Congrats K

So the past two semesters have been stressful for K.  They were his last ones before he graduates, and so he had some huge projects due this past week. The first one is what's called his Senior Design Project.  Over two semesters, him and a partner had to design and build some product.  They started off with really big hopes and plans, but time and issues popped up, so they simplified it.  Many hours of programming and working with stuff, he finally got it done.  This last week was the Senior Design Competition.  All the graduating seniors in mechanical, electrical and computer engineering have to do the project and then compete at the end of the semester.  There were some interesting projects.  K's was a camera that would compress and send pictures/video wirelessly to a computer.  Other ones were: A bike pedal that if unlocked would bend in half so it couldn't be used.  A crockpot meant specifically for cooking various kinds of chocolate.  A computer program to track the sun.  Lots of things if you get the picture.  Well out of all of these, K and his partner got GRAND PRIZE! They sweeped everyone!  I am so excited for him cause he put so much time and effort into it.


Second thing...along with this project K has been working on a Thesis for his Honor's degree.  This project was him programming a program that could somewhat design an airfoil.  I just know it was very hard, many math equations, and lots of stuff I don't know.  He finished it though, but now had to defend it in front of a committee.  He was very nervous to present, and if he would pass.  Thankfully, he did.  So now his semester is basically over.  He says all the papers and tests he has next week seem like nothing.


I just want to say great job K!
