REPORT
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo 93407
P~oject Stat~As Repod
Second in a Sel"ies
What: The World Wide Web as classroom tool
Where: Architecture, Psychology, Liberal Arts
Cal Poly Plan funding:
• Architectural design and the Web: $111,129
• Web sites for psychology classes: $49,970
• Helping other professors use the Web: $98,000
Other funding:
• Architecture: $60,000 to $80,000 in in-kind contributions from Silicon
Graphics and Arris Software Co.
• Psych: support from the Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.
• Liberal Arts: $34,098 from college funds
Status:
• Tom Fowler in architecture is improving - with 3-D, for one thing - a Web
site where students can post a project for critique by professional architects
and students around the world. Integrating design education and the Web in
that and a variety of other ways is giving students experience "in a world be
yond the walls of the classroom" and preparing them for 21st century practice.
• Chuck Slem and Ned Schultz in psychology and human development have
set up an "interactive electronic syllabus"- actually much more than that
that gives students in Psych 202 and 310 24-hour access to lecture notes, text
synopses, and a multitude of reference and other material to stimulate class in
volvement and increase students' understanding.
• All this year, English professor Peggy Lant is guiding 16 of her liberal arts
colleagues through the intricacies of setting up Web sites that connect students
directly to the vast resources of the Web-- asLant has done in her English 341
course, taught partially on the Web last quarter, fully this quarter. The "teacher
students" have already begun using their own Web sites, including an online
writing lab by David Kann that's available to all students looking for help.
Quotes:
• "It's like finding a treasure, a horde of possibilities. And you can just do
anything you want with them." Peggy Lant
• "This is really exciting. People need to get on there (the Web) and look at
it." Bonnie Krupp, Institutional Studies

Proposals sought for
cal Poly Plan projects
All faculty and staff are urged to
consider making a response to the .
Request for Proposals (RFP) for
projects to be funded by the Cal Poly
Plan's Campus Academic Fee.
This year 25 initiatives were fully
or partially supported by about $1 .8
million generated by the Cal Poly
Plan. The plan's Steering Committee
believes the same amount will again
be available for new and continuing
projects identified in the RFP process.
Additional money from the Cam
pus Academic Fee has been budgeted
for 16 tenure-track faculty members
who begin teaching in September.
The RFP is available in college of
fices, the Kennedy Library, and the
Associated Students' executive of
fices. It also can be obtained from
the Provost's office, ext. 2186, or re
quested through email at polyplan
@oboe.
Applicants are strongly encour
aged to submit a two-page "statement
of intent" by Feb. 28 with the com
pleted proposal due April 30.
Asserting that "all proposals must
be specific as to how they are de
signed to enhance student knowledge
and skills," the Steering Committee
set three funding categories:
• Advanced instructional technol
ogy and equipment used for instruc
tion that students "need to be pre
pared for life and work in the 21st
century."
• Instructional programs that "fo
cus on enabling students to succeed
academically and advance toward
their degree goals."
• Advising and career services
with the same focus .
The Steering Committee wants to
ensure consideration of a range of
projects to include universitywide
and interdisciplinary projects that will
be reviewed by a university panel and

