Living Lab Grant to offer a special class involving students to deal with
traffic-related design issues on campus. Industrial people were invited to offer
instruction on the state-of-the-practice knowledge on traffic control devices
and traffic impact.
• CE491-492-493: This is a two quarter collaborative senior project.
Students worked with Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning students.
Focus of the project is the OLDA line. Students reviewed project data and
then developed alternatives for a light rail corridor from Santa Clarita to
Cerritos, through Los Angeles. Working in interdisciplinary teams, students
gained an understanding of multimodal rail transit and how the three
disciplines collaborate in industry. During the first quarter, this was a 4 unit
class, with all three disciplines working together. During the second quarter,
this was a 2 unit class, with Civil Engineers working on finalizing the selected
alternative designs. The extra 2 units were counted as a technical elective
credit.

Page 3 of 126 I taught Geographical Information Systems/Laboratory (CE 484/484L) in
Winter 2014. For the first time, I made this class a project-based course which
was difficult because students had to learn GIS concepts, perform the
exercises using the software ArcGIS, then apply the skills acquired to solve an
engineering problem all in 10 weeks. To make sure that students would have a
significant experience, they were grouped in 2, 3, or 4 members, although a
few opted to work individually. I made sure that the project was reasonable
and noteworthy with respect to the number of members in a group.
Throughout the quarter, students were asked to report their activities to make
sure they were making reasonable progress with their projects. This became
part of their recitation, and the activity was a way to check the students’
attendance for the day. At the end of the class, one of the students informed
me that his supervisor was so impressed with his GIS project that he (the
supervisor) offered my student a side job to figure out how to reference sewer
as-builds to the map of the city to replace their company’s old filing system.
Also in Winter 2014, I taught Geodesy and Satellite Surveying (CE 311). I
handled this class a year ago. For the first time, students were asked, in pairs,
to deliver lighting talks of the “Future of Global Positioning System (GPS)”.
(Last year, this topic was discussed in lecture style.) These lighting talks
challenged the students to deliver a topic in just five minutes, with only one
slide to show everything they needed to discuss, and at the same time, to make
that one slide interesting. I made the activities in this class as varied as
possible. I gave seatwork where they had to perform computations.
Sometimes, I would ask them to have a short discussion in pairs, then report
what they discussed. For example, one of the topics was to discuss the issues
when building a train system from San Diego, California, to Vancouver,
Canada. They were also required, in pairs, to write a short proposal for
building a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) station on
campus. The proposals were presented in lightning talks.
I also handled three laboratory sessions in Groundwater, Contaminant
Transport and Remediation Laboratory (CE 456 L) in Winter 2014. (The
principal lecturer for this class was Dr. Monica Palomo.) In those sessions, I
introduced the use, importance, and relevance of geographic information
systems (GIS) in groundwater modeling. Students were asked to perform an
introductory exercise in ArcGIS. Then they were required to download
shapefiles of features and model parameters (e.g., basin, rivers, rain gauge)
important in groundwater modeling for the Spadra basin. The deliverable was
College of Engineering Annual Report •
a map of these features and model parameters. In pairs, they also presented
lighting talks of topics related to groundwater and GIS.
I am currently teaching Elementary Surveying Laboratory (CE 134L) in
Spring 2014. I required students to download mobile apps to assist them in
their field work. These apps have different purposes. Examples of downloaded
apps were intended to assist the students to communicate with each other
(e.g., walkie-talkie app), to compute for area, to determine parameters needed
to complete the field book (e.g., temperature, pressure), and to roughly check
angles and distances. This activity was part of my proposal when I acquired an
iPad from the NSF- ADVANCE project. (In this same period, I wrote a
successful proposal to acquire iPads for this class. Future students in this class
will use the iPads to view lab instructions and to share data.)

