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.
