Engineering

Every engineering student has (1) had fun with a micro-controller, such as the Arduino, (2) coded in an environment like MATLAB, often frustratingly, (3) walked down a dark and empty hallway way past midnight after finishing a project in the computer lab, and (4) has encountered some interesting and weird things in the laboratory. Each picture depicts a different photographic style (thirds, closed, open, and symmetrical). The vibrant colors and contrast in the first photo of the Arduino represents the “fun” or “cool” factor when working with micro-controllers. You can code them to do pretty much anything. The screen in the second photo was altered so that the code on the screen is more visible. Also, the colors around the computer were toned down and shifted towards the blue/green spectrum to give a more miserable feel. Coding for many, especially those who are not CSE majors, is sometimes frustrating. The third picture depicts a dark and eerie hallway. On countless occasions, especially when I was a freshman, I have found myself walking back to my dorm around 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning after completing an assignment. Walking alone, and everything being so quiet, it’s surreal. The last image of the bio-hazard boxes just shows what weird and fascinating things engineers do in the labs. The vibrance of the photo was turned up while the saturation was lowered a bit, which turned out to make the red/orange bio-hazard labels pop out.
