Sean Taplin: Environmental Engineering, Final Week
It’s hard to believe that it’s already over. This internship has been a great experience, and I’m very glad to have had the chance to do it. This week, we mostly worked on creating a video about everything that we did throughout the internship. First we scripted the video, figuring out what we were going […]
Josh Ives, Computational Biology at CMU, Week 4
Hello everyone, I’m going to be telling you about my wonderful fourth week learning about computational biology at CMU. This week marked the start of a new portion of my internship. For the first three weeks I was primarily in lectures learning the fundamentals of the field; however, now the process is far different. The […]
Gregor Remec, LASP Software Development, Week Nine!
This week was great, I started coding on my project and got a ton done. Monday was almost entirely devoted to my Non-GUI element in my project, which is a maze generation algorithm. The specifics of how the algorithm works are far too complicated to write in a blog but it is super interesting stuff, […]
Clara Carrasco: Aerospace Engineering, Le Cinquième Semaine
When life gives you deadlines, don’t panic! This week I was finishing up the design of Maxwell’s interface plate. I had a conference call with Elliott (who’s an export on SOLIDWORKS and Arduino) and Aaron (the Maxwell project manager). They both approved of my design and suggested some modifications, in order to insure it can […]
Caroline Graham: Aerospace Engineering Week Five
This week was a little less eventful than usual, but Clara and I are slowly wrapping up our projects. One of the gyroscopes that I wanted to test was a shuttle board instead of a breakout board like the others and I had to modify the code to run that board, which took almost two […]
Anza Connaughton, Spinal Rehabilitation at the Frazier Institute, Week 5
Hiya! This was my fifth week at the Frazier Institute in Louisville, Kentucky and I’m absorbing everything like a sponge! This week was especially cool because I got to see the first real leap in progress that I have been able to observe since being here. All of our participants are constantly progressing but there […]
Claire Shaver- Behavioral Science, Week 5
Hello! This week marks my 5th week in Seattle! This week ended up being a combination of office work and observing testing. This week we had one TIGER family come in for testing. TIGER is a study looking at different genetic events linked with autism in order to find common phenotypes (what you can see). […]
Eric Gutierrez Week 5: Aerospace Engineering
Hello, hello! Welcome back to week five of my internship. We finally did it. On Thursday we went to the airfield and tested our inflatable wing. But before we talk about that, let’s take it back a bit. The reason we had to wait until Thursday was because we needed clearance to be able to […]
Carter Andrew: Conservation Metrics: Week 6
Side note: I got an extension!! I will be staying on at conservation metrics until week 8 🙂 Monday: I worked on formally documenting the projects that I had been working on. I have never done this and it felt good to explain everything I had been working on. Besides that, I had a pretty […]
Wiley Holbrooke: Okavango Wilderness Project, Week Two
I am continuing my work with the Okavango Wilderness Project (OWP). This week has been filled with nonstop packing. The Okavango wilderness project is attempting to depart on the 19th of July. For this to happen, it’s all hands on deck to get the nessecary equipment needed for a month on the […]
Rider Johnson, Hydraulic Modeling Lab, Final Week
It’s hard to believe that six weeks have already passed! This week was another interesting week. I spent most of it working on the Folsom dam model, doing the same things as last week. We were measuring different flow rates through the bulkhead gate and how much pressure came from each different flow rate. To […]
Rachael Burson – Biotechnological Engineering – Week 4
Aloha, My partner Yash and I have been assigned a phenotyping project. Phenotypes are the physical characteristics of plants. One such characteristic is growth rate. The professor’s goal is to understand how plants’ growth rate changes based on environment. This is possible because Hawaii has a large range of climates from one side of the […]
