Demonstration and discussion on embedded systems from the maker's perspective

  • The demonstration will be using the Arduino microcontroller to engage and encourage students to tinker and innovate. NVC Student, Andrew Pettus (Vice President), will be introducing the Arduino hardware and similar concepts to get started with the light electronic prototyping and code development. The discussion/demonstration will include basic input and output devices such as buttons, LEDs, motors, potentiometer, and some sensors.

Machine Learning - Presented by Dr. Wenbin Luo

What is machine learning? How do the machines learn from data? After that, we will discuss the main categories of machine learning and their respective applications. Two concrete examples of machine learning applications, movie recommendation systems, and facial recognition, will be used to illustrate how machine learning techniques were used to solve real-world problems.

Git - Presented by Dr. Kevin Roark

Dr. Roark will be covering a hands on tutorial on Git, GitKraken, and Source Tree. Git provides functionality to create repositories, which are directories containing project files, and a history of changes made to those files. With Git, you can easily collaborate with other contributors, merge changes, and revert to previous versions if needed. It allows you to maintain a detailed history of your project, making it easier to understand the evolution of the code and fix bugs.
