Introduction
Hi fellow Pratt members!
My name is Jackie and I come from Singapore. I am a first year student at Trinity with the intention of transferring into Pratt to do ECE at the end of 2014 fall semester. I have little or no background in coding but I am excited to learn more about the things we can do with our computer!
Interests
I am a sports person and I have experience competing in basketball, rugby and canoeing for my high school/middle school. My favourite player is Blake Griffin from Los Angeles Clippers. I am also a great fan of economics, chemistry and physics.
Grand Challenges for Engineering
With the recent outbreak of Ebola in Africa, I found an article on the genetic engineering of Ebola drug particularly interesting. This article falls under the domain of engineering for better medicine.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
I found a Minesweeper program known as xpbombs under the "other examples" domain the most interesting because I found out that MATLAB can also be used to create games with an interactive GUI type of game like Minesweeper. Although I don't understand majority of the MATLAB code involved in the making of the program, this program gets me excited in learning more coding.
On a side note, I also found that MATLAB has many practical applications in engineering and science, for instance the Loma Prieta Earthquake program and the Earthmap program are very useful to seismologists and cartographists.
