By Annie Hernandez, graduate assistant in Academic Programs. Through Technology Classrooms Campus, the college and the departments have joined together to upgrade several classrooms in buildings used frequently by ACES faculty. The program is funded primarily by a special allocation from the Provost and started with four rooms on third floor Mumford. Currently, improvements are being made in Bevier 132, ASL 131, Turner W115, AESB 272, AESB 242, and Turner W5. Video equipment is being installed so that instructors can connect a laptop computer and show PowerPoint presentations or connect directly to the Internet.
