Database Management and Development

Examples: schema design, migration of databases to new platforms, aquery design, and documenting important features of data sets. For data management support contact David Francis or Stephen Houser.

Digitization

Examples: extracting audio from media, extracting video clips from longer material, combining clips and segments for presentations. For digitization support contact Paul Benham or Colin Kelley.

Server cables

Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Examples include: aerial photography, remote sensing, mapping, and exploration. For more information contact David Israel.

NOTE: For the safety of our community the college has a UAV policy that regulates the use of Drones and UAVs on and over College property. In addition, the FAA has strict rules when flying near airports.

High Performance Computing

Examples: selection and/or development of software for use on multi-processor systems, adapting existing processes to work in a multi-processor system, using Matlab, R, and other high-performance compatible software for research and instruction. For High Performance Computing support, contact Dj Merrill or Stephen Houser.
