About Me

My name is Maya Patel, and I am a freshman. I'm currently planning to major in Mechanical Engineering. I'm hoping to get involved in one of the publications on campus, join SWE, and find some new interests along the way.

Name Pronunciation

My name when pronounced aloud pretty much sounds like "My-uh" "Pa-tell." According to the dictionary, my name is pronounced "May-yuh" "Puh-tel," which seems accurate for my last name, but it's not as helpful for my first name.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the 3-D Drawing demo. Essentially, this program produces a three dimensional drawing of an object based on the rotation of lines around a vertical axis. The rotated lines are produced by the user clicking points on the screen. Simply right clicking produces the last click, automatically producing the rendering of the object. I really like this program because it was simple for the user to use, with very few steps, uncomplicated motions, and an accurate resultant drawing.
