The cart provides security and charging for the iPads when not in use.
A short-range UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) for use in various Geography and Earth Sciences courses including Field Techniques, Remote Sensing, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems), as well as in the Meteorology and Introduction to the Atmosphere courses. The UAS provides students with a cutting-edge yet low-cost solution for demonstrating and learning how aerial mapping missions are planned and how new types of remotely sensed data are acquired and processed, as well as introducing a new range of technical topics including: GNSS navigation; mission planning; principles of aerial imaging; and photogrammetric applications. Students in general education courses that address weather and climate systems would also be able to analyze multi-dimensional weather data (temperature, pressure, humidity, location, elevation and time).
Equipment including Camcorders, Microphones, and Digital Voice Recorders, for the Digital Web Publishing lab to assist students with the heavy visual demand of Web content. This equipment allows students to produce the quality of content necessary for Web production.
Smart technology installed in classrooms for visual and audio presentation enhancement for classroom use by students in the Exercise Science department. Includes the ability to tie DVD, Internet, and Computer audio/visual aids together into one management console for presentation of course materials. Systems each include the presentation unit, a computer, sympodium, data projector, DVD/VCR and supporting switching equipment.
Smart technology installed in the classroom for visual and audio presentation enhancement for classroom use by students in the Honors program. Includes the ability to tie DVD, Internet, and Computer audio/visual aids together into one management console for presentation of course materials. System includes the presentation unit, a computer, data projector, DVD/VCR and supporting switching equipment.
Additional computers and scanners enabling staff to optimize use of CONTENTdm to digitize materials, providing effective service to increasing numbers of students by increasing access to unique collections.
Smart technology installed in the classroom for visual and audio presentation enhancement for classroom use by students in the Sociology department.

30 16GB iPads with a cart and apps, Otterbox cases, a Tablet Trolley case, and a MacBook Air to sync them, for use by students for flexibility in planning lessons, using the technology with students in real work situations (field placements), and providing access to the technology in the university based lab school, Grace B. Luhrs. The cart provides security and charging for the iPads when not in use.
The addition of 2 new electronics testing stations to augment the existing 8 electronics testing stations in the physics department. Each lab station consists of an oscilloscope for visualizing signals on the board, a multimeter for measuring voltage and amperage, a function/sweep generator for testing signal propagation, and a powered breadboard for connecting test components.
Allows students to trace groundwater and contaminant flowpaths in the environment, study cellular processes, enzyme activities, nutrition, and a broad array of other applications where naturally fluorescent or tagged molecules can be followed with extremely low detection limits (nanogram to picogram per liter concentrations). With this instrument being so broadly useful for sensitive analysis of processes from the cellular to ecosystem level, multiple subdisciplines of the life and environmental science programs at Shippensburg University are strengthened by its available use.
Allows students the opportunity to practice the technique of fluorescence microscopy, a key technique in cell and molecular biology that allows the detection of protein molecules, DNA and cellular organelles stained with specific fluorescent tags, replacing existing outdated equipment with a new system including a new microscope and fluorescence excitation light source with a highly sensitive, low noise cooled ccd camera. The camera uses computer software that provides a multifocusing/image reconstruction technique (Z-stacking) that constructs sharp images of samples, a time lapse photography mode, and creation of composite images using different filters to detect different molecules.
