Enhancement of Research Environment

Abstract

The overall goal of this project was to improve the capability of Tuskegee University to successfully compete for and complete Department of Defense research contracts and grants. This was accomplished by making strategic enhancements to the existing academic and research environment on campus. The objectives by which this goal was achieved were: 1. Establishment of an Interdisciplinary Instrumentation Laboratory to support accredited engineering programs. 2. Expansion of the capabilities of the installed Digital Equipment Corporation VAX computers and installation of a new, larger VAX with associated networking. 3. Sponsorship of a summer Ada language seminar for college faculty. This grant has resulted in a significant enhancement to the University's research facilities, well beyond that envisioned at the time the proposal was written. It also provided the leverage to begin a long-term partnership with Digital Equipment Corporation to build a campus-wide network. Keywords: Programming language; Ada programming language; Infrastructure; Network; Engineering; Electrical; Mechanical; Aerospace; Laboratory.
