New Semester and New Projects

This semester, our software engineering class is all about UH Dorm Energy Competition. Our main goal for this semester is to plan and build everything for the competition for next Fall. Our class is divided into groups. Each group has a specific task that benefits the overall project. For the first milestone, I was assigned in the Kukui Cup Technology Prototypes. Our group's goal is to explore various technology infrastructures for the dorm energy competition.

For this week, our group's task is to research content management systems. So far I have read articles and watched videos about CMS such as Drupal and Joomla. Other group members are doing the same. Our plan is to meet up before our first group meeting with Professor Johnson and discuss everything that we researched so far. We will then try to come up with the best technology out there that we can implement in the dorm energy competition. The way we intend to accomplish this is by creating categories and grading each technology that we researched on. We will then tally the scores and discuss the selection before presenting it to Professor Johnson.
