Presenting a Final Year Project on UAVs
Being a final-year student is more demanding that all the other semesters I have been in. This is why I have been away for a while, and at the same time, I have been trying to diversify into other things and not let my life be centred only around Hive alone. I think this also contributed to my not being very active.
This week I had my pre-data, which is the presentation of my final year topic (project), and also explained to them how I plan to build the project. I had been given my project topic since last year, and since then I have been studying and learning how to build it. My project topic is "The Development of an Unmanned Ariel Vehicle for Maize Disease Detection and Identification.
Before the presentation day, we (my project mates and I) had spent the whole night together trying to make corrections to the slides. My supervisor had corrected some things and asked us to put in a circuit diagram and a 3D model of our drone. We had issues with doing what my supervisor asked us because neither of us knew how to make a 3D model and we didn't have proteus software or software to make.
So what we did was ask a friend who knows how to 3D model to give us one of the ones he had made, and for the circuit diagram, we didn't make one. We just used some block diagrams and displayed the components needed.
Here are some pictures of our slides below:

On the day of the presentation, we were meant to print 4 copies of our slides and submit them, but because we got our slides ready before the day of the presentation, we were not able to get them printed. I got to school to figure out that our group was the first to present, and it was just 5 minutes away for the presentation to begin, and our slides had not been printed.
I had to leave the venue immediately to print my slides, but when I was done, I was over 30 minutes late for the presentation, which added minus 10 marks to our score. The supervisors were not happy with us, so they put pressure on us while asking us questions about our project. In the end, we could answer most of their questions, and we were free to leave for the next set of people to present their project.
Below are some pictures I took during and after the presentation.

Brother, this felt like it was my defense back when I did mine. It's just the same experience. Quite a rough day, I know! Thankfully, you're now a step closer to finally graduating. I hope they were playing about the -10 marks, though. Marks don scarce for market
Thank you for reblogging this
I saw it on my feed and just said oh wow
Who is this handsome and smart man?
UAV, I don’t know what that is but I’m sure he is smart to have chosen that topic
That's my brother, you know. 😂
And he is smart and handsome.
UAV are basically drones. He's studying the same thing I did in school. I have a fun fact to share in DM, by the way.
What?
Your biological brother?
Not actually... But we're that close
Oh okay
Like the same experience? Damn I would not be really surprised 😂😂😂
Looking good, Starstrings.
Yes o, final year is really stressful, from your project to classes, tests and exams and your efforts towards preparing for life after school can be a lot to juggle.
I myself, I am currently facing the stress of my first semester of my final year exams.
This comrade right here has seen a lot. 😂
You know how it is too, bro.
Hey brother. You are one man that can relate to what I am facing because you are actually going through the same thing 😂.
How is your project going as well?
Oshey fine man
I wish you an excellent result and I’m sure you did well
I’m glad I never had to defend my project when I was at the university Cos wetin I wan talk😂
You were in group during your defense while you were at the university?
Yes ooh
So I kept mute on defense day😂
wow gifted hands dressed up for presentation and slaying. unlucky u printed late and lost some marks. hopefully your group can still pass D:
I hope the supervisors were whining us about the reduction in marks. Because it would not be really nice to our grades
I'm not sure if it was a huge amount of marks lost but there should be a penalty for being late. If you came to present a project to a potential client and came late like that, that wouldn't look good and you may have lost a business deal because of that. I understand it's university but it should be a bit of preparation for the working world I feel because it's not like high school and below anymore you know?
