Aged 539 Graduate Internship Report - Strathmore High School, Caitlyn A. Indendi

Agricultural Education: Graduate Internship Reports

This internship and project report includes documentation required in meeting the quality criteria for secondary-level programs of instruction in agriculture. The documents are concurrently used for the Agriculture Incentive Grant review process at Strathmore High School, conducted by representatives of the California Department of Education. The supporting material includes information to receive state and local funding, outline the goals and objectives of the program, along with an overview of Strathmore High School, the agriculture program and the community.

The Future Of Media, Social Media, And Sports Media, Garrett Kramer Brown

Journalism

I hope that the findings of this project help guide and propel student media on how to create content tailored for social media. In my experience at times, it can seem like student media tends to throw everything at the wall and will just see what sticks. While that is sort of the nature of the business that doesn’t mean smarter methods can’t be taken. Also, it specifically gives guidelines to sports coverage, again, in my experience, it seems to me colligate sports coverage seems to be very stuck in their ways, which is not necessarily bad but at the …

Effects Of Intertidal Position On The Capacity For Anaerobic Metabolism And Thermal Stress Response In The Common Acorn Barnacle, Balanus Glandula, Kyra Anderson

Master's Theses

Intertidal habitats are characterized by dynamic, tidally-driven fluctuations in abiotic and biotic factors. Many of the environmental stressors that vary across the intertidal (e.g., temperature, oxygen, food availability, predation pressure) are strong drivers of metabolic rate in ectotherms. As such, we predicted that there may be pronounced differences in the metabolic and stress physiology of conspecific sessile invertebrates occupying at different relative tidal heights. The common acorn barnacle Balanus glandula represents an ideal model organism in which to investigate the possibility of tidal height-dependent physiological differences, owing to their wide distribution in the intertidal zone and their eurytolerant nature. In …

Characterization, Design, And Optimization Of Dual-Purpose Wind Turbines And Frost Protection Fans, Ethan Narad

Master's Theses

This thesis report outlines the creation of a MATLAB tool to design reversible machines that can function as both wind turbines and as agricultural frost protection fans. Frost protection fans are used to prevent crop loss during radiative freeze events during which a temperature inversion is present. Such a dual-purpose machine fundamentally has the constraint that it must use symmetric airfoils, so a suite of tools for automatically designing an optimized wind turbine blade with symmetric airfoils using the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory approach is presented. The BEM code is then re-derived and adapted for use with a frost …

Integration Of Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy For Multichannel Cell Culture Measurement, Conard Chan

Master's Theses

ELECTROCHEMICAL IMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY (EIS) has been widely used to study the electrical properties of biological material due to its non-invasive nature and experimental reliability. However, most of the precision impedance analyzers used in EIS only provide single- or two-channel measurements which are inadequate for larger-scale multiplexed measurements, such as those found in modern microfluidic cell culture experiments. The Biomedical Microsystems Laboratory has developed a 16-channel cell culture platform with integrated electrode arrays for monitoring cell growth and electrical properties (i.e., the so-called “electrical phenotype”). In this paper, a system consisting of a 16-channel solid-state analog multiplexer (MUX)paired with a low-cost, …

As-932-22 Resolution On Updating Retention Of Exam And Gradebook Policy, Academic Senate Executive Committee

Academic Senate Resolutions

Aligns Cal Poly’s exam retention policy with the CSU policy, specifically with sections 4.2.20, 4.2.22, and 4.2.24 of the CSU policy. It also resolves that in all cases, either digital or physical retention of records and materials is permissible. In the case of final projects falling under 4.2.20 that produce large physical artifacts, retention of a digital record such as a photo may be appropriate. And it resolves that the language in the appropriate section of the Academic Programs website shall be updated.

As-930-22 Resolution On Temporary Adoption Of A 3-Year Catalog During Quarter-To-Semester Conversion, Academic Senate Curriculum Committee, General Education Governance Board, United States Cultural Pluralism Committee

Academic Senate Resolutions

Approved a policy for temporarily converting to a three-year Catalog cycle, which reclassified the 2022-23 Catalog currently undergoing final review as the 2022-2025 Catalog; and furthermore, resolved that the 2022-2025 Catalog go into effect for Fall 2022 through Summer 2025, and that this resolution will expire in Fall 2025, returning Cal Poly to a one-year cycle of Catalog review.

On The Oval Shapes Of Beach Stones, Theodore P. Hill

Research Scholars in Residence

This article introduces a new stochastic non-isotropic frictional abrasion model, in the form of a single short partial integro-differential equation, to show how frictional abrasion alone of a stone on a planar beach might lead to the oval shapes observed empirically. The underlying idea in this theory is the intuitive observation that the rate of ablation at a point on the surface of the stone is proportional to the product of the curvature of the stone at that point and the likelihood the stone is in contact with the beach at that point. Specifically, key roles in this new model …

As-931-22 Resolution On The Cal Poly College Based Fee Student Aid And Learn By Doing Plan, Academic Senate Budget & Long-Range Planning Committee

Endorses a plan to change the College Based Fee, and offers other suggestions and approaches for lowering the cost of attending Cal Poly.

As-929-22 Resolution On Revisions To University Faculty Personnel Policies 12.2: Office Hours, Academic Senate Faculty Affairs Committee

Academic Senate Resolutions

Enacts for Fall 2022 the university office hour policy as contained in the attached report “Revision to UFPP 12.2: Office Hours”, and further resolves that colleges revise chapter 12 of their personnel policy documents by Fall 29 2022 to include the mandated college-level office hour policies as indicated in UFPP 12.2.

Living Library Digital Exhibit, Emma Davis, Jaime Ding, Catherine J. Trujillo

Creative Works

The living wall was designed around three main concepts: Sustainability, community, and beauty. Recycled and repurposed industrial material composed from pallets makes up the frame while plants soften and give life to the display. The student designers invited the community to interact with the wall as a way to make fresh produce and plants grown on campus available for people to enjoy. We often forget to look around and savor the natural world we live in. By inviting nature and sustainability into our living and studying space we are reminded that the world is beautiful and worth protecting.

Me 343 Heat Transfer Laboratory, 6th Edition

Mechanical Engineering Lab Manuals

Welcome to the documentation used to describe and conduct ten heat transfer experiments located in the Thermal Sciences Laboratory in Building 13, Room 203, at Cal Poly State University. All of the experiments are designed to illustrate many of the concepts that are presented in undergraduate thermodynamics and heat transfer classes. The first objective of each lab is to provide students with hands-on experience with thermal science experiments. This includes working with standard facilities and instrumentation commonly found in thermal science laboratories. The second objective of each lab is to learn how to use experimentally collected data to either validate …

Chismearte, Catherine J. Trujillo, Jessica Eng

Creative Works

ChismeArte is a magazine of hybrid, radical street art, Barrio iconography, and avant-garde literature that questioned, expanded, and experimented with the possibilities of Chicano urban identity.

The ChismeArte Digital Experience is a collaborative effort with Robert E. Kennedy Library and Cal Poly faculty, staff, and students. The project shares the Kennedy Library 2008 onsite exhibition “ChismeArte ¡Y Que! Expanding Los Angeles’ Chicano Aesthetic” as well as scholarly access to the magazine archival editions, and an anthology of voices, remembrances, and interpretations inspired by ChismeArte.