'Watercolor Six' exhibit
adds another artist
Another artist has been added to
the roster of those exhibiting water
colors in the University Gallery from
Tuesday, Feb. 8, through Sunday,
March 16.
Nita Engle, one of America's lead
ing watercolor artists, is in constant
demand as a national and interna
tional workshop teacher. Her work
has appeared in many art books and
national publications, and she was re
cently selected "Artist of the Year" by
American Artist Magazine. To cel
ebrate the event, the magazine pub
lished and released a limited edition
print of one of her paintings.
The gallery is open every day from
11 am to 4 pm plus Wednesday eve
nings from 7 to 9.
Emmy winner has hand
in 'Into the Woods'
An emmy-award winning make-up
artist and Cal Poly alum is helping
transform members of the cast in the
Cal Poly production of "Into the
Woods," scheduled to run Thursday
through Saturday Feb. 20-22 and Feb.
27-March 1 in the Theatre.
Scott Wheeler was part of a crew
of make-up artists that won Emmy
awards in 1995 for their work on
"Deep Space Nine." He won his sec
ond Emmy in 1996 as part of a four
some that worked on the series "Star
Trek Voyager."
An architecture alumnus who de
signed the makeup for several Cal
Poly productions in the early '80s, he
is creating the makeup for two of the
characters in "Into the Woods" - the
wolf in Little Red Riding Hood and
Rapunzel's witch.
Unlike masks that can't move or
exhibit facial expressions, Wheeler's
creations are made specifically to al
low facial movement. More like
sculpture than masks, the three-dimen
sional makeup requires a number of
steps to achieve the desired result.
Wheeler's most recent makeover
was the Borg Queen in the recently
released sci-fi film "Star Trek: First
Page2
Contact," which has earned him an
Academy Award nomination.
"Into the Woods" was written by
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine.
It uses popular fairy tales to celebrate
the importance of self-knowledge be
cause, according to director Mike
Malkin, "fairy tales are a subliminal
way for us to remind ourselves that
we are inherently both good and bad."
The play is a production of the
Theatre and Dance Department and
Music Department.
Tickets are $ LO for the public and
$7 for students. They can be bought at
the Performing Arts Center Ticket Of
fice from 10 am to 6 pm weekdays and
from 10 am to 4 pm Saturdays. To or
der by phone, dial ARTS (ext. 2787).
Greek mythology f~gures
in next Galerie exhibit
Stone sculptures depicting several
well-known figures from Greek my
thology will be on exhibit in the UU
Galerie from Saturday, Feb. 8,
through Friday, March 14.
Sculptor Wachtang Botso Korisheli's
exhibit is titled "Essence of Life."
For the show, he has chosen such
characters as Zeus, Prometheus,
Dionysius and Sisyphus because he
believes "these images have largely
shaped our Western mentality while
providing us with rich artistic imagery
and metaphors."
Korisheli sculpts in granite, lime
stone, Virginia blackstone, sandstone
and marble. The life-size and larger
than-life pieces in the show are de
scribed by the artist as symbolic.
Korisheli is head of the Fine Arts
Department at Mission College Prep
School in San Luis Obispo, where he
teaches art and sculpture.
An artist's reception is planned
from 1 to 3 pm Sunday, Feb. 9.
The Galerie is open Tuesday and
Wednesday from 10 am to 5 pm;
Thursday, 10 am to 8 pm; Friday, 10
am to 4 pm; and Saturday and Sun
day, noon to 4 pm.
For more information, call Galerie
curator Jeanne LaBarbera at ext. 1182.
No cause for alarm
A great deal of time is being spent
addressing campus safety measures
during utilidor construction.
Facilities Planning wants to assure
the campus community that the San
Luis Obispo Fire Department, Cali
fornia Department of Forestry, and
the San Luis Obispo Ambulance Ser
vice are aware of all changes that could
affect emergency operations on campus.
Perimeter Road Sidewalk
Pilot trenching, which refers to
digging a small trench before the in
evitable larger trench, has begun all
along the outside edge of the Perim
eter Road sidewalk Parts of the side
walk are closed to pedestrians and
should be avoided whenever possible.
The inside sidewalk that passes by
Fisher Science, the Administration
Building, and University Union, etc.,
will remain open.
All major intersections will have
pedestrian crossings as well as access
for the disabled.
As the project continues, roads will
be closed, parking lots will be diffi
cult to get to, access to buildings will
be limited, and often without much
notification. Employees are urged to
be patient and careful.
Utilidor is the wicked ditch
of the West.
Help stop overcrowding
on bus route 5
Commuter Services asks employ
ees and students who take bus route 4
to please catch the bus at Mustang
Stadium.
Many commuters are catching city
bus route 5 in front of the UU and
riding just until Mustang Stadium,
where they change to a route 4 bus.
Because the buses are so crowded,
people who need to take the route 5
bus all the way home are unable to
catch that bus at the stop in front of
the UU.

