Abstract/Summary

This paper outlines the development of the first CAED Hasslein Student Competition at Cal Poly, SLO. The College of Architecture and Environmental Design at Cal Poly, SLO has not yet been successful in creating a platform to engage students of all five majors to collaborate in an educational atmosphere. This project aims to challenge students to work in teams made up of all five disciplines in a Request for Proposal-style competition. This paper focuses on how the idea of this competition came to be and the steps that were taken to successfully write the competition problem statement. These steps included data collection, writing the problem statement, and the development of the competition scoring rubric. Data collection was done in the form of a student survey and personal interviews with CAED administrators and industry supporters. The information obtained assisted the development of the competition by including different perspectives and using them to adhere to the different skillset across the CAED. Furthermore, this paper discusses the processes moving forward with this project which would involve hosting the first CAED Hasslein Student Competition. This competition is meant to give students an opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration before entering the construction industry post-higher education.
