• Master Thesis Defense in Software Engineering

Now that it's the beginning of May and touching down the end of the Spring semester, graduate students are setting up to the days of their lives. After a lot of hard work and patience, they are finally setting up to present to the world what they've been working on for the past couple of years.

Today, I was blessed to attend a Master Thesis Defense  entitled " UAV-CLOUD: A Platform for UAV Resources and Services on the Cloud" from the Software Engineering department at my college. What got me interested in this defense was t being conducted as part of my college's graduate program and that fact that I\m working on broadening my knowledge's scale in different aspects possible. That's because, I've come to learn that regardless of what major you are part of, or what you think you know, you should not limit yourself to that only but seek more and more. That is exactly what I am aiming at. Anyways, over the past years in the college, the topics conducted and presented seemed too vague and quite difficult for me to understand regardless of how hard I tried to get what these graduate students were talking about, but now that I myself have reached the stage of setting up my Senior project that's fulfilling the requirements of me getting my Bachelor's degree, I've come to know what is going on, and I'm surprisingly satisfied with myself so far.  

After attending this defense about setting up clouds for UAV to make them safer and efficient, I came to like the idea. At first, I thought it was going to be just another UAV session, but really it was one that got me thinking of what comes next in the context of UAVs. As for what I was able to witness and experience has to be the best part. First up was the question session where it turned out to be quite intense and very professional. I liked how the people asking questions were confident about what they were asking and the way they seeked the answer to their questions was professional and interesting for I haven't experienced that kind of situation yet. Aside from them, I liked how the student presenting was handling the intense questions being asked; she showed no sign of panic, or fright and she was solid, and very confident in answering. Her responses were very detailed, exact and fulfilling. Props for that!!

I bet it was one of the days of her life! From what I've seen today she really did work her way to earn it!
