$76,613

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$76,613

Abstract

The Department of Communication, the Communication Leadership masters program, and the Native Voices program have worked together for the past 16 years to provide our students with a joint checkout system for equipment. We are asking for updates and additions to this equipment to continue serving our students with a resource that allows them to get training and support on equipment that will help them on projects and give them a strong background to successfully enter the work force.

Chemistry Study Center Computer Upgrade

Department of Chemistry

Requested:

$31,650

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$31,650

Abstract

The Department of Chemistry is requesting funds to replace 30 aging computers in the Chemistry Study Center in Bagley 330. The Chemistry Study Center is a central hub for interaction and learning for the ~6,000 students taking chemistry courses each quarter. The combination of good space, good atmosphere, adequate computer facilities, and readily available help from teaching assistants and faculty plays an important role in making chemistry both learnable and enjoyable.

Technology Loan Program- Campus Wide 3 Offices

UW-IT Learning Technologies

Requested:

$371,198

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$371,198

Abstract

Classroom Technology and Events and UW Information Technology offer the free loan of technology to all UW Seattle students at three locations: 035 Kane Hall, I-146 Health Sciences and 111-D in the HUB. We provide students with equipment that they require for class work and for personal projects, but could not otherwise afford, such as laptops, video cameras, DSLR cameras, presentation remotes, audio systems, and projectors

Surface and Film Analysis for Materials Characterization Labs

Materials Science and Engineering

Requested:

$36,740

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$36,740

Abstract

We are proposing the purchase of a new Surface Profilometer. This instrument will measure thin and thick films from 10 nano meters to 10 centimeters. It can also measure surface roughness on materials that are too rough for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The MSE department had this resource until about 1 year ago when the instrument electronics failed. We will be able to use that instrument as a trade in to reduce the cost of the new one.

High-power laser cutter for sheet metals and thick materials

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Requested:

$150,985

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$150,985

Abstract

Laser cutters have become a popular tool on campus for students in many disciplines, for applications ranging from fabricating research equipment to craft projects. Most of the laser cutters on campus are designed to cut wood, plastics, cardboard, or fabrics, and cannot cut thick materials or metals. The powerful laser system proposed can cut through 3mm steel, 2mm stainless steel, and 1mm aluminum. It can also cut through thicker wood and plastics than most laser cutters on campus.

Empowering student pharmacists with technology to enhance community outreach and health promotion.

School of Pharmacy

Requested:

$2,725

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$2,725

Abstract

Student pharmacists in School of Pharmacy are highly engaged in activities supporting the health of individuals in the community. These community outreach events require meticulous collection of data, which is then used for tracking, assessment, and reporting. Rather than students collecting the information on paper, we propose using mobile devices to facilitate our students’ professional development through the documentation of achievement metrics.

Amplified Digital Imaging System for Detailed Museum-based Research

Burke Museum

Requested:

$56,200

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$56,200

Abstract

The BK Plus Lab Photographic System will provide the technology for students to take exceptional, high-quality digital images of natural and cultural history specimens from the Burke Museum’s collections or their own specimens or objects for use in classes and their own research, as well as the opportunity for the students to learn modern curatorial techniques for digitally preserving specimens and specimen data.

Urban Design and Planning Technology Loaner Expansion

College of Built Environments

Requested:

$11,879

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$11,879

Abstract

UDP seeks to expand the digital equipment made available to our students. While College of Built Environments provides a student equipment loaner program there are often times when our department needs the equipment longer than is allowable by the College program. We are looking to provide 8 tablets for use in planning studio classes. Provide 2 digital cameras for use by students for field work. Provide 2 laptops for use by students, for thesis defense, presentations, and other meetings.

Remote Desktop Computing Upgrade

Department of Aerospace and Astronautics

Requested:

$56,925

Status:

Funded

Awarded:

$56,925

Abstract

In 2010 the STF Committee funded the purchase of 2 Windows remote desktop access servers for Aero/Astro student use. Today, the existing servers are out of date and more students than ever require remote access to engineering applications and high-performance computing to complete their coursework and research. We propose to replace those outdated servers and upgrade student remote access.
