The School of Urban & Planning seeks to provide a consistent high quality experience for students taking classes in their Visual Planning Technology Classroom. The VPT Classroom is department managed facility that has been recently relocated to the Boca Campus and has been expanded from twenty-one to twenty-eight computer workstations. This classroom is also used during non-class time for student course work.
We wish to upgrade the student workstation computers and the teaching assistant's computer with all current matching technology and to upgrade the instructor's computer with a second graphics card and a stronger processor so that we can use both classroom management software along with high-end graphic software.
When the VPT Classroom relocated to the Boca campus, due to a higher demand for our technology courses, we expended the classroom to twenty-eight student workstations, a larger teaching lectern, and a new teaching assistant workstation. We then filled the new desks with computers that had 2nd generation Intel processors to complement our existing computers that had 3rd generation Intel processors.
This proposal is to purchase 29 matching computers with the current 4th generation Intel processors along with faster video cards, USB 3.0 jacks (so students use today's larger and faster portable media drives), and faster hard drives.
In addition, we seek to upgrade the teaching computer by providing hardware that will allow the teacher to use classroom management software which will be able to interact with all twenty-eight workstations (for example, it will be able to show complex tables and diagrams on each student's monitor along with the projector screen).

Note: No monitors are being purchased as existing monitors are sufficient.
None.
Four weeks of hourly OPS employment is requested to help migrate or surplus the old computers, unpack the new computers, install them in the classroom, install department software, and trouble check the result. This action will take place prior to and during the first available break and the assignment is to average 20 hours a week.
None.
All action is to place before and during the first available school break.
We anticipate that these computers will keep up with software development for at least the next four years.
None.
