Hi, I’m Alise Hardie, an intern working with Dr.Petruska, a mechanical engineering professor at Colorado School of Mines. Where Farrar and I work in his lab on different graduate students projects. I’ve been working with Austin for the past 3 weeks now at Mines.
We have started a new file or page of code which will take the data we have collected, run it through the algorithm of code we finished creating last week and then plot the data on a bar graph.
This bar graph is showing the application of what tool is begging to be used, things like whether it is dull or sharp, and then how we are deriving the mean from the data. The color red is none because for red we don’t change the data at all and just take the mean from the raw data. As you can see this gives us a lower standard deviation which means it’s not as reliable and shows us that the work we are doing to change the data mathematically helps make our code more accurate.
We also got to meet this amazing professor Dr. Eliasson. She showed us around her lab and the experiments her graduate students and her have been working on. We got to see where they blew up explosives on campus.
and also where the only place on campus they store explosives.
It was a really fun time and a cool lab to see. The women you see is Dr.Eliasson.
Fun thing I did was I hiked up a green mountain. It had a very lovely view.
Your internship requires very precise data. It sounds like you are having a great opportunity to learn and experience a lot. That is exciting.
We love your views of the mountains. We know that you like to hike so that is a fun time for you.
