Join the ECE Adventures team as we share our experiences and aspirations in the field of engineering. Meet our team members: Jonathan Moriarty, Richard Saballos, and Dawn Schwartz, who are navigating the early stages of their engineering education. Discover Jonathan's passion for robotics and bionics, Richard's interest in biomedical engineering and research, and Dawn's exploration of civil and computer engineering. Our collaborative project, "Schwartz Stuff," highlights the valuable skills we gained while building a navigable robot. Together, we embrace the journey of learning and teamwork!

Table of contents • Group Members Biographies • Robot Story • Conclusions
Jonathan Moriarty • 2nd 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 • 2nd 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.
