Ian Hoek Spaans • 1st 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.
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.
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.
The Epic Adventure • Intercept the rebels before they can reach the poorly designed exhaust port! Way to go civil engineers!
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.”
