Fuel Inventory Report For Montana De Oro State Park, Spencer Gordon

Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Management Projects

Within the last century anthropogenic effects have shifted fire resilient habitats that are adapted to thousands of years of frequent low intensity fires to landscapes that are susceptible to extreme fire behavior which threaten human assets and sensitive natural resources. Entities that manage forests will need to prioritize fuel reduction as a management tool to promote forest health and mitigate hazardous fire conditions. A fuel inventory of a eucalyptus forest at Montana De Oro State Park in Los Osos, CA was collected using a combination of Brown’s 1973 and Brown’s 1982 methods. The fuel inventory revealed the eucalyptus forest yielded …

The Church Works Website Prototype, Daniel R. Cragoe

Graphic Communication

For my Senior Project, I developed a highfidelity prototype website layout for a nonprofit organization called The Church Works. The prototype includes outlining a site map, creating wireframes for each page, and designing a logo for the organization. The primary function for the website itself is to generate awareness for the Church Works, promote the organization’s upcoming events and volunteer opportunities, and invite donations from members and supporters of the organization.

Analyzing Internships In Construction Management Based On Student/Industry Interest And Experience, Jared C. Gormley

Construction Management

The goal of this research paper is to analyze feedback from both student interns, and the industry on whether there is a disconnect between what each group feels makes an internship beneficial or not. Research was done evaluating current Construction Management students with internship experience at Cal Poly, while also evaluating companies that have internship programs. This paper will provide student interns with insight from industry members regarding internship programs, and it will provide companies with insight from students regarding their experiences within internship programs. Two surveys were sent out, one to all Construction Management Students at Cal Poly, and …

Considerations Of Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion In Advanced Structural Engineering Courses, Claire Leader, Faith Sharp, Anahid Behrouzi

Architectural Engineering

This paper presents various techniques investigated by the authors to bring discussion of societal impact into two advanced structural engineering courses taught at Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo within the Architectural Engineering (ARCE) department during the 2020-21 academic year. The first was an undergraduate reinforced concrete design lecture/lab class where the instructor was able to convey the stories of the individuals and events that influence the ACI 318 code and ASTM standards used for concrete design. The second was a graduate nonlinear structural behavior lecture class that involves a weekly seminar by guest speakers who presented case studies with …

The Role Of Digital Transformation And Specification Data Management In Streamlining Supply Chains, Daniel Klemm

Master's Theses

The packaging and product supply chain is currently undergoing a digital transformation that changes the way organizations manage data. Cloud-based software is an emerging technological innovation entirely focused on harnessing the power of packaging/product specifications to create efficiencies. These applications coordinate the data that millions of SKUs worldwide are generating into a harmonized system that will not only organize the SKUs but also create valuable information that will allow stakeholders to make decisions based upon data-driven insights.

Specifications are the DNA-level information of packaging and products. Items such as the bill of materials, technical drawings, and inventory are stored together …

Fire Protection System Analysis Of Air National Guard Readiness Center, Steven A. Waidelich

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports

This report analyzes the impact of a fire located in the atrium at the Air National Guard Readiness Center (ANGRC) located at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. The fifth floor is an enclosed penthouse used to enclose mechanical and electrical equipment. International Building Code (IBC) 2006 and 2005, section 506.1, excludes elevator penthouses of this type from the height and area calculations. The four occupied floors are used for office areas with the three- story atrium opening onto the balcony of the second- and the third-floor office area, and the second-floor conference center.

The prescriptive portion of this analysis looked at …

Bonderson Engineering Center, Hannah Curry

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports

As part of the requirements for receiving a Master of Science in Fire Protection Engineering from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, a Fire and Life Safety Analysis of the Bonderson Engineering Projects Center located on the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo campus is performed. The analysis consists of both a prescriptive and a performance-based analysis.

The prescriptive analysis focuses on reviewing the as-built conditions within the Bonderson Engineering Projects Center for compliance with the current edition of applicable codes and standards. The analysis is performed using the 2018 Edition of the International Building Code (IBC) and the …

Las Comunidades Asiáticas En Latinoamérica, Nina Lerrick

World Languages and Cultures

This project undertakes the examination of several prominent Asian communities in Latin American countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and others in understanding the diverse intersection that is the Asian-Latino culture and identity. Within the United States, there is a growing community of Asian-Latinos that share both the cultural identities of the Hispanic/Latinx community (cultural environment) and the Asian communities (familial and cultural upbringing). Likewise, in U.S. cities such as New York City and Los Angeles, there have been notable Asian-Latino restaurants that offer Asian cuisine and Latin cuisine, as well as a rise of new Asian-Latin infused cuisines …

Nopal En La Frente: Racial Passing And The Hidden Indigeneity Of The Los Altos Region Of Jalisco, 1720-1950, Brandon Manuel Márquez

History

When people look at Los Altos de Jalisco, they typically think of this area as representing a pocket of European ancestry in a mestizaje state. Yet this ignores one huge aspect of this region: its indigenous history. Throughout the last three hundred years, the Los Altos region of Jalisco has allowed for the racial passing of many different families. This is all the more significant because many of its citizens have what many believe to be European features- mainly being light hair, light skin, and colored eyes. Because of these perceived European features, many of the Alteños believe that they …

A Study Of Non-Computing Majors' Growth Mindset, Self-Efficacy And Perceived Cs Relevance In Cs1, Jae Hyuk Yoo

Master's Theses

As the demand for programming skills in today’s job market is rapidly increasing for disciplines outside of computing, CS courses have experienced spikes in enrollment for non-majors. Students in disciplines including art, design and biological sciences are now often required to take introductory CS courses. Previous research has shown the role of growth mindset, self-efficacy and relevance in student success within CS but such metrics are largely unknown for non-majors. In this thesis, we surveyed non-majors in CS1 at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo during the early and late weeks of the quarter to gain insights on their growth mindset, …