CE 451 – Engineering Hydrology. Began creating the second iteration of
hybrid instruction for this course. In this version, all of the videos were
subdivided so that their length is limited to less than 7 minutes. Research has
shown that videos longer than 10 minutes are typically only watched for 4
minutes.
CE 332 – Hydraulic Engineering. During the winter term I created screencast
of lectures for all the material similar in format to those materials created for
CE 451. I was also able to help train Dr Fairbank to begin creating lectures
for her version of CE 332 and CE 451. I also helped train Dr. Shokoufeh
Mirzaei to hybridize her graduate course in systems operations.
As part developing this hybrid course I have also been trying to identify the
cheapest easiest technology to use that will allow more of my colleagues to
begin moving more content online. I expect to have a preliminary report
summarizing this work for Fall 2014

fall
2013/winter 2014/spring 2014
o Students enrolled in this class were mentored through the CPP-PCC
project funded by the Department of Education. A total of 11, 5 and 5
(fall, winter and spring quarters respectively) were mentored by me. At
the same time CE-CPP students became mentors of Pasadena City
College science students. The REUS curriculum was created to
provide basic research skills to current CPP students and prepare them
to become mentors of peer students and for future use in graduate
programs.
During fall CPP and PCC students were given with constrains to solve a
simple environmental problem with a well-known outcome. Students had a
senior peer mentor to facilitate the training. Part of the REUS curriculum was
developed to promote the interaction with PCC students. Fieldtrips and work

Page 5 of 126 sessions were attended by students of both institutions to support the
collaborative work. CPP engineers supported the engineering portion of the
project developed by PCC students. At the end of fall an online poster session
was put together and students from both institutions were able to review all
the work done and critique peers results and respond to questions related to
their work.
In winter quarter CPP students dedicated a lot of time to the reading of
literature review, analysis of the fall data and on preparing a paper and a
poster to present the results of their research work. In addition, PCC student
were invited to CPP and engineering students presented the results of their
work to them, I working session followed the presentation. Teams (PCC and
CPP) students were made and students follow up via e-mail, Facebook, and
other online means. CPP students presented their work at the CPP
undergraduate research competition. During winter a scientist from the
Central Cost Water Quality Control Board (CC WQCB) in San Luis Obispo,
contacted me because he learn about the natural treatment system research my
group is doing and he expressed interest on using our system to evaluate some
conditions he is observing in the field. I decided to partner with him and the
REUS students were given this new problem to evaluate during the spring
quarter.
In spring quarter, I took CPP students to PCC to support PCC students with
the implementation portion of the environmental project. A day was spent at
PCC and the collaboration between engineers and scientist was very
productive. CPP students served as consultants of the PCC students during the
duration of the experiment. At the culmination of the semester (mid spring
quarter), PCC students came back to CPP and presented their results to
students and faculty. The outcomes from the multidisciplinary and
collaborative work were impressive. All students and faculty involved were
pleased with the outcomes. In addition, as part of the curriculum Dr. Lina
Neto provided some information about CPP and Engineering.
CPP students are still working on addressing the problems as presented by the
CC WQCB, and upon completion, students will prepare a report and a
presentation to be given at the CC WQCB headquarters. It is expected to
finalize the project in the second week of summer. At the end of the project
students will have prepared an abstract, a poster and a presentation. Student
will submit their work for presentation at the ASCE Environmental and Water
Resources Institute of 2015 (a professional conference).
CE 432 Wastewater Treatment Engineering winter 2014
The i-Clicker was used to collect student responses, to provide immediate
feedback and to asses class progress. Every student was required to bring an iClicker to class and it was used every day. The i-Clicker increased student
interaction and significantly helped to engage students in class.
CE 456 Groundwater, contaminant transport and remediation winter 2014
Use of technology was implemented in three different ways: 1) The i-Clicker
was used to collect student responses, to provide immediate feedback and to
asses class progress. Every student was required to bring an i-Clicker to class

and it was used every day. The i-Clicker increased student interaction and
significantly helped to engage students in class.
In addition, Doceri (an i-pad app) was used to produce some videos to be
delivered online to support class and laboratory activities; and finally; 3)
existing groundwater simulations (designed by other university) were used in
lecture to illustrate groundwater pollutant’s fate and transport and to facilitate
the understanding of the differential equations that are used to describe such
behavior.
EGR 299 S Engineering Outreach winter 2014 and spring 2014
As part of a project funded by the Kellogg Legacy program and in partnership
with the College of Engineering I offered for first time the EGR 299 class.
The class has two main objectives 1) enhance the technical and professional
training of CPP undergraduate students while designing engineering outreach
demos; and 2) engage K-12 students (mainly from groups underrepresented in
engineering) by the interaction with CPP students and the technical
demonstrations developed by them. CPP students designed demos, went to
service learning parent school and delivered the activities to middle school
students. The culmination of the class objectives was the development of a
camps activity where CPP students hosted the middle school students and
their parents. The class is classified as service learning course.

