The College of Engineering is committed to providing our faculty and students with as many technological skills as possible. Not only will this boost the students’ confidence, it will expose them to the type of equipment they will be expected to operate beyond the classroom. This proposal will provide the faculty with necessary equipment to better prepare the students while simultaneously positioning the students for success in their chosen field(s). Additionally, this equipment is needed to maintain FAU’s ABET accreditation which takes into account equipment relevance.
Specifically, we are developing “mobile” labs for campus fieldwork. We want to involve various departments in this process to develop better interconnectedness between the various disciplines. A “mobile” lab will also go a long way to satisfy (or address) the directive/imperative from President Kelley (paraphrasing) “to foster cross-discipline partnering in the expanding FAU community.”
The other reason to have a dedicated mobile lab rig is that currently when work does happen outside the lab, equipment is taken from one of the CEECS labs (sometimes for a month at a time). This greatly affects the students in those labs.
Classes / Projects that will most benefit from this Portable Lab include:
Engineering Expo Demonstrations
EEL4281 Photovoltaic Power Systems
COT4935 - Senior Seminar
Research: Micro & Nanotechnology Medicine Lab
Engineering Club Workshops, Meetings and Seminars
Senior Undergraduate Student Projects
Marine Robotics Club
This project will help students see how electronics is applied in the field and how electronics is essential in practically every other discipline: Geologists and surveyors, environmentalists and architects, doctors and teachers depend on electronics like never before.
The upgraded lab will begin to address several points laid-out in the FAU Strategic Plan for the Race to Excellence such as:
Excellence - in teaching, research and public service
Playing to win - and helping others win
Innovation - striving for creative solutions and continuous improvement
And takes into account the Strategic Actions and Initiatives which calls to: (in part):
Complement academic learning by preparing collegiate and pre-collegiate students for success in life through employability skills and life skills developed by involvement in public service, while integrating these experiences into the curriculum - This project will encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across various campuses to provide an invaluable service to the community.?The College of Engineering is committed to providing our faculty and students with as many technological skills as possible.
