TrustGuard: Containment Architecture
Get PDFAll software security relies on proper execution at the hardware level. This research extends work on containment architectures, which ensure that any ill effects of malicious or buggy hardware are contained within the system. This is accomplished by a small, security hardware component, called the Sentry, validating communication before it leaves the system. This research assesses the advantages and disadvantages of using the CHISEL hardware language, from a security and verification standpoint. Further, this research investigates more efficient Merkle trees to optimization caching within the Sentry chip to improve performance and power utilization
BurnsBucha - Kombucha Beverage Brand Identity
Get PDFPROJECT SCOPE
When you compare wineries to Kombucha companies, there is a significant opportunity in the market for more Kombucha brands. This project aims to establish comprehensive design guidelines, determine the most environmentally friendly printing method for packaging, create initial packaging concepts that incorporate labeling for those with visual impairments, and create initial packaging concepts, including the completion of the beverage product itself.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The result of this project is to design the brand identity, logo, label, and packaging for a fictional kombucha beverage company.
OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT
I would like to take advantage of creating the brand identity: logo, label, and packaging for BurnsBucha, a Kombucha company my sister and I envision establishing
Discussing the History of Ideas in a Data Science Seminar
Get PDFAs one part of an NSF-sponsored Data Science Fellowship at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, a group of faculty offered a unique one- unit quarter-long seminar on the history of ideas behind the core principles of Data Science. We present an overview of this seminar, its learning objectives, and outcomes and lessons learned
The methods of communication and education used to train forest and fire personnel through the Swanton Pacific Ranch
Get PDFCalifornia does not have a cohesive curriculum for educating and training forest and fire professionals. The Swanton Pacific Ranch Fuels Management Training Program is Cal Fire affiliated and provides online and in person training to assist in equipping fire and forest professionals throughout California with the necessary skills to be successful fire and forest practitioners and managers. An exit survey was offered to all workshop participants after the Swanton workshop concluded. The survey was answered by 331 Swanton workshop participants to assess the effectiveness of the training program, the educational practices used to teach participants, and what factors of a participant’s background influence their change in knowledge. Analyses indicate that specific elements of a Swanton workshop participant’s background (i.e., gender and years of experience) as well as workshop type strongly correlate with their overall change in knowledge. Swanton workshop participants identified five best educational practices for their learning experience that also aligned with best practices identified in the literature. These practices included personal experiences, engaging instructors, presentations, explanations, external resources, detailed definitions, and a facilitated question and answer portion. Multiple instructors during hands-on and online Zoom sessions were beneficial for engagement and organization. The workshop\u27s accessibility benefits those in the industry thus making it helpful. The employment of the five best practices also showed significant correlation with greater changes in workshop participant\u27s change in knowledge. The results also indicate that the Swanton Pacific Ranch Fuels Management Training Program is effective due to a consistent increase in knowledge obtained after the workshop. These results can be used to create a cohesive training curriculum for the state of California to ensure that well rounded fire and forest personnel are maintaining California forests. The results can also assist in creating a cohesive framework for all Swanton workshops to follow to maintain effectiveness
Student’s Conceptualization of Engineering Design Over Multiple Design Experiences
Get PDFCal Poly’s undergraduate engineering program requires a design experience for each of the four years. This research project\u27s focus is to better understand how students are conceptualizing engineering design over their multiple design projects. Data was collected through a comprehensive survey given to 73 engineering students. The questions in this survey targeted student’s comprehension and relationship with design, as well as their demographics and course history. Open-ended questions were organized using a thematic coding system which were then compared to the demographics and course history information. This process resulted in four separate comparisons between the survey questions. Interpreting these results reveals essential information to better support student learning. Correlations point to areas where students may need additional help in design thinking. Themes among the responses indicate students’ thought processes behind engineering design. The next steps for this project include conducting follow-up interviews and further interpreting the results