Page 6 of 126 For the past several years I have been my documenting my introductory lab
exercises on video for access for the students before the actual laboratory
session. This year I added 6 new video labs for ETE280L and ETE335L.
In all of my courses I make extensive use of Blackboard with multiple
postings every week.
This past academic year I was a Service Learning Faculty Fellow in which I
developed a Service Learning Laboratory ETE280L-S. The community
partner, GRID Alternatives has been approved by the University and course

documentation submitted for the S (Service-Learning) designation for use in
AY 2014-15.
Every year new equipment is added to existing laboratories and laboratory
exercises are developed to put this equipment to use. This year I developed
new laboratory exercises for ETE420 Instrumentation with LabVIEW which
included Stepper Motor interfacing and control, in ETE280 Industrial
Electronics exercises for Siemens, Allen-Bradley and Mitsubishi
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) were developed along with a home
Energy Audit using WattsUP meters. The WattsUp meters were obtained in a
Chancellors Office Service Learning project completed in Summer of 2013. In
ETE305L a new lab was developed around the Agilent 35670A Dynamic
Signal Analyzer.
Laboratory projects along with regular lab work were utilized in ETE420L
Electronic Instrumentation with LabVIEW (F13) and ETE280L Industrial
Electronics (W14).
In July 2013 I became a Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD)
which requires and passing score on a proctored exam. As a result of this
Certification I was provided specialized teaching material for LabVIEW and
was allowed to the proctor and administer the CLAD exam free (normally
$100) for my ETE420 students who chose to take the exam. Seventeen
students opted to take the Certification exam which included 6 weeks of extra
3-hour Saturday sessions.
For the past 20 years I have been the faculty advisor to Engineering students
participating in Alternative Energy Design Competitions (Solar Car in the past
and Solar Boat currently). These student teams primarily meet on Saturdays
throughout the school year and I work with them during these sessions along
with serving as the Club Advisor.
I continue to serve as a club Advisor for SCETA (Southern California
Engineering Technologists Association) and work with the IEEE PES Power
and Energy Society and ISA International Society of Automation. I made two
presentations to the IEEE-PES group this year on the San Diego Power
Outage of September 2012 and the Alternative Energy Mandate for all
Utilities and organized site visits at the Lyle Center and Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power (Sylmar Converter Station and Castaic
Pumped Storage). For the ISA I made a presentation of Industrial
Instrumentation, conducted two workshops on Industrial Temperature
Measurement and PLCs and coordinated a site visit to Moore Industries.

Discuss courses taught during the ACADEMIC year Summer 2013 through
Spring 2014 that implemented new teaching techniques or pedagogy, or added
high impact practices, including use of technology, online or hybrid sections,
service learning, internships or cooperative education, honors sections, senior
theses, projects, or capstone seminars, and interdisciplinary material.
During the winter and spring quarters 2014, I taught two sections of ETT400
(Independent Study) for undergraduate students with 9 and 14 students
respectively. Interdisciplinary teams of students from electronics/computer
engineering as well as mechanical engineering technology worked on projects
related to Bioengineering and Bio-robotics technology. The students were
exposed to extensive research and literature review of state-of-the-art
technology and presented weekly reports on their topics. They developed
proposals and prototypes of assistive technology and rehabilitation aid
devices.
Examples of the projects follow:
o Bimanual Robotic Device for Post-Stroke therapy
o Integration of Eye tracking and a Robotic Haptic Device using
LabVIEW for Eye-Hand
Coordination Assessment/Therapy
o Design/Implementation of a Rehabilitative Neck Brace
o Design of a Wheelchair Standup Platform
o Proposal for a design of a Memory Aid System for Alzheimer’s

