Short Range Goal #8.2: Expand and improve program accessibility through technology. Objective/Intended Outcome: The Foundation has experienced phenomenal growth in the last three years. With the purchase of the Raisers Edge Software, we have been able to see a direct increase in our revenues. In order to sustain this level of growth, The Foundation either needs to hire extra manpower or purchase additional Raiser’s Edge software to support our growth. 1. Raiser’s Edge NetSolutions: Enhance the Foundation office’s fundraising abilities. The Foundation would be able to accept online donations, reservations for golf tournament, gala, arts and humanities programs and reach out to alumni. Gifts are given online through custom web pages. 2. Raiser’s Edge Financial Edge: Enhance the Foundation and Business Office productivity by purchasing Financial Edge Software. The implementation will streamline all accounting processes, eliminate double entry procedures and enhance reporting procedures, thus creating a more efficient accounting system as well as saving countless hours of the College’s CFO time each month. The effect on the College’s Information Technology resources are minimum. IT probably spends 1 hour a month on the Foundation account in Datatel. Compared to the entire server, the amount of space and resources used by the Foundation account is very small. Justification: 1) Explain how this will impact on student learning.

Board Reports are more precise now. WCC PLANNING DOCUMENT 2009-2010 ADDENDUM Department: Institutional Advancement Long Range Goal #8: Integrate state-of-practice technology in all aspects of the college’s programs, services, and operations. Short Range Goal #8.1: Provide opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to utilize state-of-practice technology. Objective/Intended Outcome: Replace WCC Grants Development Coordinator’s computer workstation (Dell 8300) with new (Optiplex 755) computer. This will allow for grants management without freezing, locking or loss of important information. Justification: 1) Explain how this will impact on student learning. The Grants Coordinator uses the computer workstation to research, write and manage all grants for the college. 2) Number of students that will benefit. This will assist the Grants Coordinator in acquiring additional funds for all programs on campus, therefore, benefiting the entire College. 3) Detailed time line to completion. Install new computer by December 2009. Assessment Criteria: Acquiring a newer, faster computer will benefit the College by allowing the Grants Coordinator to research, write and manage grants more efficiently.

WCC PLANNING DOCUMENT 2009-2010 Department: Academic Skills Long Range Goal #5: Provide an attractive, flexible, and accessible learning environment that meets the needs of the community served. Short Range Goal #5.1: Design and maintain facilities based on the Campus Long-Range Master and Strategic Plans in accordance with environmentally sound practices and the latest available technologies. Objective/Intended Outcome: To replace the worn/dangerous carpet in the Academic Skills Center (ASC) (WLC: 322, 323, 325, 326, and 327) with new/safe carpet. Justification: 4) Explain how this will impact on student learning. Replacing the 20-year-old carpet in this area will significantly improve the safety and appearance of the learning environment in the ASC area. This is a heavily used, high traffic area which has been sorely neglected. Not only does the dingy old carpet convey a sad and rundown appearance, it has actually become a physical hazard to students and staff alike. 5) Number of students who will benefit. In the fall of 2008, the ASC open lab area was utilized by 495 students (unduplicated headcount) who visited this area a total of 4,289 times and spent a total of 5,083 hours in this area. Additionally, 41peer-tutors spent 858 hours tutoring in this space. Various programs and trainings are conducted in these rooms, and nearly every student taking an ACA class tours the ASC. 6) Detailed time line to completion. This needed maintenance should be completed as soon as possible. Assessment Criteria: Installation of new carpet in ASC area. Resources: Facilities $8,000-$10,000 (2000 ft2 at $4-5/ ft2) TOTAL $8,000-$10,000 Target Date: As soon as feasible. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mid-Year Status Report: Carpet has been replaced in WLC 322, WLC 326, and WLC 327.

