All of the new equipment will be accessible to students of the Department of Television, Cinematography and Visual Art with the explicit purpose of helping them acquire practical skills to cinematography, TV-radio reporting, graphic design, and animation. 

Within a similar line of thought, students in applied geology will be able to carry out lab research on environmental chemistry and geochemistry. This practical lab work will be a necessary part of their senior theses, preparing them for work after graduation with state-of-the-art geophysical lab equipment.
