Discussion items

ItemWhoNotes
PackagesVictoria
  • All packages coming in (from the USA especially) need to have a team name on it so potential brokerage fees can be traced back to the respective team
Wood project roomGraeme 
  •  Will be opened on an "as needed" basis as projects require more wood (ESMS has been almost exclusively metals to date)
  • Talk to Graeme if the bay is needed for after hours sanding usage
  • Router needs internal training (i.e. SDC staff), but will be functional and bookable by the end of next week (to be booked similar to the Haas in the ESMS)
CAD Room ComputersPeter
  • Teams can now "reserve" computers to add it to a user managed workgroup to install custom software without the need for IT support
  • Will be a term-by-term basis, intended for teams that have sponsored software (HyperWorx, ANSYS, etc.) that don't have bay computers
SDC ManualVictoria
  • Has been updated and re-uploaded to Sharepoint for reference
E5 LockersPeter
  • Intended for use exclusively for SDC teams without bays, and for ME FYDP (does not apply to us)
Co-op FormsVictoria
  • Bays will be "locked-out" (door code changed) for teams that fail to submit co-op forms by the end of the second week of the Co-op's work term
  • This is to prevent the co-op from using the bay due to safety reasons
Travel FormsPeter
  • New travel form (still a draft document) prohibits teams from attending competition (i.e. no travel reimbursements, etc)
  • This is judged on a case-by-case basis, discussion should be taken up with Peter to verify the circumstances
Truck TrainingGraeme
  • Now a learn course after forms are submitted, practical training is still in-class/in-car
  • ELD (logging devices) will be rolled out to comply with new US DOT laws, replacing the paper logbooks
  • Possibility of a self-test being added for towing training (i.e. move the trailer from EC4 and back it in to E5
Battery Assembly RoomPeter
  • To be moved downstairs into engine test room (there is a second room in the engine room)
  • Will be outfitted with HV tools and equipment
Electronics RoomPeter
  • Talks of turning this room into a "machine shop for electrical work" for all undegrad students
  • Benefits the SDC by keeping the room well stocked with other people's money, and the place stays organized
  • Peter will present a proposed floor plan at the next meeting
SDC TrailerPeter
  • Is being replaced in the next few months 
  • Peter is looking for input as to what teams would like to have for the new trailer
