The documents are concurrently used for the Agriculture Incentive Grant review process at Soledad 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 Soledad High School, the agriculture program and the community
Theoretical and Experimental Study of Active Magnetic Bearing Control Integrated on Bently\u27s Rotor Kit
Get PDFThis thesis focuses on the comprehensive study of controlling a customized Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) installed on Bently Nevada’s RK4 rotor kit in Cal Poly’s Vibrations and Rotordynamics Lab. The AMB was uniquely designed and manufactured by a Cal Poly senior project team to fit Bently’s rotor kit and the results of this research are distinctive to the custom system. To achieve practical functionality of the AMB system, we designed a controller a Virtual Instrument (VI) using the National Instrument software, LabVIEW. From the experimental study, we calibrated the programming to find unknown parameters of the AMB system and validated the design using a well-established industrial rotordyanmics software, Bentley Nevada System 1. The development of the control programming consists of theoretical analysis (MATLAB/ Simulink) and simulation validation (MSC ADAMS View). Both linear and non-linear models were implemented in MATLAB and Simulink to effectively tune a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control developed for various AMB models. To validate the theoretical results, we compared them to results from a co-simulation using MSC Adams VIEW, a multi-body dynamics simulation, and Simulink. From experimental trial and error at a shaft rotational speed of 2800 rpm, a 16% decrease in shaft orbit was achieved. These results demonstrate the practicality of the control program and custom AMB rotor kit that can be used for further research
AS-965-23 Resolution on UFPP 11.6 Academic Unit Reorganization
Get PDFSeparates academic unit reorganization policies and procedures from policy and procedure related to matters of curriculum such as program suspension; and further resolves that these policies and procedures may be implemented as soon as the President approves them and they are placed on the Academic Programs and Planning Academic Policies webpage; and further resolves that the attached academic unit reorganization policies and procedures be published in UFPP for academic year 2024-25
Skip the Grid: Empowering the Navajo Nation Through Solar Energy
Get PDFSkip the Grid is an interdisciplinary service project through California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) where students and faculty partnered with sponsors including SOLV Energy and Goal Zero, and facilitation by Heart of America, an educational equity non-profit, to bring solar power to 27 families of school aged children in the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation is a historically disadvantaged community which lacks the infrastructure and financial capacity to provide electrical service to about a third of the families living on the reservation. Families in the Red Mesa and Chinle School Districts were the focus for this initiative in addressing their needs for light and electricity to support their educational needs. With plans for installing environmentally and socially equitable solar energy systems, all stakeholders involved were able to incorporate lessons learned based on prior implementations of this project from previous years. Although faced with several logistical challenges, the coordination of these interdisciplinary groups of students delivered the successful installation of solar panels to these 27 families in the reservation. These families’ lives have seen the tremendous positive impact in having access to clean, affordable off-grid electricity. This paper documents how pre-task planning and means and methods were developed, assessed, improved, and incorporated into the 2023 implementation of the Skip the Grid project, as well as recording lessons learned for future groups to reference
Profitability Analysis of The Commons
Get PDFGiven the current saturated housing market, prices of single-family dwellings have exponentially increased. Due to this housing crisis, alternative housing approaches need to be considered. One potential solution to increasing the supply of affordable housing units is a tiny house village community. Tiny house communities can carry with them a stigma of rundown looks and an RV park aesthetic, but they don\u27t need to. Tiny house communities, at their best, can be thriving communities that are anchored in communal living, shared resources, and affordability.The Commons is a proposed tiny house village development that would be located on 1.6 acres. The land would hold 38 units, with each unit being 600 sq ft. This housing development would likely attract recent graduates, young couples, and retired individuals. Given the current zoning and density regulations of the City of San Luis Obispo, a project such as The Commons has little to no profitability. Looking into the future, city zoning regulations could be revised to encourage developments like The Commons.Each piece of zoned land has a cap for how many density units are allowed on the land, so if each 600 sq ft unit accounted for less density, profitability could increase. Under current city regulations, each 600 sq ft unit gets a density coefficient of .5. However, if this size housing unit were to have a density coefficient of .25, projects such as The Commons would become profitable. In addition to revising density regulations, increased financial matching per unit by the city and the decrease of city impact fees could also encourage affordable housing growth
The Torii Project: Installation Manual
Get PDFServing as a symbolic gateway that establishes the entrance to a sacred space, is known as a Torii. The Torii is a traditional Japanese gate that holds great significance in Japanese culture. Our team is inspired to create a respectable and culturally appropriate Japanese torii in hopes of honoring the Japanese, Japanese-American community within the campus and the central coast. This Torii is meant to serve as a token of diversity, equity and inclusion in the Cal Poly community. The scope of manual for the Torii project explores what it takes for the installation process of the Torii after manufacturing is complete. The essence of the manual is to guide a future student to complete the Torii project, which consists of installing the Torii in the designated area within the Leaning Pine Arboretum within the Cal Poly Campus. The manual consists of the history of the project, a site-specific safety plan, site logistics plan, details of the excavation and foundation system, the procurement and installation of materials, the bracing system and the concrete formwork. Additionally, a brief conversation on the collaborative design of a Japanese-inspired garden that will house the Torii in the future
