Bio of Parker Karaus>Year: Freshman>Major: Electrical Engineering>I’ve gained an actual interest in electrical engineering,
rather than just a passing interest.>This course has given me a much better understanding of
what electrical engineers actually do and enough interest to keep pursuing it.
>I’d like to get an internship for an engineering company eventually. Also get my B.S. here, and possibly masters in some type of engineering
>If you’re not sure what you want to do, take classes on it anyway to find out.

Bio of Wyatt Ling• Year: Freshman• Major: Mechanical Engineering• I learned how different electronics work and how robots
uses sensors to avoid obstacles.• This course will allow me to understand how certain
electronics function.• I plan to get a B.S. and possibly my masters in M.E.• I want to get a job as a mechanical engineer dealing with
something I’m interested in.• The subjects you enjoy the most will allow you to learn
the most.

Bio of William Dixon>Year: Freshman>Major: Industrial or Mechanical Engineering>I learned how to program a robot through an intense
maze all by itself. >This course will give me a better understanding of
circuits in devices that I use daily.>I plan on majoring in ISE or ME and possible getting my
MBA.>In the process of getting my B.S. at UF, also, I plan on
acquiring my P.E.>If you pay attention, I promise that you will learn
something.

Design Methodology
• Describe how you solved the problem> Our team passed the obstacle course and finished the
course in 57 seconds. > Our team used trial and error to figure out what numbers
each sensor needed to be programmed to.> Our team used all sensors on the robot.> Trial and error, adjusting and readjusting the sensitivity of
the sensors to correspond to the maze’s path.> Originally we tried programming many functions but it
was too complicated and being simple was best.

Presentation Content: Team Conclusions
• This class taught us how to program a robot successfully and it taught us about many things within the electrical world, such as bread boards, circuits, and how an iPod works.
• Take advantage of courses that you think will be interesting to you because you learn the most from those.
