Class Exercise – Meet Your Classmates Initial Groups - alphabetical Introduce yourself – handshake Don’t talk to your friends! Your interests Something interesting you did Exchange phone numbers – optional 45 – 60 sec per People with odd ID numbers move-my signal

Role and Responsibility Document on Web Page – Read It!! Team Expectations Work together as a team Create a Project Statement that clearly defines the project objectives and goals. Identify one team member as the primary contact point with the Sponsor. Publish agendas 24h in advance of sponsor meeting. Publish minutes within 24h of the meeting. Maintain a Design Notebook to record decisions, actions, communications, results, etc.. Provide a one page summary (schedule and quad chart) for Faculty Advisor meetings. Provide Drafts to sponsors in advance of oral presentations and demo day display. Maintain and provide a rough order of magnitude [ROM] budget to the sponsor for proposed material and fabrication of your experimental design. Dedicate yourself to make the project successful and benefit from working on an important real world problem.

Your responsibility Take SD seriously – 250 days to Demo Day Work as a Team Maintain a Team Design Notebook Document your work, decisions, results Develop schedules (L1, L2, L3) Balance project to meet objectives –roles/responsibilities analysis, modeling manufacturing/fabrication, testing Develop skills important in the industrial environment: metrics – where are you? TEAMing, communication, brainstorming, risk analysis

Your responsibility Meet your Milestones and Commitments Learn/Apply technical skills Software used: CAD, FEA, CFD, WM, LabVIEW, TeamCenter Communicate self-learned skills to all other teams: rapid-prototyping (SLA-SLS), motor sizing, etc. Additive manufacturing Demonstrate Professional Courtesy Speakers, me, each other
