− | Computer Engineering degree thesis was an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chess playing system.
| + | |
− | The project implemented a theoretically undefeatable chess opponent. Results of the project
| + | |
− | indicated that given sufficient resources the system is undefeatable. This project was chosen
| + | |
− | to be presented and to compete as one of the best final year projects.
| + | |
| | | |
− | Successful completion of the computer engineering degree required the A+ course that was
| + | '''Hardware Design''' qualification. |

− | transmission and processing for use in several mines. The software was embedded onto
| + | |
− | external hardware which in turn communicated with a base system. That system graphically
| + | |
− | displayed the results and triggered external interfaces based upon the readings acquired. This
| + | |
− | system was unique because full error checking and control was necessary and needed to work
| + | |
− | in very challenging environments.

| | | |
− | During a school holiday in England in 1999, research and development work was done for
| + | '''TCP/IP''' Server/Client implementation experience. |
− | Ultra Electronics in Cheltenham England. Software was generated to access a database and to
| + | |
− | produce reports that were requested by the user. These reports were displayed on a secure
