Notes

General Ideas/Thoughts

  • I know we are pivoting away from lecture based learning, but should we have at least one lecture on CAD best practices for example? Or are we removing lectures entirely

  • Length of onboarding process: around 3-4 weeks to allow ample time to form solid foundation

  • Should we have people learn on their own? Since there isn’t enough time for one-on-one tutoring, is shadowing returning members while doing design work a good idea?

  • Assigning documentation and external resources?

  • Starter projects from Daybreak?

  • Philip’s two stage starter project idea?

Aeroshell

Strategy:

Curriculum:

Fergo/Structures

Strategy:

Trial by fire (with help as needed)

Dive straight into making a simple part following ASC and VR3 guidelines, experimenting and asking questions as you go along

Curriculum:

  • Some sort of introductory slides on the systems and what we will utilize in each system

  • 2-3 weeks of designing a simple part start to finish, potentially 3d printing the parts at the end

Dynamics

Strategy: 2 weeks of independent study throughout the week and discussions and applications on workdays.

Curriculum:

  • Discussions with Jacob about content from classes like Solids

  • Each subsystem looks into different things

    • Suspension - Double wishbone vs Trailing arm

    • Steering - 3-wheel steering vs 4-wheel Ackermann

    • Unsprung - First other teams unsprung components like hubs and uprights. The purpose of those and then generative design and Ansys
