Yesterday in lab for ISAT 253 we used a thermocouple connected to a computer terminal to record the temperature change that occurs when we move the thermocouple from boiling water to ice water.

This image shows the thermocouple (orange wire) in the boiling water with the ice water beside it. The gray box behind it is where the thermocouple is connected, which is then connected to the computer to aquire the data.

The computer interface shows the graph of aquired data from the thermocouple. My lab partner, Krista is running the computer and taking data for calculations. The lab calculations use knowledge from the lectures to complete the lab.

My Professor, Dr. Altaii signs my lab notebook and checks to make sure I've taken acurate notes.

Today, in my Visual Basic class we started programming a casino application that allows you to simulate the rolling of dice and betting on possible outcomes. I'll write more once I've finished writing the code for this application, and I've finished the calculations from the ISAT 253 lab.
