Equipment Requests [Acct. Category 6000]
Please note: Equipment requests are for equipment whose unit cost is over $200
Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Computers for 2130

Request Amount (include tax and shipping): $5,000
Description of the specific equipment or materials requested:
3 computers (monitor, key board, etc) for lab tables.
What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support?
Computers are used extensively in Biology 2A, 2B and Environmental Science 11. We have only 4 computers in room 2130. We need 7
computers (1 for the instructor and 6 for the 6 lab tables). Students can access websites for computerized exercises (Example: environmental
science students use online population data sheets to do demographic studies.) In traditional labs students can search for reference material
that will help identify organisms, structures on slides; they can view dissections, etc.)

Increases experiential learning by allowing students who are pursuing careers in health and medical fields to examine the relationship and
location of organs in the human body in 3D.
Why is this equipment necessary?
Immediate health, safety, or security issues
 Increases enrollment
Prevents further deterioration of facilities
 Replaces deteriorated equipment or facilities
 Shows cost advantage due to rising prices
 Provides visibility for the Bond Program
Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
The current torso model was purchased over 25 years ago. The parts of the model have deteriorated and some are not correct
anatomically. It is essential to provide a new model with the correct anatomical representation to increase student learning. It also
provides a 3D representation to the human body. It will save money to purchase the model now since the price keeps on rising over the
past few years.
What is the consequence of not funding the equipment?
Deteriorating and incorrect anatomical parts will misdirect students’ learning and impact them negatively.
What alternative approaches have been considered to meet programmatic demands for this equipment?
5
None. Software that provides a 3D representation is prohibitively expensive which requires license fees each year.

 Provides visibility for the Bond Program
Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
The current disarticulated human bones, 6 sets, were purchased over 25 years ago. These natural human bones have suffered a great
amount of damage over the last 2.5 decades where they are broken, missing parts of the bone, or disappeared from the collection. The
damaged or missing parts can not be replaced because natural bone replacements are no longer sold. There are also no plastic replica
pieces available. So the whole set has to purchased. The plastic replica will last much longer and it will save money to purchase the sets
now since the price keeps on rising over the past few years.
What is the consequence of not funding the equipment?
Students can not use the required laboratory material in lab to complete their assignments which will negatively impact their learning
experience.

Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
The current disarticulated human skull was purchased over 25 years ago. The natural human skull with individual bone separated and
mounted on a display apparatus has gotten so much use that many bones on the apparatus are completely damaged. The damaged pieces
can not be replaced because natural bones are not sold on the market any more. The plastic replica will last much longer and it will save

 Provides visibility for the Bond Program
Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
The current human fetal skulls were purchased over 25 years ago. The natural human fetal skulls are extremely fragile and very difficult
to replace because they are not sold on the market any more. The delicate nature of the skulls has prevented students from using them
properly (i.e. pick them up and touch them). The plastic replica will last much longer and it will save money to purchase the model now
since the price keeps on rising over the past few years.

 Shows cost advantage due to rising prices
 Provides visibility for the Bond Program
Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
Muscular system is an important section of the anatomy course. Important facial muscles have not been incorporated in the laboratory
because appropriate model is not available to show the students the muscle locations in 3D. Pathology is now an integral part of the
curriculum (see course outline), it is difficult to demonstrate how certain pathology such as stroke affects facial muscles without the proper
anatomical model. It will save money to purchase the model now since the price keeps on rising over the past few years.
What is the consequence of not funding the equipment?
Can not cover the pathology curriculum as outlined in the course outline appropriately.

Equipment Requests [Acct. Category 6000]
Please note: Equipment requests are for equipment whose unit cost is over $200
Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Classroom Projection System, 2102, 2006, and 2108
Building/Location: 2102, 2106, and 2108
Request Amount (include tax and shipping): $27,750
Description of the specific equipment or materials requested:
An instructor's computer, ceiling mounted projector, and Elmo.
What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support?
This equipment will primarily support the Biology 10 laboratory program that currently serves about 300 students per year. The equipment
will also be available to other classes scheduled in 2106. This equipment will greatly increase the quality of the instructor's pre-lab
introductions. Faculty will be able to present instructional DVDs related to the laboratory topic, access web pages, give PowerPoint
introductions, and project images of the microscope slides and lab results. These are capabilities that already exist in all chemistry laboratory
rooms, most other biology laboratory rooms and the newly remodeled physics laboratory rooms.
22
Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Educational Master Plan and the Strategic Plan Goals and support the goals and
outcomes detailed in your Unit Action Plan (Part II, Section 2)?
The Master Plan specifically cites 2100 as a building needing modernization and upgrades, yet it has received far fewer upgrades than most other
buildings on the list. The Master plan also calls for:
 learning spaces for multiple uses and flexibility;
 a sufficient number of “smart” classrooms.
 a significant increase in computer-assisted lab space.
This upgrade will satisfy all of these.
Why is this equipment necessary?
Immediate health, safety, or security issues

Equipment Requests [Acct. Category 6000]
Please note: Equipment requests are for equipment whose unit cost is over $200
Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Stirring hot plates
Building/Location: 2124
Request Amount (include tax and shipping): $2,600
Description of the specific equipment or materials requested:
6 stirring hot plates
What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support?
Some microbiology laboratory exercises require the use of heat and stirring to prepare microbiological culture. This is done with a Bunsen
burner and a stirring rod. This procedure; however, is cumbersome and relatively risky. The use of stirring hot plates offers an attractive
alternative, as the stirring is done by the hot plate itself and no open flames are necessary. Access to this type of equipment would result in
safer laboratory exercises. In addition, students may gain experience in the use of equipment likely to be found in laboratory working
environments.

Increases experiential learning by allowing students who are pursuing careers in health and medical fields to examine the relationship
between myofilaments in a muscle cell and the contraction mechanism in 3D.
Why is this equipment necessary?
Immediate health, safety, or security issues
 Increases enrollment
Prevents further deterioration of facilities
Replaces deteriorated equipment or facilities

Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
Muscle contraction is one of the hardest concepts to understand in physiology. Students often do not understand how the muscle cell is
organized and its complex arrangement produces muscle contraction. This addition will give the students a hands-on experience with this
abstract concept along with other computer programs. It will save money to purchase the model now since the price keeps on rising over
the past few years.
