This post provides a step-by-step guide to creating a company-managed Scrum project in Jira. Jira supports multiple project types. I'll briefly discuss the differences between Scrum and Kanban and why you might select a particular project template.
Regardless of discipline, many fields need to be able to process, manipulate, and visualize data. This article introduces the basics of plotting data with Python using Matplotlib. View the notebook on Github or experiment with it yourself on Google Colab.
This article discusses some of the factors that contribute to project success and what you as an individual team member can do to influence that success. When I began writing this article, I intended it as a guide for my undergraduate senior design teams. As such, some of the examples below are aimed at that context.
In this article we'll build on my previous article, Web Development Basics with Python & Flask and introduce the Javascript language and the concept of asynchronous communication with a webserver to provide a clean and dynamic user experience.
This article introduces some of the basic concepts of batteries with particular applications for hobby-level small aircraft projects and similar. My aim for this article is to supplement my students' research for their senior design projects and provide an introductory walkthrough of the topic.
Getting started with web development can be daunting and overwhelming if you don't know where to start. This article will take you step-by-step through the basics of getting your first web application built.
Despite the wide adoption of modern agile practices, formal engineering requirements remain important in many organizations. Formal requirements are often defined early in a project (i.e. before design and implementation), though they often evolve throughout the product lifecycle. They are important because project and industries that define formal requirements specifications tend to hold engineering teams accountable to meeting those requirements. Formal requirements can derive from industry regulation and compliance standards such as FAA regulations, FCC requirements, NIST cybersecurity standards, HIPPA compliance, PCI standards, etc. or be defined by engineering teams in collaboration with customers to capture project-specific constraints.
Abstract. This article gives a bried overview of the Arduino language along with links to various resources and reference data.
Abstract. This article introduces Arduino and microcontroller concepts. The primary purpose of this article is to provide links to existing resources rather than writing a new tutorial. This is a summary microcontrollers that links back to resources I've found useful.
Abstract. This article introduces the concept of embedded systems with a brief overview of microcontrollers and small low-cost computers for embedded applications.
