Week 15: April 27th - May 1st

AT 219 Autonomous Aircraft Technology and Maintenance 2

As the semester drew to a close, formal lectures were replaced with open lab sessions focused on gaining flight experience with the Believer drones. On Tuesday, April 28, I logged 20 minutes of flight time, serving as a Visual Observer while also gaining additional experience working in Ground Control.

Later that week, on Thursday, April 30, I completed my AT 219 practical final. The exam was divided into two parts: an oral assessment and a troubleshooting exercise. During the first portion, the professor asked a series of technical questions to evaluate our understanding of course concepts. In the second portion, I was given a Believer drone with an intentional defect and tasked with diagnosing the issue and outlining the steps required to repair it.

AT 319 Unmanned Aerial Systems Applications, Data, and Documentation

This week was dedicated to completing our final project. After processing my data the previous week, I spent the majority of this week analyzing the results and creating cartographically accurate maps for the final deliverable. I encountered software challenges due to the combination of very small pixel sizes and a large dataset, but I was able to troubleshoot and resolve them. Attached is the link to my final project.

AT 381 Aviation Security

During the final week of AT 381, we conducted tabletop exercises designed to demonstrate what we learned throughout the semester by applying it to realistic security scenarios with practical injects and response strategies. My group developed an insider threat scenario set at Purdue University. The exercise outlined potential hazards, incorporated coordination with local law enforcement, and evaluated whether Purdue University’s security measures are adequately equipped to detect and respond to an insider threat.
