allow students to run Mathematica remotely from the comfort of their own home, on UW remote desktop clusters. This is a one year lease. STF has licensed Mathematica in this manner the past 5 years. Since the last renewal of the license in June 2017, 1266 students have requested Mathematica for their personal computers. Many others run Mathematica remotely on UW remote desktop clusters.


Revised - Student Veteran Life Computer Lab Expansion

Student Veteran Life

Requested:

$9,355

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$9,355


Abstract

One of the key findings of the 2014 UW Assessment of veteran services was that a multi-use community center was key to the long-term success of student veterans at UW. This center should be designed to satisfy the academic, professional, and community needs of our military veterans. Since the inception of our center in 2016, the continued demand and needs of our student veterans has exceeded our current capacity. To answer those aforementioned needs, we are asking for funding of 2 laptops, 1 printer, a tablet with digital pencil, 2 smart pens and 5 wireless headphones, totaling $27,620.16.


Electronic Leak Detector

School of Environmental and Forest Sciences

Requested:

$1,079

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$1,079


Abstract

This proposal is requesting support for the acquisition of an electronic leak detector to be kept in the biofuels and bioproducts laboratory and used by all analytical technicians on campus. The availability of this leak detector in our lab will save us a lot of time and resources by providing a direct method for detecting very small leaks in a number of different analytical instruments we have around our lab. It is imperative that the analytical instruments in our lab function at full capacity for the proper characterization and quantification of the aviation "drop-in" fuels we create. This leak detector would help with the creation of aviation fuels by insuring there are no leaks in complex micro-scale and lab scale reactors, provide a quick way to make sure all gas chromatography and elemental analysis is not providing a false output, and allow for detection of leaks in systems where liquid surfactants are prohibited.


Updating technology for the digital drawing in School of Art.

School of Art, Art History, and Design

Requested:

$21,657

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$21,657


Abstract

The division of Design in School of Art + Art History + Design is proposing the addition of equipment related to digital drawing production. For students who strive to learn advanced levels of the visual technique, it will be especially beneficial to have more experiences using digital technology that allows them to meet the current industry standards.


Laptops for Online Video Consults and Outreach Intake

Student Legal Services

Requested:

$1,907

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$1,907


Abstract

Student Legal Services is requesting $1,906.54 to purchase two laptops that we can take with us to outreach events so that students can complete intakes and schedule appointments with us when they first come into contact with SLS. We also plan to use the laptops for Skype consultations with students. The laptops will be available at our front desk so that students who come to our office can complete the online intake at our office.


Undergraduate Research Commons: Computing workstations for undergraduate and condor compute cluster.

Department of Astronomy

Requested:

$12,639

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$12,639


Abstract

This proposal is seeking STF funds to refresh 15 computing/lab workstations at the core of our Undergraduate Research Commons, which is used by multiple groups of students for a variety of purposes. The workstations will be configured to run Astronomy specific applications (IRAF, PYRAF, IDL, Astropy, etc…) and will be integrated into the larger Physics/Astronomy Condor high performance computing cluster used for undergraduate and graduate student research projects.


Photocopiers for School of Art + Art History + Design

School of Art, Art History, and Design

Requested:

$12,071

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$12,071


Abstract

The School of Art + Art History + Design (SOA+AH+D) is seeking to acquire two Black + White laser photocopy machines. These upgraded machines are an important and immediate learning tool for student research in many areas of study. As printers and computers are available for use in the SoACC (School of Art Computer Center), photocopy machines are a highly influential tool which allows students to envision scale, tone, and repetitive research ideas. Additionally, many students are currently researching new methods involving powder toner based transfer techniques; methods that would be more heavily researched with the use of advanced machines.


Specialized software annual renewals for computer lab

School of Art, Art History, and Design

Requested:

$5,417

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$5,417


Abstract

This proposal seeks to provide funding for annual maintenance/upgrade fees for our key 3D design software packages Keyshot, Solidworks, and RhinoCAM. We are also looking to provide continued funding for Principle, an application for software user interface design, as well as acquire a set of perpetual licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro used extensively in our printing workflows.
