1) All computers in SE 206 and SE 205 have been replaced and are now state-of-the<br />
art.<br />
2) Twelve or more computers have been added in SE 204 which provides much<br />
needed additional workspace.<br />
3) SE 124 is now a “Smart Classroom”. The screen moves up and down<br />
automatically. The device will be unlocked from 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. The activation<br />
code is 3245.<br />
4) SE 201 is “Semi-Smart Classroom”. It has a computer projector and DVD/VCR<br />
capability.<br />
5) A 46” plasma screen and furniture for the vestibule is forthcoming. Eight tables,<br />
32 chairs, 2 sofas, a loveseat, and 2 display cases have been ordered for the<br />
wireless “internet café”. The plasma screen can run announcements and<br />
messages, and it can also be used as a projector screen.<br />
6) SE 132 has been updated to include TV/VCR/DVD installation.<br />
7) Faculty computers should be installed within the next week.<br />
8) Office and vestibule painting was done during the summer.<br />
9) The carpet and furniture was cleaned and the chairs in the computer lab were<br />
cleaned as well.<br />
b. ABET accreditation status – We have not yet heard officially from ABET. We were<br />
told that, as a result of unforeseen work conditions and scheduling conditions, they<br />
were behind in notifications. They did use our report as a model along with two<br />
other schools to create a combined template available to other schools.<br />
c. ACCE accreditation status – We received a report on the issues to which we had<br />
responded. All of the issues had been fully addressed on our part except for the size<br />
of the building or the timetable on when we were going to get a bigger building.
