Dear class,

We recognize that there is an error on the website that lists the comissioning deadline to be your Model Shop 5 date instead of Model Shop 4. Commissioning is due next week during Model Shop 4, as listed on your section schedules. We apologize for the confusion and have alerted our web team of this issue. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Best,

Prof. Paredes

Dear class,

As we discussed in lecture today - our program is happy to announce our end-of-semester events celebrating the work that you have put into your semester long design projects!

Poster Session: All students are required to submit and present a poster on their SLDP project on Monday, December 2, 2024 from 12:30 - 1:50 PM in the MakerSpace EventSpace. 

• We will communicate expectations for the posters this week in recitation, as you all will practice creating an academic poster using your results from Lab 10. 

• Additionally, we will also host an optional poster making workshop on Monday, 11/18 from 12:30 - 1:50 PM in RH303C. I will send out a reminder e-mail closer to the date. This will be an opportunity for you to ask questions and get feedback on any drafts of your poster. 

• Submission guidelines for your SLDP posters will follow. 

If you would like for your poster to be considered for the SLDP Showcase, which is an oral presentation showcase held on Monday, 12/9, please see below for more information. Applying to participate in the showcase is optional for all teams.

Showcase: During the poster session, selected teams will have their posters judged by a panel of faculty and teaching assistants. Teams will be judged based on their poster design, communication skills, and quality of their projects. The top three RAD and top three HIR teams from these groups  will then be invited to present their final presentations to a panel of faculty and TAs on Monday, 12/9, from 12:30 - 1:50 PM in Pfizer Auditorium. These teams will compete for the first place award, the Gunter Georgi Award, and second place award, the Nick Russo Award. These awards, named after the educators who established our course, celebrate excellence in design, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Recipients of the Nick Russo Award will receive $100 per team member. Recipients of the Gunter Georgi Award will receive $200 per team member and the opportunity to present their work to incoming first-year students at 2025 Convocation.

If you would like to be considered for the showcase, you must submit an application. The application requires:

• Successful completion of Benchmark B

• CAD renderings of your design in Fusion 360/Revit

• A draft or copy of your Milestone 3 Presentation 

• Photos and/or videos of your project, if available

• Responses to a series of short-answer questions in the application form linked below

To apply, please provide this information using this application form by Sunday, November 17, 2024 at 11:59 PM ET.  Teams will receive confirmation from our team by Friday, November 24, 2024 at 5 PM ET.

Thank you, and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

Hi class!

I am waiting on confirmation from Darren regarding yesterday's lecture slides, but in the meantime, here the announcements for this week:

• I have uploaded the lecture slides from last week to the website. They can be found under the "Lecture" tab. 

• Some of you have communicated ongoing issues regarding Benchmark B - again, we apologize for the inconvenience that the closing of OL caused. If you need any additional support, please reach out to your recitation instructors.

• As you all assemble your physical prototypes for the SLDP, please check in with the OL TAs regarding resources available both in the OL and in the MakerSpace. Please remember that you are NOT to spend any of your own money on projects; if you are unsure of how to place an order for material, an OL TA can assist you.

• Later this week, we will release the information for the SLDP showcase! This showcase, which will take place on Monday, 12/9 during lecture time, is an opportunity for SLDP teams to present their project pitches to a panel of faculty, TAs, and their peers in Pfizer Auditorium. Teams who win the best pitch for both HIR or RAD projects are eligible for cash prizes and will be presented an award during the 2025 New Student Orientation. I will provide more details during lecture on Monday, but if this is an opportunity that is of interest to you, let your recitation faculty know and they'll be happy to provide you with more information in the meantime!

Thanks and have a great week - hope you all did well on the calculus midterm!

Prof. Paredes

Hi all,

Sorry for the confusion around OL's hours. Today, OL will close at 8 PM (not 8:30 -- our TAs use this half hour to close and clean up for the next day, so please be mindful of this!). 

Best,

Prof. Paredes

Hi all,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Open Lab is now closed for the rest of the evening and will reopen on Thursday, 10/31. Please refer to the schedule for operating hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, especially during Benchmark B week. If you have any concerns about your group's progress on the SLDP because of this, please reach out to your recitation instructors for assistance. 

Best,

Prof. Paredes
