CAL POLY CIVIL ENGINEERING SHOWCASE

CAL POLY, SAN LUIS OBISPO
DEPT. OF CIVIL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

Industry Practitioners, Colleagues, Members of the Community, Guest Speakers, and Fellow Faculty; Good Afternoon, 

On behalf of the Department of Civil Engineering, it is our pleasure to invite you to the Cal Poly Civil Engineering Senior Design Showcase for 2014 (Tuesday, May 20, 2014 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm).  This Showcase (specific to Civil Engineering) is an event where students, faculty, and industry members come together to see this year’s Civil Engineering student projects.  The event will be located at the Cal Poly Advanced Technology Laboratories (Bldg 007) in San Luis Obispo, CA (Cal Poly ATL).   

This year’s project was the Johnson Avenue Housing Project.  Senior Design I & II serve as both a capstone to our undergraduate students’ educational careers and a cornerstone to our future alumni’s professional careers. Thus, this course is central to our students bridging the gap between the theory addressed in their courses and the application that they will face in industry. Their designs are a culmination of six months of effort from 20 design teams each consisting of 5-6 graduating seniors. Student design teams will be presenting their work in an open forum interactive poster session.  Please note that our Award Winning Canoe and Bridge Teams will also be presenting a poster/displays.  

We hope that you can attend this year's exciting event!

LOCATION, DATE & TIME:
Tuesday, May 20, 2014 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm (or come and go any time in between 6:00 to 8:00 pm) at the Cal Poly ATL. 

Light snacks and drinks will be provided and you need NOT RSVP.
