Assignments

For this class, the assignments available are nothing too intimidating, as all the assignments are similar to things performed in other classes.  The most intriguing assignment is definitely the storytelling, due to the high level of creativity that it involves and the wide range of options available.  There is just so much personality to be infused into the exercise it most likely will be one of the most thought provoking every week.  For extra credit, I am most intrigued by the tech tips, due to my background as a web technician.  That is what inspired the following image for this post

When your website goes wrong from Soft9000.com

Which is symbolic of one of the many dreaded yellow screens one can see when managing content for a website or blog, and hopefully something that through properly applying the tech tips we all can avoid needing to spend time finding a fix for on our own blogs in this course.

    I'm guessing the tech tips that I suggest in the class list may all be familiar to you already, John-Paul... so if you do some tech exploration in connection with your blog or class website as a kind of "DIY Tech Tip" that you write up as a blog post, that will be great too! Do you use OUCreate already or have some webspace of your own where you can play with some javascript or other coding experiments that need HTTPS in order to play nicely online? I am really grateful for that OUCreate program because it now makes it easy for any OU faculty or staff or students to get access to that HTTPS webspace for experiments. I am guessing that as an engineering student you may get space like that already as a part of being in the engineering college, but OUCreate has been such a boost for the rest of us! :-)

Introduction to a UAS Pilot and Aerospace Engineer

Hello all, I am John-Paul Burke, a Aerospace Engineering Graduate student at the University of Oklahoma and Research Assistant for Dr. Andrea L'Afflitto at the University of Oklahoma's Advanced Dynamics Laboratory.  My hobbies and work overlap, with most of my current projects being the design, testing, coding, and flying of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) also known as drones.  Personally, I own 3 different UAS models, and enjoy flying them whenever possible.  As an FAA licensed UAS pilot, the ability to fly and allow others to experience the joy of piloting is amazing, because seeing the excitement on others faces when they fly (and crash) a UAS for the first time is infectious.  Below are several of my videos taken of or by my drones, with an apology in advance for the quality of the one taken by the drone, due to the UAS being a restoration project and so the camera is not quite up to full quality yet.  Restored Parrot Drone First Flight Test, personal v...

Week 10 Story: Into the Arena

Image
"Arjuna! Arjuna! Arjuna!" the chants from the crowd resounding throughout the arena.  Arjuna smiled slightly, then loosed another flurry of arrows, dropping all the targets released.  During each shot, the only thing he remembered was his trainer Drona's advice, "See only the head, not the body."  Eager to show even greater prowess, he hopped on his horse and galloped throughout the arena, hitting target after target without fail, prompting even more cheers from the crowd.  Finally, the time came for the greatest exhibition, and an iron boar was loosed into the arena.  To any witness, the next five arrows that Arjuna released were faster than the wind itself, and all hit the boar straight in the mouth, as if they were but a single arrow.  The boar dropped dead, and the arena rang with the mightiest cheers anyone present had ever heard. Arena, from  pinterest As Arjuna reveled in his glory, not all were pleased for the great prince.  Duryodh...
