Senior Project Reflection

Due Date: The day after your block presentation by 8:00 A.M.


(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
Im extremely happy people said that my presentation was good, and some took a lot of interest in my topic.


(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?
    P  
b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
    P   

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
My activity and my timing I met the time requirement , people said my activity was really good and they liked how I tied it into my best answer
 (4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
I had Jon record me and I noticed I said um a lot and  I wish I didnt do that.
(5) Finding Value
I found alot of value in this project it was the best presentation and I think its over looked at some points
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

This project at first didn’t really mean much to me in the beginning, I actually started to hate it because I wasn’t able to get a simple code to work. But as time progressed, I learned from my mistakes. Once I got my first code to work and a light to turn on, it was enough to get me to change my mind on my project and I started to like it even more. Now looking back, I’m happy that I did this as my senior project because the outcome has opened the door to many future jobs and opportunities that will benefit me in the mere future.

Advisory Meeting #2

Content:
Just like you did for answer 1 and the objectives for Purther's textbook work for answer 2 post:

EQ

Answer #2 (Write in a complete sentence like a thesis statement)*

 The best way that an electrical engineer can improve incorporating more efficient power usage, better processing power, more advance and precise sensors (Lidar, Radar, Camera), better wireless communication methods, and better user interfaces. (In other words its functions) 

3 details to support the answer (a detail is a fact and an example)

•  Power deliverance is a key factor within the field of robotics because, lets face it, these things use up a lot of energy and in many cases can only stay powered up for about 2-3 hours. In robotics it takes a lot of energy to turn servos or motors, it requires extreme amounts of energy to move. So in conclusion lots of power is needed.
• A robot is only as good as the functions it can preform, so with that being said its important to to have your robot have the accessories it needs to carry out its functions, example if you want to have your robot pick things up you make a mechanism to do so.
• Communication is essential to a robot, you always want to be able to communicate with the robot, let alone robots communicating with each other. the reason this is important is due to the fact that you don't want miscommunication, its dangerous to the people around you let alone the robot itself.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

Content:

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I finally was able to talk about what mentor ship consists of, I didn't get the chance to do that in the first presentation and I'm really happy I got to do that.
2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

I feel I did my best to do my presentation, I admit I had too much info to present on and it went on for too long, I honestly don't try to do that but this is my passion and I love what I'm doing, in fact I even piss of my girlfriend cause I talk about this topic too much. I also didn't do well on my activity but i will have to improve it when it comes time for the Final Presentation.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
Everything worked for me up to the time, I rambled on too much and I feel I need to stop doing that, let alone keep the answer more to the point.
4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
The Activity I really didn't have alot of time to explain it and I wish I got to explain it a bit more as it would have helped alot more if I did that
5. Finding Value
What do you think your answer #2 is going to be? 
I haven't really thought of it but I am thinking one of the possible 2
1 being uses of robots 
2 being algorithms etc.
