6. Tech Elective Option |
Appropriate Technology for the World’s People: Design
This is a “Design and Build”
class aimed at practical technologies for world’s poor, but also emphasizes
innovation, societal context, and empathic design. In the past, there has been
a considerable number of engineering students working along side Arts students,
each benefitting from the interdisciplinary exposure. A great technical
elective option for engineering students.
Univ 392 Appropriate
Technology for the World's People: Design
GE Area F
Term Typically Offered: W
Prerequisite: Junior
standing and completion of GE Area B, or graduate standing. Recommended: UNIV
391, GE Area D2, GE Area D3
Addresses the needs of
international impoverished communities with technological solutions, which are
inexpensive, ecological sustainable, and socially appropriate. Group student of
target communities, and design and construction of an appropriate technology
prototype.
For more information contact
Pete Schwartz at pschwart@calpoly.edu .

7. Winter Course 2016 Offering LAES 411: Global Synthesis
in Liberal Arts & Engineering Studies
In this hands-on class you will work in teams to revise and
improve Solar Powered Educational Learning Library kits that disseminate
educational materials over an off-line Wi-Fi hotspot. Last year, we designed,
built, and deployed 50 SPELL libraries! We also discovered plenty of room for
improvement so that the project can expand. Are you up for the challenge?
To Enroll: This Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies (LAES) 411 class
is open to all Cal Poly students with Junior standing or above. Admission by instructor approval only.
Contact Prof. Laura Hosman: lhosman@calpoly.edu

8. Order of the Engineer
Ceremony | December 11 | 4 – 6pm | Bldg 007
The Order of the Engineer is an association for graduate and
professional engineers in the United States, it emphasizes pride and
responsibility in the engineering profession. This is not a membership
organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead,
the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one's pledge.
At the ceremony, you will take an oath in which you promise to be
an ethical engineer. Then, Dean Larson will induct you with a ring and
certificate. The ring is worn on your pinky finger of your dominate hand. It
will make a *clink* noise when you sign your name on documents which will
remind you to always be an ethical engineer.
For more information about the Order: http://www.order-of-the-engineer.org
You can register at the link below, the Engineering Dean's Office
or the ESC table in front of the library.

9. Automated Crop/Irrigation Monitoring Project Needs a CPE Student
BioResource
and Agricultural Engineering students David Ashton and Jimmy
Roslund are working to upgrade their U-Farm system, a irrigation monitoring
system for crops. Because sensors are in every part of the system, they would
like to monitor each individual U-Farm from a "base-station" or
central station. This would allow them to send messages to the farmer of each
U-Farm, via mobile app, that would inform the farm on tasks to be completed. The
system would also allow the central station to send a maintenance engineer
address the issues and lower liability issues. The system could also suggest
recipes based upon what the farmer is growing at the time.
They are looking for a CSC/EE/CPE team member who could program an app
and "base station" to accomplish the tasks outlined above. They would also like someone that could aid
the current group members on programming the main interface of the U-Farm.
For more information, contact David Ashton at david.ashton27@gmail.com.
