May 3, 2019
Thirty Five Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Engineering (CPE) Alumni gathered at the BowlMor Bowling facility in Cupertino, CA on Thursday March 7 to celebrate their Cal Poly Heritage.
The group had a high score of 144 and a low score of 25 and a fun time was had by all. Special trophies were given out for folks who scored 117 (Cal Poly's age in years) and for 108 (The faculty member who lived the longest, Harry Wolf). The group included students who graduated in Dec. 2018 to folks who graduated in the 1960s. The Alumni party got updates on projects at Cal Poly and traded stories about what is happening in their careers. Professor Derickson also challenged the group to come back and give a friday EE seminar and to stay involved with the department and its students.

The team members (pictured from left to right) included Yiupang Chan (Computer Science), Sonia Mannan (Computer Engineering), Huy Duong (Computer Engineering), Larry Hu (Software Engineering), Nicholas Serres (Electrical Engineering), Jake Loveland (Computer Engineering), and team advisor Joseph Callenes-Sloan (assistant professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering).
The competition prompted Cal State University students to develop a novel approach to an important urban problem over the span of three months. As part of the challenge, students were able to take advantage of the newly implemented 3,200 streetlight nodes in the City of San Diego for their data collection. With the information at hand, it was up to the students to improve San Diego’s Climate Action Plan with innovative city solutions. It was their goal to develop an application that could conquer the urban challenges of climate change, traffic optimization, mobility and more. To make it to the top, the application had to be assessed by a panel of judges, which consisted of chief technology and data officers from GE Digital, the City of San Diego and the Port of San Diego.
Cal Poly stduents created “Treety: a pact between the people, the city, and the Earth,” a data-driven system for educating San Diego residents and policymakers about the environmental and socio-economic benefits of trees in urban settings. The application aggregated data from the city sensors to accurately quantify the benefits of planting trees at given locations. The platform modeled tree benefits by taking historical data from pedestrian, environmental and traffic sensors to predict potential impacts of having trees at the locations, such as carbon reduction, average pedestrian and vehicular traffic and property values.
The Cal Poly team included Computer Engineering students Huy Duong, Jake Loveland, Sonia Mannan; Electrical Engineering student Nicholas Serres; Software Engineering student Larry Hu; Computer Science student Yiupang Chan and Professor Joseph Callenes-Sloan.
The Cal Poly team will receive an $8,000 scholarship for placing first in the challenge.
