TABLE OF CONTENTS  Group Members Biographies  Robot Story  Conclusions

JONATHAN MORIARTY  2 nd Semester Freshman  Exploratory Engineering  Computer Eng./Hardware emphasis  I learned basic programming skills.  This course made me interested in taking more ECE classes in the future.  I want to try and join an ECE club and work on a few projects

JONATHAN MORIARTY (CONT.)  In the future, I want to work for a company that builds bionic arms/legs.  Go to class and spend as much time as possible walking around campus. You never know what you’ll see or who you’ll meet.

RICHARD SABALLOS  First Semester Freshman  Pre-Biomedical Engineering  Gained a appreciation for electrical engineer Learned about basic sensors and electronic equipment such as capacitors, resistors, LED's, etc. I also learned how they function.

RICHARD SABALLOS (CONT.)  It won't effect my future much but I strongly considering joining gator robotics.  Get involved with research.  Plan to get a Ph. D in my major and eventually gain a position at a University where I can conduct research.  Don't be afraid to try something new cause that is the only way to discover yourself.

DAWN SCHWARTZ  2 nd Semester Freshmen  Civil Engineering  I am also considering Computer Engineering and DAS  In this class I learned rudimentary skills in programing, and about circuits and robots  This class is one step in me deciding if I want to change my major from Civil to Computer Engineering

DAWN SCHWARTZ (CONT.)  At UF, I want to become an Honor Student on the Dean’s List, and Join clubs that will boost my interest in Engineering.  I want to pursue a career in either Civil or Computer Engineering, and earn a Master’s Degree in my prospective field.  Life is like a fencing bout, you will get hit, but you must be able to react to everything that comes at you in a positive light.

ROBOT STORY  Schwartz Stuff is an elf who is trying to get home. He has to make his way from Africa to the North Pole to make it home in time for a party in light of Christmas.

TEAM CONCLUSIONS  With this project we learned new skills that we would have never learned in our majors. It allowed us to work together to solve problems, and create a working robot, that could navigate the maze.  Keep trying new things, even if they do not work out, get back up, and try other things.
