Hardware engineering Assistant

As talented young people who have brought honor to the State of Florida, six presenters will be introduced to the group and asked to take the floor for up-to-three minutes on a selected subject. A variety of presentation topics provide a stimulating program for the audience.

An audience of approximately 1,000 people will attend the SSEF Opening Ceremony. The objective of the JASON Colloquium is to honor the presenters and to stimulate the audience toward positive academic goals.

The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.

That you are here—that life exists and identity,

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Walt Whitman

What will your verse be?

Start with an idea…

Communication is key to success.

Competing in science fairs at the regional, state, and international levels, I learned that the second-most important skill is communicating technically complex topics to an audience of any size with any background. Most genuinely said by Albert Einstein:

“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”

The most important is PASSION. To learn to love your work and explain it to others so they can understand the knowledge gained AND be excited to share it is one of the highest honors in science and engineering. When we come together to promote education through a heart to help others, we can solve the world’s most challenging problems.

It begins by observing your environment, asking questions, and forming an idea to solve the problem. Any step in the right direction is progress. Keep stepping, failing, learning to succeed, and we will make the world a better place!

    • Developed and evaluated a radio frequency (RF) transceiver system to safely locate a target

    • Configured a point of origin using the properties of triangulation to position 4 omnidirectional receivers within 90 meters of the target to pinpoint each transmitter within 3 meters. The transmitter represents a target to be located and identified using RFID programming.

    • This system enables rescue personnel to understand the best plan of action to secure the dangerous environment in a time constraint ensuring the safety of the rescue personnel and saving invaluable time to secure the victims incapable of line-of-sight identification.
