Team Guidance Presentations Remaining:
- 12:15-1:15 PM ET: Organization of Engineering Data
Have you ever looked at your vehicle's filename and folder structure in disgust? Does the filename "control-arm_Final_Rev3_FOR-REAL-THIS-TIME.sldprt" sound familiar? PDM, or a product data management system, is used by most engineering firms to organize, store, version, revision, and backup engineering data. Being able to operate within a PDM system is a key skill for young engineers. Join us to learn more about the benefits of PDM, the basic functions, workflow, and file naming. I will present a PDM scheme to get your team started, and you can modify as needed.
- 1:00-1:45 PM ET: Resource Management for SAE Teams
Successful SAE teams are masters of taking ideas and transforming them into real systems on real timelines. This transformation requires a delicate balance of money, time, and stuff. Join us to learn more about planning and managing your time, money, people, and material resources for the SAE CDS competition season.
- 1:30-2:00 PM ET: Introduction to SAE Standards
Did you know SAE has developed more than 44,000 standards? But what exactly are standards, and why do they matter? Join SAE’s Aerospace Standards team for an introduction to the world of standards, including how they’re developed, who helps create them, and the role they play across the broader engineering and mobility ecosystem.
- 2:45-3:45 PM ET: Design Guidance and Reference
Have you ever had trouble getting your design started? Were you stuck half way through a design? Do you ever wonder how to be more creative in your designs? Join us to get jump started on your ideation, creativity, and research skills. Get the right questions to ask at design reviews, set up your all-star design panel, and create design references to keep within reach on your desk.
- 4:00-5:00 PM ET: Shop Organization and Management
Teams need a shop to make their designs become realities, but what goes into a successful shop? Learn how to build a strong safety culture, evaluate or plan your layout and workflow, and plan for physical organization of your shop. Developing a strong background in safety will be a marketable skill to prospective employers.
