Lydia Savage was one of 12 faculty to be awarded USM grants to use computer technology more creatively. Savage used her award to purchase equipment for use by students in building a database of Portland’s urban geography, detailing changes in social, economic and physical landscape.
A committee chaired by associate provost Bill Wells awards the grants.
Other successful faculty proposals for technology grants included projects to: create an internet-based course in organic chemistry (Thomas Newton); to incorporate video recording and editing into the media production station in the teacher education program (Walter Kimball); to allow physics students to analyze motion and display combinations (Paul Caron); and to study groundwater flow in a hydrogeology course (Charlie Fitts).
