802.11 Presentation

I gave a presentation on 802.11 WEP & 802.11i standards in class Thursday. Here is the presentation. Click to advance the slides.

Flight Simulator

My project for the semester in my CSE 541 Project Planning and Management course:

Your assignment is to plan and manage the development of software for a reconfigurable cockpit simulator for an advanced stealth fighter.
The instrumentation is identical to the actual production version.
This is a tool for pilot skill and mission training. The simulator must provide a high-fidelity representation of the actual fighter’s response to the controls.
As the stealth fighter is modified over its lifetime, the simulator must be capable of being modified to reflect those changes.
It should also be reconfigurable for different fighter variants used for different missions.
The hardware interfaces are stable, available and well documented.
This is a standalone system.
The software of the aircraft’s control responses, Aircraft Model, World Model and Aircraft Controls are available as COTS products.

As the new project team, you must conduct the planning, designing, construction, testing and delivery of one of the simulator subsystems (see Block Diagram).
One Team will be the Lead System Integrator (LSI) and will coordinate the work of the other teams (subcontractors).

This is going to be a fun semester.

User Interface Examples Posted!

I have gone ahead and posted all of the Adobe Flex 3 projects I worked on during the Fall 2008 semester at Oakland University. The course focused on Human Computer Interaction and User Interface. Check out the demos!

Not a moment too soon, considering my boss went crazy when she heard of my resignation and not only copied my entire computer, disabled my network account, changed all the admin passwords and even made my full-time counterpart go from computer to computer to change the local admin passwords.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to take a moment and fill you in on what has been going on with my life. I know it’s been a while since my last post, but a lot of this have happened.

First and foremost, the semester from hell has finally ended, and with a BANG! I received Academic Honors with an overall GPA of 3.61 (4.0, 4.0, 3.9, 3.3, 3.0). Winter was a really busy semester and I have a lot to show for it. Take a look at my academic projects page and get a feel for the systems I helped create this semester.

Second, I have a new job! After years of dealing with my boss’s inadequate understanding of technology and lack of managerial skills, I no longer have to work for the evil wench at the library and will be starting at my new job next week. Not a moment too soon, considering my boss went crazy when she heard of my resignation and not only copied my entire computer, disabled my network account, changed all the admin passwords and even made my full-time counterpart go from computer to computer to change the local admin passwords. I thought my last day was May 5, but whatever.

Third, I have some new articles in the pipeline including the Mac Mini Car Integration, Using and iPod/iPhone to Remote Control Your Life and my Letter to the Board.

Oakland University Advisory Board Meeting

As a senior at Oakland University, I must take a course where I work in a team and am assigned a certain project or task and we spend the semester developing a solution to the problem.

As a senior at Oakland University, I must take a course where I work in a team and am assigned a certain project or task and we spend the semester developing a solution to the problem. Oakland changed the senior design project this year for Computer Science and Computer Information Technology this year and my project was selected by the professor to be showcased in front of the department’s advisory board. Anyway, long story short, it went very well. Have a look for yourself!