• During the spring quarter 2014, EMT 549 was scheduled for Mondays 6:009:50 pm. The duration and schedule of the class-- after a long day of work-not only lowers the students’ learning outcome but also might cause personal
difficulties. The students might be concerned about leaving the campus too
late, or those who usually commute with public transportation might not be
able catch their bus or train after the class. Thus, to reduce the “seat time” at a
few of the lectures, some sample videos were made to test the use of hybrid
asynchronous learning for one learning module. Consequently, “seat time”
was reduced to two hours and students could learn the rest of materials by
watching online modules at their convenience. Students appear to have
enjoyed the videos based upon the YouTube views and positive feedback in
the comments section. However, due to the time investment required for video
making, only a few weeks of course material has been recorded. For every 20
minutes video, it takes 7-8 hours to record pen strokes in a way that is visually
attractive, write the script, record the audio, edit the video, revise, etc. To be
able to continue this effort and being able to create a good quality hybrid
classes I have applied for SPICE grant for the next academic year which if
accepted, it will provide me with the opportunity to invest enough time to
produce high quality hybrid classes that will improve students’ learning
outcomes.
• During the spring quarter 2014, I teach a new course, IME 499-Data analytics,
which requires programming skills. To teach the programming part, instead of
projecting my screen during the class, I used the method of screen sharing
where my computer screen was shared with every single student in the
classroom. This way, students were more engaged and able to implement the
steps by following my instruction on their computer, rather than watching
back and forth between the projector screen and their monitor. A survey will
be conducted to measure the students’ learning outcome by this method.

A new senior level technical elective course, ME 499, Entertainment Design
Engineering, was introduced together with Dr. Angela Shih. The course
focuses on extracting information from photos, videos, and other nontraditional sources, and also making reasonable assumptions where data is
nonexistent, for the purpose of conducting engineering analysis on vaguely
defined problems, problems with incomplete data, or speculative engineering
designs. The course culminates in a design experience were students design
and analyze a theme-park style ride.

Attended “ENGAGING THE DIGITAL STUDENT INITIATIVE SUMMER
INSTITUTE 2013” for transformation of two courses, ME224L Mechanics
Laboratory and ME214 Vector Statics in online or hybrid form. The large
annual enrollment of over 800 students for ME214 and additional 250
students for ME224L makes it a good candidate for being offered in hybrid
format. In an effort to reduce the number of failures and repeats for higher
retention and reduced time for graduation of our students the ME department
needs to substantially revised course contents and format for ME224L.
Currently, the students solve more problems under group discussion setting
and this modality has been known to have limited success. More and ready
access to various learning online objects will allow our students to learn the
difficult concepts in different ways at their own pace. I’ve developed various
hands-on experiments and computer software through various senior design
projects and implemented them in the conventional classroom settings. I
found substantial improvements in their exam results using those modalities,
and thus I worked to incorporate them in hybrid format.

During Fall 2013 and Spring 2014, I developed and taught a hybrid section of
ME 232 (Engineering Digital Computations). Students learn the material prior
to coming to class using video tutorials, freeing up in-class time for more
active learning exercises.
During Fall 2013, I developed and taught a hybrid section of ME 313L (Fluid
Mechanics Laboratory). Students learn the experimental procedures before
coming to class using video tutorials, allowing them to work more efficiently
in class. The videos also help remind students of experimental procedures
while writing lab reports after class.
During Winter and Spring 2014, I developed and taught Cal Poly Pomona’s
first massive open online course. Over 2000 people from around the world
enrolled in the 10-week course, which is taught entirely online. Participants
who pass the course receive a certificate of completion from Cal Poly
Pomona.
During 2013-2014, I experimented with recording my in-class lectures using
Camtasia Studio in many of my courses. The videos were posted online for
students to watch at their convenience.

