One of the greatest aspects of this class is that we are getting a taste of the professional world of engineering. We use a multitude of programs and services that help us understand the great world of engineering in our futures. For instance, the hardware team and many others from the class use the SolidWorks CAD program in order to design new objects. With these 3D models, we then are able to print the models with our 3D printer. The experience with this program is so vital to our futures in engineering because countless companies need engineers with CAD experience.
Also, we use MPLAB X IDE to program the NESI board. This developer's environment program allows us to write and manipulate code which will be send to the circuit board. Thanks to this program, the software team has attained experience working in C. Additionally, the software team has used video conferences in order to collaborate with engineers at Texas A&M.
The science team has utilized precise chemistry equipment to conduct their experiments. Their work with such technical tools will aid them in the future when they need perform accurate labs.
Moreover, the outreach team has used professional skills and planning to schedule meetings at local middle schools. Communication is key for any job, and the more skills with cooperation will help everyone in their future.
Overall, this class not only has us learn new aspects of life and challenge our minds, it also provides us with a taste of the real world of engineering. We are gaining experience with the actual programs that engineers use and are preparing for our careers.
