This Tech Fee proposal addresses the major issues identified by the students in the Department Chair’s Forum as follows:
Quiet study space. Previous instruction lab, AutoCAD lab, and study rooms in IS building that were used to practice presentations and do team collaboration work were reassigned to Human Resources, thus students are deprived of dedicated quiet study space. This Tech Fee proposal would create a dedicated virtual collaboration studio environment to begin to address this need.
24-hour dedicated access to collaboration space. Since the move from IS building to the Library Seflin Room, engineering students no longer have 24-hour unrestricted access to team collaboration space. The recording equipment in the Seflin Room is only available during library hours and when no other classes or entities are using the space. This Tech Fee proposal would permit independent recording and presentation practice using a technology that is more accessible and has built-in recording equipment. It also provides a virtual environment that can be accessed without interruption, particularly since the Library Seflin Room and AutoCAD lab are both high demand spaces that are routinely overbooked.
Priority for space use is not student-centered. Students and faculty are permitted to schedule the Seflin Room and AutoCAD lab, but the unique capabilities of those spaces mean that they are in high demand from competing users. This often removes those spaces from being used as a small team conference room or study space. This Tech Fee grant uses technology to create a dedicated student-centered virtual collaboration studio that complements the library’s capabilities and provides priority to student with more ways to collaborate on projects and assignments within the confines of the current space limitations.
Through this funded proposal, the Department will be able to provide technology that enhances the student learning experience and directly aligns with FAU’s Strategic Plan to carry out its mission and benefit students. Goal 1 Boldness: This proposal will help to develop a uniquely competitive student body with capabilities to collaborate in effective multidisciplinary teams. Goal 2 Synergy: This proposal will help to connect students with faculty using technology and not relying on face-to-face collaboration only. Some students are based in Jupiter campus, so this will allow for more opportunities for close collaboration. It will also provide more ways for engineering students and library staff to have access to more collaboration tools. Goal 4 Quality: This proposal will allow students to have access to the latest collaboration technologies and help FAU to remain a resilient, lean organization that can expand learning opportunities without building more physical space to accommodate student needs. Goal 5 Brand: This proposal will enhance FAU engineering’s national reputation for excellence, particularly in graduates’ improved ability to work in small teams and present their work using the latest technologies.
