What three things did you learn in your courses that relate to your innovation?

In my EET405 course, Data Communications and Computer Networks, our task was to create an IoT device and application. This course allowed me to allow me to explore drones and their uses in society. While also researching and learning about drones, I created a war-flying drone. This war flying drone was capable of scanning networks through an application using python3. This drone cannot only scan networks but to mark a targets facial features, capture photos/videos, and use a live GPS. To secure the application, I used a secure login for the user and obfuscated the source code so malicious attackers would have trouble accessing the application. This project taught me a lot about the different aspects of developing drone technology and developing practical applications. For example, flying under the correct calculation is arguably the most essential part of any UAV device. If a drone’s measurements are incorrect, it will not take off or function correctly. Once I started understanding the data for the drone, my learning continued with things that can augment a drone to make it perform a particular task. This knowledge is valuable when servicing clients. Moreover, allowing for better communication with team members and other technical roles.
