Battaglini Winery: Marketing Collateral Development & Rebranding
The Battaglini Winery is a small family-run winery located in Sonoma County. The winery has no existing brand guidelines and any marketing collateral in current use has outdated information and design elements. The purpose of this project is to provide the winery with cohesive and refreshed brand guidelines while using these guidelines to generate relevant marketing materials for consumers
Moondoggie\u27s Ad
I created a 2 minute ad for Moondoggies that defines the brands “attitude” as well as establishes its demographic, highlights the products they sell, and showcases the natural beauty of the region Moondoggies was founded in
Rebranding Lauren Hope Photography
Lauren Toomey has been building her business, Lauren Hope Photography, for the past six years. During this time, she has developed a website as well as a social media presence, but has yet to establish a clear brand identity. This project served as motivation for Lauren to define her brand identity, which allowed her to create branding guidelines that could then be implemented across print and digital media
CubiCom: Noisy Office Environment Communication Device
The CubiCom is a system that enables secure and clear communication between users in a noisy office space. It can function in any small cubicle within a 12 foot radius. The system consists of a series of wireless headsets for 6 users to transmit and receive audio, and a communication box that facilitates this process. These headsets are noise-dampening, preventing ambient sounds from interrupting conversation and making sure that all parties can hear each other clearly. Line-of-sight (L.O.S.) with each headset is required to have proper communication between users. This feature ensures no one outside of the room can eavesdrop, which establishes privacy. The headsets also require pairing to the communications box to transmit audio to other users, which adds another layer of security. The CubiCom also has features that prioritize ease-of-use. Each headset incorporates both accessible and adjustable volume controls for the microphone and headphones. Additionally, the installation process features minimal connections to make setup quick and convenient
Variable Frequency Motor Drive Application
This project entails the development of an electrical engineering undergraduate lab module focusing on utilizing a variable frequency drive (VFD) controlled with a programmable logic controller (PLC) — the Modicon M580. The variable frequency drive is a device that is able to automatically change the frequency of an object through automation without having to physically change the device that is being controlled (ex: fans, pumps, motors, etc.). This project will guide students to understand the software for programming and controlling the PLC within a 3 hour laboratory experiment. Throughout the lab, the students will learn how to implement the PLC with the VFD motor using Schneider’s software to change the frequency of the motor and implement the Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) controller to maintain a desired speed. From this laboratory experiment, students will gain knowledge of the power of this PLC through a unique experience including seeing physical changes take place to further understand what they are actually doing on the simulation side
Morro Bay 2023 Non-Vehicular Circulation Plan
The Non-Vehicular Transportation in Morro Bay plan notes that bicycle and pedestrian circulation are vital aspects in bettering the city\u27s lifestyle for both residents and visitors. These forms of transportation within the community help to promote local business and ecotourism (City of Morro Bay & JBG Consulting, LLC, 2012). This document describes the city of Morro Bay’s existing conditions, relevance to existing planning documents, case studies, as well as policies and implementation. The main goal of this plan is to improve the biking and walking conditions in Morro Bay and to create a non-vehicular transportation plan that is up to date with the 2021 Plan Morro Bay city plan
Thermal Inequity and Planning Practices: Uncovering the Linkages and Creating Equitable Mitigation Strategies
This paper examines the ways in which historical planning practices have contributed to the unequal vulnerability of marginalized communities to extreme heat, resulting in thermal inequity. Historical planning practices including discriminatory policies and uneven resource allocation, have intensified the effect of the urban heat island (UHI), leading to increased exposure to extreme heat and its associated health risk. Understanding the correlation between planning practices and the UHI effect is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate extreme heat impacts and improve thermal equity. By analyzing the underlying factors and consequences of planning decisions, this research aims to inform policy makers, urban planners, and stakeholders about the responsibilities they hold in addressing thermal inequities. This paper concludes with a discussion of effective mitigation strategies cities can develop that promote a more equitable and resilient environment, ensuring the well-being of all residents, especially those in marginalized communities
Zero-Waste Ocean Floor Hydrophone Mooring
Maddie Schroth-Glanz, from the Statistics Department of Cal Poly, requires a system that assists in the deployment and retrieval of a marine hydrophone used to record ocean mammal vocalization patterns, specifically in large whales. This report discusses the final design, including changes to the design after the Critical Design Review, and the tests that were done to ensure the final design achieves the specifications of the project. We will discuss everything from material purchases to manufacturing and assembly for all subsystems of the project, and then discuss how our testing justified the design choices we made. Finally, the report will discuss recommendations and further steps that can be taken to improve upon and complete this project. The appendices include a user manual, risk assessment of the final product, final budget, software, the design verification plan and report, and the test procedures that were followed
Valve Efficiency Testing Device
This document serves as the official Final Design Review (FDR) for the mechanical engineering team on the Valve Efficiency Testing Device project for the Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery. The team attends California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The project involved designing and building a valve efficiency testing device. The goal was to create a finished test device that can be used in the Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery machine shop to test reciprocating compressor valves before they are installed. The purpose of this document is to describe the manufacturing and design verification activities that have been completed since Critical Design Review in February and evaluate how well the design achieves the project’s goals. The key findings of this report include a description of the final design, as well as how the final prototype was manufactured and tested. It also summarizes lessons learned throughout the project, along with recommendations for Phillips 66 concerning the optimal utilization of the test stand. During testing, the test stand successfully measured the leakage of 8-inch suction and discharge poppet valves and reported leakages much less than the maximum allowable leakage of the given valves. The final design meets the objectives because it is fast to test one valve and can test valves up to 16 inches in diameter. By following the recommendations, Phillips 66 can safely and successfully utilize the test stand in determining valve efficiency and adopt the test stand for a wider range of valve sizes