    Design, Modeling, and Analysis of Visual Mimo Communication

    DESIGN, MODELING, AND ANALYSIS OF VISUAL MIMO COMMUNICATION By ASHWIN ASHOK A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School|New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering written under the direction of Dr. Marco O. Gruteser, Dr. Narayan B. Mandayam and Dr. Kristin J. Dana and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2014 c 2014 Ashwin Ashok ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Design, Modeling, and Analysis of Visual MIMO Communication By ASHWIN ASHOK Dissertation Director: Dr. Marco O. Gruteser, Dr. Narayan B. Mandayam and Dr. Kristin J. Dana Today's pervasive devices are increasingly being integrated with light emitting diode (LED) arrays, that serve the dual purpose of illumination and signage, and photo- receptor arrays in the form of pixel elements in a camera. The ubiquitous use of light emitting arrays (LEA) and cameras in today's world calls for building novel systems and applications where such light emitting arrays can communicate information to cameras. This thesis presents the design, modeling and analysis of a novel concept called visual MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) where cameras are used for communication. In visual MIMO, information transmitted from light emitting arrays are received through the optical wireless channel and decoded by a camera receiver. The paradigm shift in visual MIMO is the use of digital image analysis and computer vision techniques to aid in the demodulation of information, contrary to the direct processing of electrical signals as in traditional radio-frequency (RF) communication.

    Field Service Support with Google Glass and Webrtc

    Field Service Support with Google Glass and WebRTC Support av Fälttekniker med Google Glass och WebRTC PATRIK OLDSBERG Examensarbete inom Datorteknik, Grundnivå, 15 hp Handledare på KTH: Reine Bergström Examinator: Ibrahim Orhan TRITA-STH 2014:68 KTH Skolan för Teknik och Hälsa 136 40 Handen, Sverige Abstract The Internet is dramatically changing the way we com- municate, and it is becoming increasingly important for communication services to adapt to context in which they are used. The goal of this thesis was to research how Google Glass and WebRTC can be used to create a communi- cation system tailored for field service support. A prototype was created where an expert is able to provide guidance for a field technician who is wearing Google Glass. A live video feed is sent from Glass to the expert from which the expert can select individual images. When a still image is selected it is displayed to the technician through Glass, and the expert is able to provide instructions using real time annotations. An algorithm that divides the selected image into segments was implemented using WebGL. This made it possible for the expert to highlight objects in the image by clicking on them. The thesis also investigates different options for ac- cessing the hardware video encoder on Google Glass. Sammanfattning Internet har dramatiskt ändrat hur vi kommunicerar, och det blir allt viktigare för kommunikationssystem att kunna anpassa sig till kontexten som de används i. Målet med det här examensarbetet var att undersöka hur Google Glass och WebRTC kan användas för att skapa ett kommunikationssystem som är skräddarsytt för support av fälttekniker.

    Ultra-Wideband Research and Implementation

    Ultra­Wideband Research and Implementation Senior Capstone Project 2007 Final Report by: Jarrod Cook Nathan Gove Project Advisors: Dr. Brian Huggins Dr. In Soo Ahn Dr. Prasad Shastry Abstract Ultra‐wideband (UWB) is a wireless transmission standard that will soon revolutionize consumer electronics. UWB is interesting because of its inherent low power consumption, high data rates of up to 480 Mbps, and large spatial capacity1. Furthermore, the power spectral density is low enough to prevent interference with other wireless services. This new standard has recently been approved by the FCC for unlicensed use and has been gaining interest throughout the consumer electronics industry. The main goal of the project is to increase interest in UWB technology, and to explore its usefulness. The history and benefits of UWB will be discussed, followed by the project goals, implementation, and results. Texas Instruments DSP platforms were used in conjunction with Simulink and Code Composter Studio to implement the scaled‐down baseband modulation scheme. Also, RF microwave components were donated from Hittite Corporation to perform quadrature modulation and up conversion to a frequency of 3.4 GHz. 1 Spatial capacity is defined as bits/sec/square‐meter. UWB is projected at having 6 devices working simultaneously within a 10 m range [16]. ii. Acknowledgements There are some people that need to be acknowledged for their work with this project. They include, but are not limited to: • Luke Vercimak and Karl Weyeneth for work on their 2006 Senior Capstone Project, Software Defined Radio. • Dr. Brian Huggins, Dr. In Soo Ahn and Dr. Prasad Shastry for advising, guidance and general encouragement throughout.
