It's All A Bunch Of Noise

Writing my masters thesis about noise and related topics

What I’m Doing

leave a comment »

For now I’m working on getting ready to work. I’m figuring out how I’ll analyze the data and deciding exactly what I’ll do. From day to day I’ve been adding to and editing my thesis proposal. From two weeks ago its about 20% longer and probably another 20% to go. Though I have a feeling the last 20% will be the hardest to finalize.

Either way, in the mean time I’m getting my head around the mounds of data from a previous study that I want to pull some new understanding from. So what do you do with a bucket of data. Well, a shovel would be nice but I need a screen to sift out the good stuff and put what comes out in some sort of reasonable order.

I’ve completed all the credits required for my Masters and all I have left is to do the research and write my thesis. I’m working on a research project involving hybrid vehicles and blind pedestrians. In the next few weeks I’ll be hashing out my proposal. Once that is complete I’ll have a much better idea about exactly what I’ll pull out of the research project. More to come soon.

Crazy Life

with one comment

I feel like I’m stuck in between school and a career. Working 40+ hour weeks in an office with meetings, projects, teams, budgets, ect. feels good and is incredibly inspiring to look forward to. The summer internship is now extended through the school year and I can’t wait to see long term where this may take me and to see how the projects progress.

Beyond work, this past week I met with a few professors to determine my Senior Design Project. It should turn out to be an interdisciplinary project group that I am very excited for. Out of college and in the real world that is how it works so why not get the experience in academia too.

Not only that, when I finish my bachelors in the Spring i will also graduate with 12 possibly 18 credits towards a masters in Mechanical Engineering. What a deal, In 5 years of college I’ll have a bachelors and could be half way to a masters degree. It would be hard to turn down a masters at that kind of price, I may just end up in Kalamazoo for a few more years then expected.

My grandma lives on the very top floor (somewhere in the mid teens at least) of her apartment complex and besides have the really long elevator ride up and down see has a really nice panoramic view of metro Detroit. It looks over I-696 and you could be probably see for at least 10 miles. I guess when you get to her age the perks just keep on rolling.
