Campus Improvement Cm460 Manual To Improve Project Based Success, John C. Palmer
Campus Improvement Cm460 Manual To Improve Project Based Success, John C. Palmer
Construction Management
This Senior project research will critically assess the process for campus improvement on the Cal Poly Campus. The purpose of this research is providing a final deliverable that is a usable document for future students with the intention of creating a campus improvement project. The project includes the necessary resources such as campus facility contacts, permitting process explanation, the documentation process for preconstruction, funding opportunities and the expected delays to create a realistic plan. The document is created as a manual for Construction Management undergraduates in hopes of encouraging future students to create a project-based campus-improvement plan that is more …

Paso Robles Police Department Shooting Range Electrical Installation, Shelby I. Prosch
Construction Management
The Paso Police Department has a shooting range for police officers to practice and master using firearms. A shooting range is a crucial part of police officer training to ensure public safety and correct and accurate usage of safety weapons. The construction for the shooting range began in the spring of 2021 by Cal Poly students where they laid the foundation. I became involved to further the progress of the shooting range by installing an electrical system. For that phase to begin, I completed a pre-construction package that details the materials and steps for installation. The package includes a scope …

Development Of A Marine Biodegradable Target Balloon, Blake Samuel Robinson, Arash Sam Akhavi, David Leonardo Albarran-Martinez
Materials Engineering
The US Navy utilizes PVC target balloons, known as Killer Tomatoes, that are inflated onboard a naval vessel then deployed into the ocean to calibrate a variety of weaponry. The Navy has requested the investigation of biodegradable polymers to replace the PVC in attempts to reduce ocean waste that is generated from the leftover PVC material. After communicating with American Pacific Plastic Fabricators (APPF), the current manufacturer of the Killer Tomatoes, we gained an understanding of the manufacturing process and the material requirements that would allow a new material to be integrated into their current process. Two proprietary, trial polymers …

Creating A More Diverse And Inclusive Environment In The Cal Poly Construction Management Department, Miriam Robles
Construction Management
This study looks at how to increase diversity and inclusivity in the Cal Poly Construction Management Department. It is becoming increasingly important to promote diversity and inclusivity not just in the classroom, but also in the workforce. It is important for the Cal Poly CM program to put more of an emphasis on trying to create a more a diverse major and acknowledge the importance of having inclusivity and diversity in the major. This project researched ways in which other universities have used different methods to increase diversity and create a more inclusive culture on their campus. This research was …

Refurbishment Of Exterior Wooden Panels Of Simpson Strong Tie Building, Isidoro A. Amalfitano
Construction Management
This paper outlines the refurbishment of the exterior wood panels located on the Simpson Strong Tie Building on the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo campus. This project focuses on the two large 50 square foot wooden panels that act as an exterior skin for the Simpson Strong Tie Building. This project is an individual project that was broken up into 4 phases. This paper will cover all 4 phases of the refurbishment process. These phases include the removal, sanding, staining and reapplication of wood panels onto the Simpson Strong Tie Building. Furthermore, this paper will go in depth about the …
