Expanding on Leadership and Professional Skills for a Girls Build Summer Academy
Get PDFThe construction industry has historically been male-dominated. Despite efforts by organizations and companies to encourage women to join the industry, there has been little progress in encouraging more women to enter the industry and getting them to stay. The construction management program at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo is developing and hosting a Girls Build Summer Academy to familiarize and encourage high school girls to explore construction as a career path. One segment of this boot camp includes leadership modules that will give the girls confidence and the skills they need to be successful leaders in construction. Through research, surveys, and interviews the three top categories to teach young girls to be successful in construction were decided. The boot camp will focus on exposure to role models and career paths in construction, education on the importance of mentorship, and show them the importance of effective communication
Jugando sin fronteras: Apoyando el Desarrollo Bilingüe a Través del Juego
No full textJugando sin fronteras is a website aimed at both speakers of Spanish and English within San Luis Obispo county. This project attempts to break down the cultural and linguistic gaps between students of bilingual education systems. Jugando sin fronteras is dedicated to uniting language groups and facilitating intercultural communication by demonstrating the use of both Spanish and English equally in bilingual spaces
Evaluating SmartRock Temperature Sensor Performance in Measuring Concrete Strength
Get PDFConcrete testing is one of the most important parts of the concrete placement process. Traditionally, this is done through the use of 6x12 cylinders cured in a lab that are broken at various stages of the curing process. These cylinders are not necessarily representative of the in-situ concrete because of their differing curing conditions- indoors versus exposed to the elements. Wireless temperature sensors, like Giatec’s SmartRock, have the potential to determine concrete strength based off the temperature of the placed concrete over time, thus eliminating the need for cylinder breaks. Once calibrated to the specific mix design, these wireless sensors could prove to be a valuable tool to contractors as they could allow early stripping of forms or removal of concrete that is unlikely to make a specified strength. The accuracy of these sensors, and the difference between lab-cured and in-situ concrete, was tested against break tests performed using Cal Poly’s CM 114 Mix A. It was found that the sensors were within 7.7% of the broken results. The in-situ concrete compressive strength was within 3.6% of the lab-cured concrete. These results indicate no significant difference in compressive strength between sensors and cylinders, or between lab-cured and in-situ concrete

Talia Cooks 4 You: Brand and Product Development
Get PDFI created a Cookbook for Talia because I wanted to incorporate easy to follow recipes and helpful techniques to teach food science basics. She is a fourth-year Food Science major with a concentration in Culinology. Her love for cooking and baking led her to food science, which has changed the way she sees food and cooking for the better. She has a significant following so I wanted to create a brand for her that she can build off of in the future. My three deliverables for this project are a physical cookbook, marketing for her product, and a website to sell her products