In the summer of 2013 I took part in a workshop on “Engaging the Digital
Student Initiative” organized by the Faculty Center for Professional
Development and the eLearning team at Cal Poly Pomona. In this workshop,
several types of technologies were presented which were aimed at engaging
students in order to help them in their learning process. Since then, I have
used some of these technologies more often and have engaged students by
creating more activities in the classroom. Two of the classes that I
implemented these new teaching techniques were ME 319 Stress Analysis,
and ME 218 Strength of Materials I:
o In ME 319, I am creating the necessary documents so that the next
time that I offer this course, it would be offered as a hybrid class. The
software which will be used for this purpose is ConnectPlus and
LearnSmart. My plan is to have the lectures both in class as well as
have them available online. All of the quizzes and homework will be
through ConnectPlus and LearnSmart. I think students will benefit
from the tutorials and the interactive/adaptive features of this software.
o In ME 218, I used physical models in the classroom to demonstrate
some of the theories and principles in the mechanics of solid. My plan
is to work with the eLearning team in order to create software which
can help students visualize the concepts of stress and strain
transformations.

During this period, I taught the design sequence ARO481L-482L-483L,
Spacecraft Design, which incorporated information on spacecraft
telecommunications and command/data systems. These topics are
interdisciplinary in that they are normally taught as parts of the ECE
curriculum.

Courses taught (in reverse chronological order):

• CHE 303 Thermodynamics II Winter 2014 (2 sections)
• CHE 333L Transport Laboratory II Winter 2014
• CHE 302 Thermodynamics I Fall 2013 (3 sections)
For Course (1), Reactor Design, I used a computer software, “Polymath” that is a
powerful tool and specifically designed to solve problems in reactor sizing, reaction
rates, nonlinear equations, and solution of ordinary differential equations (for
example, it uses the accurate Runge-Kutta procedure to integrate the ODE’s).
Polymath was developed by the University of Michigan. The student practiced the
software in a class environment, and also used it to solve homework problems. This
knowledge, it is believed, will enhance the capabilities of students to deal with kinetic
problems not only in school and but in future working conditions.

College of Engineering Annual Report For all the lab courses (207L, 209L, 310L), I use sign-in and sign-out sheet to
improve student attendance and their lab work quality. Signing-out requires the
instructor approval. In this way lab attendance is mandatory and students must come
to the lab and perform lab work. The quality of the student lab work has been
improved because I do not allow them to leave the lab before they complete the
experiment correctly (e.g. their circuit is correctly built and their measurement is
satisfactory). Apart from regular labs where students build physical circuits and use
typical lab equipment (i.e. meters, oscilloscope) to take measurement, at least one
computer-based lab is included. In this lab student use software as a virtual lab to
perform experiment. The virtual lab has far more components and equipment (virtual)
that enable more advanced experiment compared to physical lab where experiment is
limited by equipment availability and capability.
For all the lecture courses (307, 209, 310), apart from exams and homework, I
incorporated a project assignment where students use Matlab and Matlab-based
toolboxes (simulators) to perform course-related design and analysis tasks. The
projects are designed to help students relate theory to practical applications,
understanding engineering design concepts, as well as improve their analytical and
report writing skills.
Anecdotal feedbacks received from students suggest that they like the virtual labs and
project assignments. Students say they think the virtual labs are more advantageous
compared to regular labs in terms of easier circuit building and more accurate
measurement. The project assignments do help them relate what they learn in class
with certain real-world engineering practice and applications.

The latest ABET Accreditation Self Studies were submitted in June 2011. The Dean’s
office led the efforts in coordinating the fall 2011 visit and prepared the necessary
documents during the visit. The ABET’s preliminary report was received in January
2012. Several after-action meetings were held and a comprehensive response was
prepared. An official 30-day response was sent to the ABET-EAC and ABET-TAC in
late February 2012. The preliminary report highlighted many of the excellent programs
and procedures in the College but it also, and predictably, signaled ABET’s dismay for
our lack of progress in right sizing the College by hiring more tenure-track faculty.
Page 19 of 126 College of Engineering Annual Report The Final reports were delivered on August 14, 2012. Most of the programs were given
the normal six-year accreditation but three programs require reaccreditation by
September 2014.
All Engineering and Engineering Technology undergraduate programs are currently
accredited by ABET.
C. Advising
Discuss status of both faculty and staff advising. Attach any supporting documents as