leek Foundation donates S500,000
for College of Engineering laboratories
The College of Engineering has re
ceived a $500,000 grant from the
W.M. Keck Foundation that will al
low the college to complete construc
tion of the Advanced Technology
Laboratories.
Scheduled to open in fall 1998, the
facility will contain six laboratories,
the central one to be named the W.M.
Keck Foundation Engineering Educa
tion Research and Development
Laboratory.
The new facility will serve as an
instructional research and develop
ment model for domestic and interna
tional universities.
Funded by a matching grant from
the National Science Foundation, the
. Advanced Technology Laboratories
building will contain five facilities
dedicated to such fields as transporta
tion, aerospace, earthquake and geo
technical engineering, as well as
bioengineering and mechatronics, an
emerging field that integrates me
chanical and electronics systems with
artificial intelligence.
The central Keck Lab will transfer
these technical developments to class
rooms and the community, providing
a link between the academic and in
dustrial worlds.
The Keck Lab also will create a
student-centered learning environ
ment based on an exploration of glo
bal educational resources rather than
the constraints of an isolated classroom.
"We envision the Keck Lab as a
focal point of multimedia learning for
engineering students," said Peter Y.
Lee, dean of the College of Engineer
ing.
Total construction cost for the fa
cility is $4 million, and private gifts
from industrial partners have been
contributed by St. Jude Pacesetter,
Hewlett-Packard, Tandem, IBM, Sun
Microsystems, Northrop Grumman,
the Foundation of the Litton Indus
tries, and the campus Applied Re
search and Development Group.
Construction is expected to begin in
mid-1997.
Raul cano earns national distinguished teaching award
Microbiology professor Raul Cano,
will receive the American Academy
of Microbiology's 1997 Carski Foun
dation Distinguished Teaching Award.
Cano will be honored at the
academy's annual meeting in Miami
Beach in May.
The award recognizes one indi
vidual nationally for distinguished
teaching of microbiology to under
graduates and for encouraging them in
future achievements.
Cano has excelled in undergraduate
teaching and made special contribu
tions in the area of undergraduate re
search.
He teaches introductory microbiol
ogy courses, as well as courses in
medical microbiology and a graduate
course in biology.
As director of the university's En
vironmental Biotechnology Institute,
Cano has brought together a research
team of scientists, including approxi
mately five graduate students and al
most 30 undergraduates.
Known as a leader in the study of
ancient bacteria and a specialist in
paleobiology and molecular evolu
tion, Cano was the first to extract vi
able dinosaur-age DNA from insects
preserved in amber, a major step to
ward unlocking the secrets of evolu
tion and opening new genetic
possibilities, especially in agriculture.
Worldwide recognition came for
his discovery in 1995 that bacteria
millions of years old can be revived
and reproduced.
A member of the Biological Sci
ences Department faculty since 1974,
Cano was the Cal Poly Outstanding
Professor in 1994 and won the CSU
Biotechnology Award in 1993.

When "Women/Beyond Borders"
began, the participating artists each
received an identical miniature
wooden box, historically a symbolic
of a gift, vessel, shrine, treasure, or
hope. The artists transformed the
boxes in myriad ways, using sculp
ture, painting and mixed media.
The project started with a small
number of artists coming together to
support one another, and has grown to
include approximately 200 women
artists.
In slightly more than four years,
the College of Business Computer

Architedure professor
wins national award
Architecture professor Thomas
Fowler IV is one of three teachers na
tionwide to be singled out for excel
lence in teaching by a national
association.
Fowler will receive a 1997 New
Faculty Teaching Award from the As
sociation of Collegiate Schools of Ar
chitecture and the American Institute
of Architecture Students at the
ACSA's annual meeting in March.
The award recognizes tenure-track
faculty members in their first five
years of teaching at an ACSA-mem
ber school.
Fowler, who came to Cal Poly in
1995, has combined research and tech
nology in teaching undergraduates.
Using the latest technology, he has
developed ways to use the World Wide
Web as a design and teaching tool.
By putting students' design work
on the Web - a project known as the
"Collaborative Interactive Design"
project- Fowler has established a
mechanism that allows students to get
feedback from outside the university.
He received funding from the Cal
Poly Plan to support his work on the
Collaborative Interactive Design Sys
tem project, which enabled him to
start a laboratory and continue re
search.
Fowler teaches a course, Web as
Design Tool, in which he and six stu
dents meet through a computer sys
tem that allows all of them to see each
other via cameras and computer
screens. All participants are in sepa
rate rooms on campus and are
"beamed" together on each others'
screens.

What: The World Wide Web as classroom tool
Where: Architecture, Psychology, Liberal Arts
Cal Poly Plan funding:
• Architectural design and the Web: $111,129
• Web sites for psychology classes: $49,970
• Helping other professors use the Web: $98,000
Other funding:
• Architecture: $60,000 to $80,000 in in-kind contributions from Silicon
Graphics and Arris Software Co.
• Psych: support from the Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.
• Liberal Arts: $34,098 from college funds
Status:
• Tom Fowler in architecture is improving - with 3-D, for one thing - a Web
site where students can post a project for critique by professional architects
and students around the world. Integrating design education and the Web in
that and a variety of other ways is giving students experience "in a world be
yond the walls of the classroom" and preparing them for 21st century practice.
• Chuck Slem and Ned Schultz in psychology and human development have
set up an "interactive electronic syllabus"- actually much more than that
that gives students in Psych 202 and 310 24-hour access to lecture notes, text
synopses, and a multitude of reference and other material to stimulate class in
volvement and increase students' understanding.
• All this year, English professor Peggy Lant is guiding 16 of her liberal arts
colleagues through the intricacies of setting up Web sites that connect students
directly to the vast resources of the Web-- asLant has done in her English 341
course, taught partially on the Web last quarter, fully this quarter. The "teacher
students" have already begun using their own Web sites, including an online
writing lab by David Kann that's available to all students looking for help.

