1. EGN1935-ECE Adventures Fall 2012 Team Death Star The Tie-Fighter Team Members: Ian Hoek Spaans Jason Ervin Chris Nevins

2. Ian Hoek Spaans 1 st Semester Freshman Mechanical Engineer This course has showed me all of the neat engineering projects going on at UF. I definitely intend to involve myself with Gator Robotics I plan on pursuing Graduate Study in Ocean Engineering and working on underwater robotics or fisheries systems Meet as many new people and get involved as much as you can. It’s a lot more fun that way. You should probably go to class too.

3. Jason Ervin Sophomore Industrial and Systems Engineer I’ve learned a great deal about circuits sensors and basic programming At UF I plan to thoroughly prepare myself for a long career in engineering Eventually I’d like to own my own business or consulting company If you’re not first you’re last.

4. Chris Nevins I am a 1st semester freshman, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. This course has kept my interest in engineering fresh through laying open fields of study I thought I would have to wait years to begin discovering. It’s a great reminder of what’s to come, and incentive to push towards your goals and not let them come to you. I am here to get a bachelor’s in both mechanical and electrical, get a master’s degree in at least mechanical, and eventually get a PhD. The goal is to get a job in research, to push the boundaries of our capabilities and our understanding. Where exactly this will lead me, I don’t know, maybe NASA, maybe research at a university, if so, most likely UF. What would I tell the next class? If they are taking this course, they’re on the right path. Keep doing what you’re doing.

5. The Robot

6. The Epic Adventure Intercept the rebels before they can reach the poorly designed exhaust port! Way to go civil engineers!

7. Complex Technical Schematics

8. My bad guys… guys?

9. Conclusions We’ve learned the value of teamwork, as well as developed a firm understanding of some basic electrical concepts that will assist us in our future studies Beyond all else we now understand some more of what the UF engineering program has to offer. To future ECE Adventurers, we say “Make sure you eat a solid sandwich before class.”
