School Launches SEAS TV

click to watch videoThe Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science has launched a new video browser. SEAS TV was created as a new initiative to chronicle and share its most fascinating research, faculty and students in an easy-to-use video information channel, linked from the SEAS home page.

A custom Web application was created to display the School’s video presentations in a logically arranged hierarchal browser, allowing easy access to the 300-plus videos displayed in six primary categories: Departments, Research, Lectures, Profiles, Community and Entrepreneurship. The modular nature of the video browser application will soon be used to display video from other SEAS-affiliated sites such as the Botwinick Lab (student presentations, classroom lectures, 3D modeling and animation projects) and CTICE (community projects, guest speakers, workshops and the Living Peace lectures).

More than three years ago, Vice-Dean Morton B. Friedman supported the idea of creating a video library. The first videos were presentations by faculty from each of the School's nine departments. These videos are still popular with undergraduates as well as prospective applicants to the School. Click to see Departments
 
The video production effort is under the direction of Dana Vlcek, the school’s Director of Corporate and Community Relations. Some of the most popular videos are the Profiles, in which undergraduate and graduate students demonstrate and talk about the exciting work they are involved in on campus.