Proposals sought for
cal Poly Plan projects
All faculty and staff are urged to
consider making a response to the .
Request for Proposals (RFP) for
projects to be funded by the Cal Poly
Plan's Campus Academic Fee.
This year 25 initiatives were fully
or partially supported by about $1 .8
million generated by the Cal Poly
Plan. The plan's Steering Committee
believes the same amount will again
be available for new and continuing
projects identified in the RFP process.
Additional money from the Cam
pus Academic Fee has been budgeted
for 16 tenure-track faculty members
who begin teaching in September.
The RFP is available in college of
fices, the Kennedy Library, and the
Associated Students' executive of
fices. It also can be obtained from
the Provost's office, ext. 2186, or re
quested through email at polyplan
@oboe.
Applicants are strongly encour
aged to submit a two-page "statement
of intent" by Feb. 28 with the com
pleted proposal due April 30.
Asserting that "all proposals must
be specific as to how they are de
signed to enhance student knowledge
and skills," the Steering Committee
set three funding categories:
• Advanced instructional technol
ogy and equipment used for instruc
tion that students "need to be pre
pared for life and work in the 21st
century."
• Instructional programs that "fo
cus on enabling students to succeed
academically and advance toward
their degree goals."
• Advising and career services
with the same focus .
The Steering Committee wants to
ensure consideration of a range of
projects to include universitywide
and interdisciplinary projects that will
be reviewed by a university panel and

'Watercolor Six' exhibit
adds another artist
Another artist has been added to
the roster of those exhibiting water
colors in the University Gallery from
Tuesday, Feb. 8, through Sunday,
March 16.
Nita Engle, one of America's lead
ing watercolor artists, is in constant
demand as a national and interna
tional workshop teacher. Her work
has appeared in many art books and
national publications, and she was re
cently selected "Artist of the Year" by
American Artist Magazine. To cel

print of one of her paintings.
The gallery is open every day from

Emmy winner has hand
in 'Into the Woods'
An emmy-award winning make-up
artist and Cal Poly alum is helping
transform members of the cast in the
Cal Poly production of "Into the
Woods," scheduled to run Thursday
through Saturday Feb. 20-22 and Feb.
27-March 1 in the Theatre.
Scott Wheeler was part of a crew
of make-up artists that won Emmy
awards in 1995 for their work on
"Deep Space Nine." He won his sec
ond Emmy in 1996 as part of a four
some that worked on the series "Star
Trek Voyager."
An architecture alumnus who de
signed the makeup for several Cal
Poly productions in the early '80s, he
is creating the makeup for two of the
characters in "Into the Woods" - the
wolf in Little Red Riding Hood and
Rapunzel's witch.
Unlike masks that can't move or
exhibit facial expressions, Wheeler's
creations are made specifically to al
low facial movement. More like
sculpture than masks, the three-dimen
sional makeup requires a number of
steps to achieve the desired result.
Wheeler's most recent makeover
was the Borg Queen in the recently
released sci-fi film "Star Trek: First
Page2
Contact," which has earned him an
Academy Award nomination.
"Into the Woods" was written by
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine.
It uses popular fairy tales to celebrate
the importance of self-knowledge be
cause, according to director Mike
Malkin, "fairy tales are a subliminal
way for us to remind ourselves that
we are inherently both good and bad."
The play is a production of the
Theatre and Dance Department and
Music Department.
Tickets are $ LO for the public and
$7 for students. They can be bought at
the Performing Arts Center Ticket Of
fice from 10 am to 6 pm weekdays and
from 10 am to 4 pm Saturdays. To or

