Palais Senior Design Prize!

Still a bit surprised and feeling very honored!

My team’s senior design project won the Palais Senior Design Prize this semester!

Our project was selected based on originality and creativity of the students’ contributions, level of technical skill and teamwork, Attention to non-technical aspects of the design, professionalism in presentation, addressing different audience experience levels, and quality of presentation materials and demonstration!

It’s my understanding that this is the first time an online team has won this prize since inception back in 1998!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!

A huge thanks to our mentor Dr. Pavan Turaga for all his help and support and my team members Hadassah Fromowitz, Olivia Ruthven, Makalya Donaldson and Timothy Sparks!

We’ll each receive $100 and our name will go on a plaque on campus! Pretty cool!

ASU Spring Semester 2019 Week 15

Senior Demo is today! I’ve been manning a zoom conference call this morning answering some questions from folks who have stopped by our booth. So far feedback on our project and demo video have been positive! It is so weird to be at this point! I didn’t think demo day was ever going to get here! Here is a link to our demo video in case you’re curious to watch. In case you want to check out all of the Senior Design Demo Day festivities here is a link from ASU.

On Wednesday I had my EEE 425 final. I had been bugged by one problem and knew something was off, but I couldn’t figure it out. I actually woke up around 4am and figured out what I did from my sleep. Oh well, hopefully I did okay on the rest of the problems. Wasn’t much to the exam, 3 questions and I had plenty of time.

Not much to report in EEE 459. I must confess that I’ve ignored that class this week with EEE 425 and EEE 489. I have one more final to go on 5/2 in there and that will wrap up my studies here at ASU!

ASU Spring Semester 2019 Week 14

More EEE 425 fun. Apparently there was a module 7.5 so after thinking I was done with the lectures, turns out there was another set to go through. Not sure how that got missed from the beginning, but whatever. Still struggling with the lab and sorry to say, really burned out this week.

Next week will be very busy with the final for EEE 425 on Wednesday. Well technically it opens Tuesday at 5pm and we have until Wednesday at 10pm. I’ll be glad when this class is done and hoping for a B at this point.

EEE 459’s last homework assignment is due Sunday and I was able to get that completed. This week’s lectures have been looking at Wireless Links and is the last set of new material. The final for this class is not until 5/2 so I’m focusing more on the more pressing matters.

EEE 489 next week is going to be extremely business. Poster and Final Report are due Monday, a quiz by Wednesday, a demo day video due by Friday (with us needing to be available intermittently on Friday to answer questions) and then our final video progress report due on Monday to wrap up EEE 489.

So close to being done!
