Do Computers Talk to Each Other on the Internet?

Did you know computers talk to each other through their own, unique language? And that language is called TCP/IP. TCP/IP is a set of communications protocols that allow computers to communicate on the Internet. The language get its name based on the two most important protocols – the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). These two protocols specify how devices connect to the Internet and how data transmits between those devices. In simpler terms, it’s how all of those emails you send everyday reach the person on the other end.

Engineering for Charity

There aren’t many events in your life that will leave a lasting impression like an F4 tornado. Equally, the same tragic event brings out the best in a community and people. Personally, the impact of the devastation was minimal compared to others. Over a year and a half later, the Washington, IL is getting accustomed to the new normal and we are finally finishing up on home repairs. Part of the new normal is repairing the local mini golf course with designs created and built by area high schools.
