Introduction

My name is Remy Freire, I'm a freshman (Class of 2019) here at Duke, and I plan on studying Civil Engineering.

Grand Challenges for Engineering (HW 1)

Even in the U.S. Access to Clean Water Can Be Tough Christen Simeral and Cat Boardman, U.S. News and World Report, updated 12 August 2014, accessed 1 February 2016 (Provide access to clean water)

MATLAB Demonstration (HW 2)

I thought the example titled "Earth's Topography" was very cool. I've always been interested in maps and geography, so I can see myself using the features detailed in this section in my future MATLAB endeavors. The process of taking a flat surface (the world map), giving it a third dimension by adding elevation (representing the Earth's topography), then converting it into a globe, was surprisingly concise for such a seemingly complex task.
