Technology in the Class

This class uses a wide array of different technologies to assist students- far more than just Canvas. I actually am very excited about this because up until now (my former blog posts as evidence), my main excitement of the class was learning Indian Epics; however, with the emphasis on modular technology skills as well, there will be a more lasting impact. As an engineering major, we are told that if we have the free time, we should pick up computer science skills, such as programming, or online design skills. The issue is, with such a packed semester, it can be hard to add in different classes. Though I had the free time, I chose to add math instead of CS. With this class, I do not expect to gain an in-depth knowledge of programming nor website design, but rather, an introduction to basic image manipulation or website design to allow me to further skills later if I wish.

An edited statement- Looking forward to learning about Indian Epics and more about technology in the classroom!

There are many things to learn in this class, far more than I would have thought at first glance. Source: Pixabay

Introduction: Getting to know Me

My name is Sean, and I am double majoring in chemical engineering and mathematics. I enjoy mathematics and computations, and the engineering program marries these two very well, while the mathematics program introduces a theoretical side. I hope to learn enough about mathematical modeling and refinery operations to become a financial forecaster for crude training. Favorite Foods: My favorite food of all time is the szechuan chicken with hot chile oil from a restaurant in my hometown called Szechuans. But other great foods include: gumbo, steak, and kettle chips. I had the chance to intern at ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where I consumed a large amount of cajun food. I had gumbo 3-4 times per week and while there are many kinds of gumbo, the best is by far chicken and sausage. Free Time: In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, running, and racquetball. Soccer is a sport I've played for the past 15-16 years, and I've played for many teams including intramural and c...

Week 7 Story: The Legend of Baker Mayfield

There was a competition occurring in Dallas, Texas on a crisp and cool October day. The stadium was lined with fans, half of which likely wouldn't be able to make competent sentences. The competition was simple: win a game of football by scoring more points than the other team. The two teams lined up on each side of the field, one of them the team from Oklahoma, the other, a team from Texas that was only allowed to play because they begged really hard and eventually the conference got tired of them crying. While many players were ready for the competition, one in particular thought he was the best fit for the entire contest. One player in particular had been rearing for a chance to win this game for the team from Oklahoma. The problem was that he was not formally allowed into the game, so he would need some kind of disguise in order to blend in well. He did what he had learned was called "walking on" and disguised himself in order to be able to compete. Many of the othe...
