“Paying” The Way For A Better Bart Future: A Call For Better Enforcement Of Fare Evasion Policies And Strategic Planning At Bart, Ethan S. Tan
Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD
The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system has undoubtedly shaped the way the San Francisco Bay Area operates today. BART has molded itself to becoming a popular form of transportation for citizens of the area. However, numerous problems have arisen in recent years in regard to the overall “healthiness” of the BART system with its ex-aging fleet of trains, undertrained staff, lack of BART Police presence, rampant illegal drug use, etc. which has made BART unpopular with riders.

A New Take On Testing: Evaluating Design Systems In Response To The Recent Natural Disaster In Nepal, Jazmine L. Brown
A New Take On Testing: Evaluating Design Systems In Response To The Recent Natural Disaster In Nepal, Jazmine L. Brown
Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD
In this thesis project I analyze the destruction of the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, specifically in the structural and architectural collapse. I have focused my research on the areas with greatest documented destruction and vulnerability, specifically Kathmandu and the settlements in the Middle Hills. The introduction of a new lateral testing mechanism can provided much needed information on the seismic strengths of vernacular construction methods.

Survey Of Restoration Efforts Following The 2015 Nepal Earthquake, Celine K. Nakachi
Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD
The purpose of this paper is to provide knowledge on the devastating 2015 Nepal earthquake, it's architectural failures and alternative construction methods with the use of various documentation such as video footage screenshots, photographs, and information from previous reports. It will offer alternative methods that can be proposed to those currently residing in Nepal for safer construction methods, styles and overall offer a sense of hope for those affected by the earthquake. The end goal is to inform others on Nepal's conditions and their inability to build lavishly, therefore also taking into account some of the local and cheaper materials …
