Intro

I'm currently a freshman planning on majoring in ECE, with possibly a double major with CS or maybe an Entrepreneurship Certificate. I'm interested in ECE because I would like to build robots. Probably the biggest dream job for me would be something along the lines of building robots for NASA. Something about autonomous robots in space is way too cool, and I don't think that can be denied.

Matlab Example

I think the "Earth's Topography" example is the best example script for Matlab. I think the result is very impressive, and beyond what I initially would have thought Matlab capable of. At first it just looks like a simple program that can do some powerful data processing, but still only simple and text based, but Matlab also has visual abilities. The globe is 3-D rendered and it can even be rotated. The program is able to read a contour map, with which it can do things like outline the continents (using sea level). Alternatively, Matlab can apply a 2-D color based image showing altitude on an actual globe.

Art

I made a "painting" inspired by EGR 103.
