Session 2 At SOAR By Avembsys

The session started off getting to know about the 3 basic aspects of human personality which was to 'think','speak' and 'perform'.The 80:20 rule of industries too were mentioned which says-" 80% of problems can be solved using 20% of knowledge and remaining 20% problem has to be solved by using 80% of knowledge".The series of videos which we were then exposed to, threw light on expanding our mental ability towards the industry.One of them being very impressive although it was a movie scene which highlighted on the various embedded systems in a fighter plane.The concept of missiles,the two types heat sensing and laser guided and the various measures taken to counter them like the ECM(electronic counter measures) and also about the cruise and ICBM(Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) were very intriguing.Light was thrown on the cold war too that existed between USSR and US regarding the satellite Sputnik.We then got to know about the two basic kinds of computer systems which are the stand alone sysytems and the embedded systems,where a stand alone system is one which can  be used for different puposes unlike an embedded system.Not to forget about the Real Time Systems,its types hard and soft real time systems,spy satellites adopted by different countries etc..
                  The second half of the session was very touching..atleast for me..being exposed to the videos of the worst mid-air crashes killing so many lives in split second.One of them being the charkhi dadri mid air collision killing 349 on board although both the flights had the TCAS(Traffic Collision Avoidance System)system.The fascinating part was the emergency approaches taken by the pilots during take-off and landing like the TOGA(Take-off And Go Around) and the crab approach adopted during crosswinds which was a visual treat.With all this we are aware that there is no room for even a minute error in this industry,which can be summarised in a nutshell as 'ALMOST RIGHT IS 100% WRONG'. Awaiting anxiously to visit Avembsys on monday and looking forward towards the third session.............
