Nicole Esposito, Layiwola Ibukun, and James Mashburn EGN1935: ECE (Ad)Ventures Spring 2016 Mario’s Pit Crew Robot: Mario’s Kart Team Members: Nicole Esposito, Layiwola Ibukun, and James Mashburn

Meet Nicole Esposito Freshman Mechanical Engineering Major This class has given me an appreciation for robotics and a desire to get involved with them. I am hoping to get involved with one of the robotics clubs on campus. I plan on having a future in bionics and their use in prosthetics. Advice: Don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone.

Meet Layiwola Ibukun Freshman Electrical Engineering Major An EE major works with cool robots. EE has many interesting applications and a wide range of opportunities. This class has encouraged me to stick with EE. I am going to develop myself professionally through IEEE. I hope to help transform Nigeria in the near future with EE. Advice: Follow your dreams. If you believe it, you can achieve it.

Meet James Mashburn Freshman Computer Engineering Major The class convinced me to stay in the ECE field and allowed me to talk to experienced members of this field. At UF I plan to join a design team and hopefully go for a Masters degree. Later I hope to get internships and get a job with an engineering firm or maybe become a patent attorney. Advice: Not all classes are representative of what you will do in the future. Stay optimistic.

Team Conclusions When in college, especially if you are undecided about what you want to do with your life, take some fun classes like this one. GPA is not the most important thing! Get involved as soon as possible!
