  1. ECE AdventuresEGN1935 Team Name: Team Tubby Robot: Tubbe Team Members Steven Bingler Gaby Cruz Daniel Karol Jared Howard

  2. Steven Bingler • 2nd Semester Sophomore • I'm a ECE major. • While I've always been interested in this subject, this course has cemented my interest in the field. • After graduating with my M.S. I'm hoping to get a job at Intel or AMD with a focus on CPUs. • Learning how different devices work was enlightening, I found the analog integrator especially interesting.

  3. Steven Bingler (Cont.) • I'll be recommending the class to anyone interested at all in the subject. It's good to check out a class if you're: • intrigued, • you may find out you enjoy it enough to change your major, • or reassure you that you've picked the right one. • If nothing else, you get to play with robots for a semester.

  4. Gaby Cruz • 1st Semester Freshman • Mechanical Engineering major and Environmental Studies minor. • I have learned that working collectively in a project offers the best results. • Networking with professors in the Engineering College and collaborating with other engineers. • I plan to succeed in GM internship, join IEEE in the future, and hope to get involved in many projects.

  5. Gaby Cruz (Cont.) • I plan to attend grad school for environmental research internationally and build my own eco-friendly car. • I would advice other students to take EGN1935 if they want to: • Gain experience in the field of engineering • Meet other intelligent engineers • Realize that engineering is a field for teamwork • Enjoy programming robots

  6. Daniel Karol • 3rd Semester Sophomore • Before my 2nd semester, I switched from Architecture to Mechanical Engineering. I’m also a double major in Business Management. • This course has provided me basic knowledge about sensors, motors, and circuts. I also had hands-on experience in the engineering field. • I plan on joining SAE for the Formula Car and I plan to join the robotics team with Professor Schwartz.

  7. Daniel Karol (Cont.) • I hope to work for a car manufacturer in Europe and extend my knowledge into a business within mechanical engineering. • My advice is: “If you want to learn more about the things you are interested in, you should find clubs to join at UF. Taking this class is a great start for my career because of the hands-on activities.

  8. Jared Howard • 1st Semester Freshman • Mechanical Engineering major • I found that experimentation helped more than the theory; most of all, it was fun! • That being said, I still love math. • I hope to graduate with a Bachelor’s in ME and declare a minor in EE. • My future plans are to design robots.

  9. Jared Howard (Cont.) • I would advise this: TAKE THIS CLASS IN THE SPRING!

  10. Design and Methodology • We wanted only the best. Unfortunately, that's not what we got, so we had to make due. • We used the infrared sensors to guide Tubbe away from the walls and towards his destination. • There were many encounters with the wall, but after fiddling with the code, Tubbe followed the wall instead of crashing into it.

  11. Design and Methodology (Cont.) • In order to follow the wall, we had Tubbe turn away from the wall if the sensor indicated too high of a value, and towards the wall if the value was too low. • This worked better than our first attempts before we worked with the sensors. Trying to time how long to go forward, then turn, then forward, then turn was tricky........ • He would turn/run farther/shorter than he should have.

  12. Solutions • TRIAL AND ERROR! Lots and lots of experimentation! • We initially had problems making Tubbe turn; eventually, we decided to use both the front IR sensor and one of the others to help it when turning. • We had to place Tubbe under the garage to calibrate the CDS cell. It took a few tries to get it to go completely inside; he’d often stop short!

  13. Team Conclusions • Among the many electrical terminology and equations that we learned in class and in the lab, we learned to cooperate and work with our teams. • In our lab all the teams supported each other and gave help when needed. • In one statement: “Our support and team efforts gave us the opportunity to successfully complete EGN1935 and gain a intellectual practice in electrical engineering.”

  14. Team Conclusions (Cont.) Because of this class we have met engineers that will always be there to help.
