Team Gator Mechanics embarked on an innovative journey during Fall 2013, exploring the intricate processes of the human circulatory system through engineering principles. Members Ryan Scott, Fernando Barroso, and Elizabeth Shoner utilized their diverse backgrounds in mechanical, computer, and electrical engineering to delve into the mechanics behind the blood cell’s journey, from oxygen collection in the lungs to navigating the heart. This project fostered teamwork and sparked a deep interest in circuitry and robotics, ultimately inspiring future careers in engineering.

Ryan Scott’s Bio • Born in Rockledge, Florida • Graduated from Rockledge High School and was Valedictorian • I'm a Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering Major • I like to run • I have had 2 engineering internships as of this summer
Fernando Barroso’s Bio • Born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. • Moved to Miami, FL in 2008. • Major: Computer Engineering • Minor: Entrepreneurship • QA Development Intern at Grooveshark • Summer Internship in Manufacturing at P&G • The class introduced me to a much more practical aspect of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Elizabeth Shoner’s Bio • 1st Semester Freshman • Before this semester, I was a mechanical engineering major, but now I plan to major in electrical engineering • From this class I now have a better understanding of circuits and sensors
Elizabeth Shoner’s Bio (Cont) • I would like to get involved with projects while I am at UF • I would like to do something with robotics in my career • My advice is go to UF events and get involved with clubs
The Blood Cell’s Story • Oxygen (aka Flashlight) goes into the lungs and is collected by the blood cell. • Once the Blood Cell is full of Oxygen it begins to flow towards the heart. • On its path through the veins. The Blood cell makes a couple of turns here and there.
The Blood Cell’s Story (Cont.) • Once it arrives in the left side of the heart it goes through Atrioventricular Valve. • The Atrioventricular Valve then closes (Aka Garage). • Then You can hear the Heart beat.
Words of Wisdom • We gained more knowledge about circuitry, sensors and Intellectual robots. • We were challenged to program robots to make it through multiple mazes. • We became more interested in the field of Electrical Engineering.
