Activities: Created Subgraphs for the TEMOA Model, and linked them together

Technical Information: TEMOA Project (Graphviz/Python), Bash Script

Reflection: This week Aishwarya and I have been working on subgraphs for the TEMOA model. They look good and work perfectly. I linked the main model diagram to the various subgraphs so that when a user clicks on a certain area of the model, a subgraph pops up with with more specific information.

This week I have also been working on Bash Scripting. A Bash script is a simple script that can be executed to move, create, and execute other programs. Many files are being generated when the TEMOA model is executed. The Bash script is useful because I can tell it to run TEMOA, and then immediately organize the images.



I am working with graduate students on this project, so one would obviously need a bachelors degree. However, everyone I work with has a different major (i.e. Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Environmental Engineering, etc), and all of them are working to get their masters degree. I am more interested in programming that communicates with hardware (Robotics/Electrical Engineering), but I am learning a lot of stuff here that i'm sure is also used in what I hope to do in the future.
