Meeting Minutes

Meeting Tuesday, October 21, 2014
It was great to see you all at the meeting today! Here is a reminder of what we went over today:
 
  • Cookie Jar Fundraiser
  • Possible plant tours
    • The Cleveland chapter of AIChE is hosting a plant tour of ZOOK. They manufacture rupture disks, explosion vents, and other pressure relief products. (Click Here for the flyer). If you need transportation feel free to contact us. 
    • There are also many opportunities listed on the Cleveland chapter's website at http://aichecle.org/programs.htm
  • Vex Robotics Competition 
    • Vex is a robotics competition designed for middle school and high school students.  As students in engineering, we believe that it is our duty to get younger students engaged in science, technology, math, and engineering.  To help view this image, they host the Competition here at CSU.  To help the event run smoothly, they need as much help as possible. This is why they are asking for help.  They need volunteers for the day of the event, as well as people to help set up the night before. Some positions require training while others you just need to show up to the event.  If you are interested in helping, talk to an IEEE Officer, or email Will Monahan at Monahan.w.us@ieee.org.  Additionally you can fill out the volunteer form here: http://goo.gl/gg5uTH .  On the form there is a description of the potential positions you can help out with. There is some more information in the flyer (Click Here).
  • Monsters Game
    • We would like to go to a Monsters hockey game again this year. There was a lot of interest at the meeting, so we will follow up with possible dates.
  • Guest Speakers
    • There was some interest in having guest speakers come in and talk to us about what they do as a professional engineer. If you have any ideas in what you would like to learn about, but didn't want to speak up at the meeting, please let us know and we will try to work something out.
  • Canstruction
    • We are planning an inter-organizational event with the other engineering student organizations called Canstruction. There is more info and pictures here! Basically, money is raised to buy canned goods and then a structure is built out of them in a competition with local Cleveland companies. After the competition, the food is donated to a local food bank. More information to follow.
 
We hope to see you all again next month!
