September 2024

Sessions - Pending Dates

First team specific meeting will also function as the initial 101 session.

Purpose of 101 sessions: Provide with a debrief on how to use the specific tools/features

• CAD 102 -

• FEA 101 - Richard/Winters

• Surface Modeling 101 - Liam/Jaiden

• Weldments 101 - Ethan/Anupam

• CFD 101 - Around October, get more comfort with surface modeling first

• Machining sessions - Later in the term, October maybe

  • Individual/Small group, open to all mechanical subteams

  • Check with Graeme, there was mention about creating machine shop sessions in W24

Onboarding Revisions

• Asynchronous Resource List

  • LinkedIn learning courses, youtube channels, etc

  • Can be made mandatory before taking on a task

  • Provide as additional material after 101 session(s)

• Design Sprint

  • more activity based

  • Take note on WARG’s hardware design

  • Should be free to take their own approach, rather then following a tutorial

  • Provide clearly defined constraints

• First Team Meeting

  • Include the following: Team overview, Regs overview, MSXV.5 tasks, MSXVI goals

• Update onboarding slides where needed

  • Midnight Sun Drive → Onboarding & Recruitment → MSXVI → F2024