Greek mythology f~gures
in next Galerie exhibit
Stone sculptures depicting several
well-known figures from Greek my
thology will be on exhibit in the UU
Galerie from Saturday, Feb. 8,
through Friday, March 14.
Sculptor Wachtang Botso Korisheli's
exhibit is titled "Essence of Life."
For the show, he has chosen such
characters as Zeus, Prometheus,
Dionysius and Sisyphus because he
believes "these images have largely
shaped our Western mentality while
providing us with rich artistic imagery
and metaphors."
Korisheli sculpts in granite, lime
stone, Virginia blackstone, sandstone
and marble. The life-size and larger
than-life pieces in the show are de
scribed by the artist as symbolic.
Korisheli is head of the Fine Arts
Department at Mission College Prep
School in San Luis Obispo, where he
teaches art and sculpture.
An artist's reception is planned
from 1 to 3 pm Sunday, Feb. 9.
The Galerie is open Tuesday and

for College of Engineering laboratories
The College of Engineering has re
ceived a $500,000 grant from the
W.M. Keck Foundation that will al
low the college to complete construc
tion of the Advanced Technology
Laboratories.
Scheduled to open in fall 1998, the
facility will contain six laboratories,
the central one to be named the W.M.
Keck Foundation Engineering Educa
tion Research and Development
Laboratory.
The new facility will serve as an
instructional research and develop
ment model for domestic and interna
tional universities.
Funded by a matching grant from
the National Science Foundation, the
. Advanced Technology Laboratories
building will contain five facilities
dedicated to such fields as transporta
tion, aerospace, earthquake and geo
technical engineering, as well as
bioengineering and mechatronics, an
emerging field that integrates me
chanical and electronics systems with
artificial intelligence.
The central Keck Lab will transfer
these technical developments to class
rooms and the community, providing
a link between the academic and in
dustrial worlds.
The Keck Lab also will create a
student-centered learning environ
ment based on an exploration of glo
bal educational resources rather than
the constraints of an isolated classroom.
"We envision the Keck Lab as a
focal point of multimedia learning for
engineering students," said Peter Y.
Lee, dean of the College of Engineer
ing.
Total construction cost for the fa
cility is $4 million, and private gifts
from industrial partners have been
contributed by St. Jude Pacesetter,
Hewlett-Packard, Tandem, IBM, Sun
Microsystems, Northrop Grumman,
the Foundation of the Litton Indus
tries, and the campus Applied Re

Construction is expected to begin in
mid-1997.
Raul cano earns national distinguished teaching award
Microbiology professor Raul Cano,
will receive the American Academy
of Microbiology's 1997 Carski Foun
dation Distinguished Teaching Award.
Cano will be honored at the
academy's annual meeting in Miami
Beach in May.
The award recognizes one indi
vidual nationally for distinguished
teaching of microbiology to under
graduates and for encouraging them in
future achievements.
Cano has excelled in undergraduate
teaching and made special contribu
tions in the area of undergraduate re
search.
He teaches introductory microbiol
ogy courses, as well as courses in
medical microbiology and a graduate
course in biology.
As director of the university's En
vironmental Biotechnology Institute,
Cano has brought together a research
team of scientists, including approxi
mately five graduate students and al
most 30 undergraduates.
Known as a leader in the study of
ancient bacteria and a specialist in
paleobiology and molecular evolu
tion, Cano was the first to extract vi
able dinosaur-age DNA from insects
preserved in amber, a major step to
ward unlocking the secrets of evolu
tion and opening new genetic
possibilities, especially in agriculture.
Worldwide recognition came for
his discovery in 1995 that bacteria
millions of years old can be revived
and reproduced.
A member of the Biological Sci
ences Department faculty since 1974,
Cano was the Cal Poly Outstanding
Professor in 1994 and won the CSU
Biotechnology Award in 1993.

Architedure professor
wins national award
Architecture professor Thomas
Fowler IV is one of three teachers na
tionwide to be singled out for excel
lence in teaching by a national
association.
Fowler will receive a 1997 New
Faculty Teaching Award from the As
sociation of Collegiate Schools of Ar
chitecture and the American Institute
of Architecture Students at the
ACSA's annual meeting in March.
The award recognizes tenure-track
faculty members in their first five
years of teaching at an ACSA-mem
ber school.
Fowler, who came to Cal Poly in
1995, has combined research and tech
nology in teaching undergraduates.
Using the latest technology, he has
developed ways to use the World Wide
Web as a design and teaching tool.
By putting students' design work
on the Web - a project known as the
"Collaborative Interactive Design"
project- Fowler has established a
mechanism that allows students to get
feedback from outside the university.
He received funding from the Cal
Poly Plan to support his work on the
Collaborative Interactive Design Sys
tem project, which enabled him to
start a laboratory and continue re
search.
Fowler teaches a course, Web as
Design Tool, in which he and six stu
dents meet through a computer sys
tem that allows all of them to see each
other via cameras and computer
screens. All participants are in sepa
rate rooms on campus and are
"beamed" together on each others'
screens.
