STUDY OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION The Office of the Provost created a taskforce entrusted with supporting students with their software

requirements through providing access on an anytime, anywhere basis. A form was sent out to all

departments to collect information on all software and lab use in order to help the taskforce make

informed decisions about open access.

METHODOLOGY This survey was designed and conducted by the Office of Strategy Management and Institutional

Effectiveness through emailing 41 members of faculty representing each department and school at AUC.

Invitations were sent out on September 24, 2018, followed by two reminders on the 17th of October and

the 12th of November to those who had not yet completed the survey. The survey was eventually closed

on the 17th of January 2019, yielding a total representation of 26 departments.

REPORT STRUCTURE This report is divided into the following sections:

Report of Findings Divided into the following sub-sections:

1.1 Represented Departments A presentation of schools and departments that have participated in this survey

1.2 University-Level Software Uses An overview of all university-level software uses.

1.3 Department-Level Software Uses A breakdown of the specific software and lab uses of each department, grouped first by school

1.2 University-Level Software Uses The majority of participating departments have software requirements.

By Function Out of 140 mentions for kinds of software, the top functions are expectedly engineering and data

analysis and visualization, followed by multimedia tools such as Adobe Suite.

By Corporation/Developer While most software are fragmented, several are provided by the same developer. Out of all identified

corporations/developers, the top are Adobe and Microsoft, followed by IBM, AutoDesk, and Apple,

among others.

•The ordering of setting our software is not reflecting the priorities,as mentioned at the beginning of the survey that you have to set you software

according to the most priorities. All S/W that are

using at the ECNG Dept are very vital and important which means we can't sacrifice any

one of them..