College
We are very happy to report that the College of Engineering was allocated funding from
the Student Success Fee for three additional advisors, and they will begin working in late
July and early August. They are joining Selyna Beverly in our Engineering Advising
Center. The Engineering Advisors will be available to advise all engineering
undergraduate students, with a special emphasis on first year students, four year pledge
students, and students who are subject to disqualification or disqualified.
The three new advisors are highly qualified and will form a great advising team for our
students. Here is some brief information about each of them.
Jay Ebue is an academic advisor at Argosy University, and he has previous experience at
University of La Verne. Jay received his bachelor’s degree from Cal Poly Pomona and
his master’s degree in Education from University of La Verne.
Victoria Hamdi is an academic advisor at Southern California University of Health
Sciences. Victoria received a bachelor’s degree from Loyola Marymount University and
a master’s degree in Counseling from CSU Long Beach.
Monica Kays is an academic advisor at UC Riverside. She advises students in
Anthropology and Sociology, with more than 1400 majors in these programs. Monica
earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal Poly Pomona.
Engineering Technology Department
Students are divided equally between faculty members in their respected majors. The
number of students per faculty is as follow:
•
•
•
•
Page 20 of 126 ETEC: 53 students (advisors: Professors: Herder, Norali, Qayyum, and
Thoen)
ET-General 119 students (advisors: Professors: Alvarez and Moussavi)
ETC: 77 students (advisors: Professors: Salem, Cho, and Vasconez)
Department put hold on all students’ registration for winter 2014 quarter in
order to review all students’ success and progress.
College of Engineering Annual Report Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department
For many years the IME Department has practiced mandatory advising for all students
every quarter. The ability to advise every quarter is an advantage that smaller
departments have. In spite of mandatory advising, it appeared to the faculty that most
students that really needed advising were also the ones that ignored the advice they were
getting. Students in a downward spiral were not changing their patterns and habits
resulting in probation and disqualification—in spite of good advising.
In Spring and Summer of 2008 the IME Department spent numerous department
meetings discussing advising-related problems and ideas. The result was development of
a comprehensive survey that was deployed in Fall 2008. The survey included
demographic questions plus questions related to:
1.
Grades and GPA
2.
Class load and scheduling issues
3.
Study habits and related issues
4.
Advising and related issues
5.
Learning environment and related issues
The survey response was very good (over 50%) and the faculty spent Winter and Spring
2009 analyzing the results. The major result was the decision to formulate a proactive
advising program—as opposed to the passive advising procedures adopted throughout
most of the university. Drs. Sadat and Rosenkrantz were empowered by the faculty to
develop the proactive plan for implementation in Fall 2008.
The IME Advising Program included a mandatory evening workshop for all students with
a Cal Poly Pomona GPA < 2.5. A PowerPoint presentation was developed based on the
survey results and analysis of five random transcripts. The workshop included key
concepts of time organization and study skills and each participant used a worksheet to
analyze their own transcripts and draw conclusions about faulty strategies they had been
using. Comments from participants about the workshop were positive. Key points from
the survey impressed on students included:
1.
Most students are taking one class too many for a variety of reasons intended to
help the student graduate sooner. The truth is that this extra class actually caused the
opposite effect allow with reducing their GPA. Emphasis was on being realistic and not
to obsess over graduation dates.
2.
Many students do not understand time management and/or are not organized and
consequently do not spend enough time learning.
3.
The importance of “Deep Learning” vs. “Surface Learning” is explained so that
students can analyze their own learning strategies and appreciate the importance of good
study skills.
In Winter and Spring of 2009 the GPAs of workshop participants were audited to see if
there was any improvement. While the statistical evidence was not overwhelming at such
Page 21 of 126 College of Engineering Annual Report an early time in the process, there was enough evidence to conclude the program was
helping.
The workshops were repeated in Fall 2009 for all students with GPAs below 2.5. Again
the student reception was positive.
In Spring and Summer 2010 the survey was repeated with a similar response rate. The
results shows some positive changes in attitudes such as fewer students reporting they
were taking too many courses. Questions were added to see if the IME study skills
presentation were effective. Fifty-three percent of respondents indicated: I have applied
some of the concepts with good results.
Comparative results are published on the web at:
http://www.csupomona.edu/~rosenkrantz/documents/AdvisingSurveySummary_0725201
0.pdf
The IME Department graduated 47 students in Spring 2010—one of the largest groups of
IME graduates in many years. We believe that the advising program was one of the many
changes made in recent years that partially contributed to the high number.
Mechanical Engineering Department
The department was rewarded for its diligence in advising when our “At Risk Advising
Program” coordinated by Dr. Peter Dashner was awarded the outstanding advising
program in the university. The department adopted this program a number of years ago in
order to identify at risk students and intervene appropriately to either let them come up
with a program that would maximize their chance of success, or, if their interests were in
other fields, allow them to change their majors. Through this program, the department has
succeeded to guide most of its advisees to a path to graduation. In addition to this, the
department also has the traditional advising procedures.

