First Week back, and it's a nice sunny saturday.
JP has gone well so far, I am the group lead this term, where we are going to put our project together.
The purpose of our device is to simulate an arm's movement by placing sensors along a
ong sleeve and glove. We will also create a virtual arm that will recreate the same motions and gestures.
Sensors covering the shoulder, elbow and wrist will be attached to a long sleeve shirt and a glove,
which will also be fitted with sensors on each finger. The data will be collected by the microcontroller
and from there it will be sent wirelessly to the computer. The computer will handle the processing of the
actual movement information based on the sensor data it received. The virtual arm will be simulated
in Unreal Engine using C++.
With 4 people working on it, I am sure we can get it done in the 9 weeks we have.
If you want to make a donation, you can do it here: https://www.gofundme.com/cades-college-tuition
This money will be used exclusively in helping me purchase food and school supplies during each term.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring Update
Hey all!
Sorry about the sporadic posts, though this one may be a bit long. My time has been entirely filled with labs and homework, on top of the first round of midterms which just passed/is passing this week.
I'm having a blast, and my time management skill have improved greatly (though its easy to manage your time when there isn't any left to slack off...).
Anyway, to get to the point of this post, I just received an email from the folks at MECOP. I have been accepted to their preliminary interviews! This is a behavioral interview with engineers/managers from the companies who participate, acting as representatives of MECOP. It is on the 16/17th of May at the OSU campus in Corvallis. As there are other students going, im going to try and hitch a ride, otherwise I need to get a bus/train ticket (that might be a good idea anyway, as i can work on hw on the train). I will know by the first week of June if I was accepted into the program.
For those who want a refresher or don't know about MECOP, the gist of it is they are a organization that puts students at participating colleges in the STEM fields in touch with businesses around the NW US (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California), to get internships with those companies. They provide a buffer layer between the company and the intern for things like payment, and what work the student is involved in when they are on internship.
If I get into the program it is a guaranteed 2 six-month internships at Two different companies, (they -try- for one large place and one small place).
This does effect my graduation date if you were wondering, the internships will take place, the summer of next year (2018) going through my spring term, and the summer of 2019 going through that spring term. This will push my graduation date out a year, I'm not really concerned about it because the year of in industry experience seem like a fantastic trade.
Here is the link to the MECOP site where you can read more, instead of having to google MECOP :)
