Proposal

Narrative

Geomatics Engineering Laboratory (GEL) located in Jupiter campus HA 103 is in need for a classroom AV equipment that enables classroom interactions. GEL was previously located in SR 271 which had basic AV equipment such as instructor’s computer and projector. We were relocated to HA 103 in summer 2016 which does not have any AV equipment. The lack of such a basic equipment causes challenges for the students to effectively follow the lab instructions. Most of the lab exercises are performed in groups. Hence, it is required by the group to discuss, plan and present their lab exercises. Though we are equipped with state-of-the-art surveying, photogrammetry and laser scanning equipment and software, the unavailability of audio, visual and collaborative computer system limits their usage to their potential. This proposal requests funds to buy and install an interactive collaboration system for our new GEL facility located in HA 103 of Jupiter campus.
