Abstract/Summary
The purpose of this paper is to outline and explain the origin, process and outcome of my goal to create a website where Construction Management students have the capability to review their internships. The aim was to continue to progress Cal Poly alumna Erica Zetterquist’s senior project and her idea to create an online platform similar to “PolyRatings”, a website where Cal Poly students are able to review and rate their professors. This website is essentially the same thing as “Polyratings”, but for internships instead of professors, hoping to help students with their job search process. Based off a series of questions including company name, personal interest of daily tasks, length and salary of internship, and overall satisfaction of experience, I created a scoring system that rates each company out of 100 points. This paper goes in depth about how the project came about, the trials and tribulations of the process and how I was able to compile the questions and develop a ratings system using “Qualtrics”, an advanced online survey software. I have included the data collected as well as my final deliverable.