Currently, I advise four students #Santiago Glavis Correa# Sesar Salasar#
Gabriela Abanto# Alberto Rosa#, who are enrolled in a research course that I
offer. This research project is the continuation of my PhD dissertation and it is
also aligned with the content of the courses that I teach, IE 416 and 417, and
IME 499. We are aiming to submit the result of this research to INFORMS
OR undergraduate student competition as well as a journal for publication.
I am also advising a group of students for a research senior project. The
students’ names are #Mohd Arif Zaim Badrul Khisam# Fnu Johanes# and
Nabil Rasyad Abdul Jalil#. The research problem that they are tacking is
“When does it make sense to install energy storage and solar power near the
city, and when does it make sense to install new transmission lines from the
existing grid?”

1- Aquaponics:
o Aquaponics is a low demand and inexpensive system producing fish
and crops with 10% of the amount of water used in traditional farming.
In aquaponics’ symbiotic systems, nutrient wastes from fish are
utilized to fertilize plants while plants filter water contaminated with
fish manure, algae and decomposing fish feed. It is a multidisciplinary
research involving specialists from agriculture, science, engineering,
and business. A large group of students have designed, manufactured
and developed two aquaponics systems in Lyle Center of Regenerative
Page 52 of 126 College of Engineering Annual Report Studies. We are collecting data on the systems to prepare a scientific
publication on the systems performance.
2- Nanofluid Heat Pipe:
o Heat pipes are high capacity heat transfer devices that use evaporation,
insulation and condensation as means to remove heat. This passive
heat transfer device uses a wick as a porous media to pump the
condensed liquid working fluid to evaporation section. The two-phase
flow carries a substantial amount of heat along the pipe, turning it into
a superconductor. The use of nanofluid enhances heat transfer in the
heat pipe due to its improved thermo-physical properties, such as a
higher thermal conductivity. Nanofluids proved to be the innovative
approach to a variety of applications, such as electronics, medical
instruments, and heat exchangers. In this project we design and
manufacture a nanofluid heat pipe. In parallel, the mathematical
modeling of the heat pipe is performed by a graduate student. This will
be a combination of experimental and mathematical modeling to
evaluate the performance of the nanofluid heat pipe.
3- Project Gas Turbine
o This project purpose is generating electricity independent of the big
distribution grids.

In the academic year 2012-’13, I have supervised a senior project (Three
students-Vincent Nhieu, Andrew Selfridge and Derrek Valezquez) on “High
Peformance Processor Design. ”. The students were interested in exploring
computer architecture and parallel processing and implemented a simple quad
core processor to explore the challenges of hardware design, parallel software
programming, and hardware/software interface. I advised the students on how
to proceed and provided them with resources and guidance to make sure their
project was successful in exploring these advanced topics.

Section VII: Advancement
The DOD for each college should provide data on development achievements for the 201314 fiscal year. Attach supporting documents as appendices.
Since 2010, we have had a steady increase in our total annual fund, $750K (2010), $817K
(2011) and $850K (2012). Annual Fund Matching Gifts also rose from $22,000 in 2009/2010
to $57,000 this fiscal year. In addition to the rising Annual Fund figures, the College
benefitted from Mr. Martin J. Colombotto’s generosity. He graciously donated more than
$100,000 to name and refurbish one of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) labs
located in Building 9. We have revamped the advisory board and look forward to an
increased profile of the College that should provide increased funds to the College and its
Page 123 of 126 College of Engineering Annual Report programs. This year has also brought upon a generous donation from Gerald Maio in the way
of a $1 million dollar estate give to the College of Engineering.

