STEMS Research Study

STΣMS: Students’ Experiences in Math and Science Study Dear Dr.  Dragos , I am writing to invite your  Engineering   students to participate in a study about their experiences in the major. We have one that is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and is approved by CPP IRB Protocol #10-138 for research with human participants.This study is for students who have at least 2 years left here at Cal Poly Pomona . We have another study for students in all grade levels and is approved by  CPP IRB Protocol  # 11-117  for research with human participants. I am a Research Assistant for Dr. Bettina Casad, a Psychology Professor at Cal Poly Pomona and the Principal Investigator on the project. In the  STΣMS: Students’ Experiences in Math and Science Study , Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math students from Cal Poly Pomona will complete a series of online questionnaires, interviews, and lab sessions over the next 2 years. Participants will be paid $85-$205 over the course of

Neal deserves a big poster in our concrete lab. Ever wondered who took care that students will have enough aggregate for the lab? Neal did, sacrificing weekends and lunch breaks to come on campus and re-fill our supply of sand and gravel. Ever wondered who provides the admixtures we use in concrete lab? Ever wondered who helps out our concrete canoe team? But how many of you participated in the field trips to the CEMEX plant in Orange? Remember who your guide was? Neal always said yes when we asked for help. He is Senior Quality Control Manager at CEMEX , a great company that has helped us and our students on many occasions. Neal deals with concrete mix design and testing on a daily basis. At nights, you might see Neal in concrete lab, teaching part-time for CE and CET. Ask him all you want to know about concrete, but in the end, don't forget to say ... thank you.

Thank You

A new category on this blog. How often we forget to say thank you ... I would like to start this new category to introduce you to people that helped us provide you with a better learning experience here at Cal Poly. They kindly offered and offer to help, personally or through the companies they work for. They don't have to ... but they understand and they want to help. Please look for new posts in this category, and when you meet these people ... don't forget to say thank you.
