Occupational Therapy Classroom Proposal Presented to the UTFAB February 1, 2011 Dave Carpenter, Director of IT, College of Applied Human Sciences

CAHS Background • Very high enrollment college – 6 academic departments and 2 schools – 3 of the 6 largest undergrad majors at CSU – 3 of the 15 largest graduate majors at CSU – Enrollment continues to increase, despite caps on the Construction Management and Design and Merchandising programs

Occupational Therapy (OT) • OT Department is nationally recognized for its excellence; ranked 8 th in nation (US News & World Reports) • Graduate only program – Currently enrolls ~150 students per year – Currently in process of increasing enrollment by 25% • 7 th largest graduate program at CSU • High demands on student technology, most of which supported by the CAHS CFT fee • OT building is in need of help – OT utilizes three primary departmental spaces for much of its instruction and student lab work – All three spaces are overdue for technology upgrades

Room 100

Room 101

Room 103

The Problem • High quality instructional technology is imperative to the success of the OT students • CAHS and OT have some funds to help achieve this goal, but not enough to fund 100% of the project

The Proposal • Upgrade the instructional technology in these three rooms to bring them in line with CSU/CAHS/OT standards • Smart technology installation has been estimated at $50, 096 for the rooms – $10, 650 for installation, $39, 446 for equipment – This includes standard smart classroom equipment, such as a projector, lectern, audio, and Blu-Ray (screens are already in the rooms)

The Proposal, cont. • If approved, the College would plan on costsharing the classroom technology install at 50% – Funding would come from a variety of sources, including the CAHS CFT fee and OT departmental funds • Proposed impact to the University Technology Fee: $25, 048 for three rooms