Robot Rally
o
Robot Rally originally started in 2007 with the support of ME department
and the college of engineering has grown to become a hall mark of Cal
Poly Pomona. This unique event is now the largest in the nation. The
program is designed to inspire young students about engineering and
technology and train the teachers. This year Dr. Jawaharlal from
Mechanical Engineering Department, Dr. Victor Okyushen from Industrial
and Manufacturing Department, Dr. Winny Dong and Dr Tanya Faltens
from Chemical & Material Engineering Department accompanied by
engineering students enrolled in an “S” designated service learning class
(EGR 200S) visited seven local schools for 16 weeks and mentored
students in designing, building and programming robots. They also
provided training to classroom teachers so they can run the program
independently. This year three school teachers were already conducted the
program on their own with no or minimum support from cal Poly Pomona.
This innovative program has now fully developed curriculum mapped to
math and science standards 3rd grade to 8th grade.
o
This unique program culminated in the 5th Annual Robot Rally at
Cal Poly Pomona on May 5, 2011 at the Engineering Atrium. The event
attracted over 300 students, represented by 100 teams, who took part in a
Sumo Challenge, an impromptu obstacle course challenge and teamwork.
Popularity of this program has grown so much that there hundreds of
requests from local teachers/parents/school administrators to bring this
highly engaging and hands-on program to their organizations. The
effectiveness of this program can be highlighted in the exit survey taken
by the students. Over 70% of all the participants were excited about
engineering and think they may choose a career in engineering and
technology. This is over 10 times more than the national average. This
program has attracted now national and international attention. Two
schools in India have adopted this model. Chinese visitors have expressed
their interest in implementing similar program in China.
o
Pioneered by the Mechanical engineering department and fully
supported by the college of engineering, this program evolved and
developed collaboration with two other colleges: Dr. Bettina Casad, from
CLASS is developing assessment & evaluation for the Robot Rally and
Dr. Michael Page from College of Science is focusing on teacher training
in summer.

PLTW
o
The College of Engineering maintains a partnership with Project
Lead The Way (PLTW), a not-for-profit organization that provides
project-based, engineering and engineering technology curriculum to
Middle School, High School, and Community College students. The
primary objective of our program is to enhance student enrollment,
retention, and graduation success in science, technology, engineering and
math disciplines (STEM).
o
CPP is a Regional Center which is committed to offering annual
PLTW Core Training and outreach events. As a Project Lead The Way
(PLTW) Regional Center, CPP began facilitating Summer Training
Institute starting in June 2009.
o
2009 PLTW Summer Training: More than 60 teachers attended
training in four different engineering and technology subjects including
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED), Computer Integrated
Manufacturing (CIM), Principles of Engineering (POE), and Gateway to
Technology (GTT). These 60 teachers returned to their schools in the fall
to teach these subjects to approximately 100 students each, multiplying the
impact of the program.
o
2010 and 2011 PLTW Summer Training: Approximately 90
teachers attended training in each of these summers. Courses offered
include Introduction to Engineering Design (IED), Principles of
Engineering (POE), Digital Electronics (DE), Computer Integrated
Manufacturing (CIM), Engineering Design and Development (EDD), and
Gateway to Technology (GTT) Basic and Advanced.
o
PLTW National is working with Cal Poly Pomona to increase the
number of schools offering the PLTW curriculum in California.
o
In 2008, roughly 70 high schools were offering PLTW courses
(about 3% among high schools in CA)
o
By 2011, roughly 200 high schools are offering PLTW courses
(about 8% among high schools in CA)
Approximately 19% of first time freshmen enrolling at Cal Poly Pomona
College of Engineering for Fall 2011 are from a PLTW high school. This
is up from 8% in 2008. PLTW is supported by industry donations and
event revenue. Revenue has resulted in a net positive for the College of
Engineering.
