Artificial Intelligence Integration In Construction: A Cal Poly Curriculum Assessment, Carter James Hahn
Artificial Intelligence Integration In Construction: A Cal Poly Curriculum Assessment, Carter James Hahn
Construction Management
In a rapidly evolving industry where AI enhances efficiency and safety, questions are being raised on whether it should be introduced in the classroom. This research project is with the intention of understanding if and how artificial intelligence should be incorporated into Cal Poly’s construction management curriculum. The research combines a literature review establishing AI's relevance in construction project management with a survey-based methodology to gauge industry perspectives. Today, the global construction market witnesses a surge in AI adoption in its planning, construction, and O&M phases. In turn, the industry has benefited from its application in mitigation of risks, improved …

Introducing Students To Computer Science: Using Python To Build A Basic Quiz Game, Alex Diosdado
Computer Science and Software Engineering
This outreach program activity was designed to increase interest in the field of Computer Science within students in middle and high school. It focuses on some of the basic concepts of programming, like Strings, Integers and printing to the screen as it was designed to be an introduction for those students who had little to no previous programming history. This activity was tested with a smaller group of high school Algebra 1 students, most of whom did not have any prior programming knowledge. It ultimately fulfilled its goal as a survey that was conducted at the end of the activity …

Effects Of Cal Poly Construction Management Software Curriculum On Graduate Employment Choices, Andrew Holland
Construction Management
As technology continues to advance at an accelerated pace, the construction industry struggles to keep up with these rapid changes. Understanding and adopting new technologies, specifically software, are key to the future of the construction industry. Studies have shown that the slow adoption of software in the industry has more to do with a lack of training than the limitations of the software. New hires out of universities with experience and training in these software are the linchpin to adapting this industry to new technology. The Construction Management Department at Cal Poly is renowned for putting out new hires with …

Establishment Of Occupational Safety And Health As A Minor, Giovani A. Mazzotti
Construction Management
Safety plays an essential role in the construction industry. With construction projects increasing in size, time, and overall complexity, it has become increasingly difficult to implement safe protocol and procedures. Present-day construction projects sometimes require more than 10,000 employees, including dozens of subcontractors, office teams, and more on-site. In addition to the increased need for laborers, increasing project size means an increase in demand for individuals with expertise and experience in safety practices. Projects of all shapes and sizes are in need of professionals with proven expertise in implementing safety practices. Currently, many incoming project engineers and field engineers lack …

Fishing For Answers: Barriers To Secondary Agricultural English Course Adoption, Sydney Arlene Keen
Agricultural Education and Communication
Wamba (2012) said, “...literacy education plays an important role in moving people out of poverty toward greater self-sufficiency post-graduation” (p. 109). Nearly 47% of first-time California community college students are enrolled in remedial English coursework (Student Success, 2015). Further, California high school dropout rates are at 11% due to “school-related reasons…implying a lack of engagement and lack of perceived relevance” in curriculum (Gottfried & Plasman, 2017, p. 30). Literacy in our high school classrooms must be addressed.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) coursework has been linked to lower dropout rates; particularly in grades 11 and 12 (Gottfried & Plasman, 2017). …

The Implementation Of A Conceptually Coherent Curriculum Within A Constructivist Preschool Environment, Heather Jones, Sarah Post
Psychology and Child Development
Creating a learning environment that enchants children’s curiosity and sparks exploration, discovery, and thought does not require a great amount of financial resources. Rather, one must concentrate on observation and focus on building on children’s existing interests in the natural world. The research and theories of Swiss psychologist and philosopher, Jean Piaget, and Russian Psychologist, Lev Vygotsky provide a concrete look into a child’s cognitive and social development and can be informative in creating such environments. Using the developmental knowledge presented in these theories, programs such as the Reggio Emilia program, the Preschool Pathways to Science program (PrePS), and the …
