Welcome to General Engineering 1004
Dear class,
Due to inclement weather, open lab is closed tonight from 5pm onwards following guidance from the university. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We plan to resume hours as normal tomorrow, and will update you with any changes.

Prof. Paredes
Hi everyone,
I hope you are staying safe from the rain. We understand that some of you may have been unable to attend class today or or have been significantly late to the your lab sessions. If this is the case, please communicate directly with your recitation professors and TA. There is no makeup for Lab 4 as it is a Modelshop session, but we will excuse lateness and absences due to the weather.
For group D students: if you arrived to class late this morning and did not sign in, please let your recitation instructors know to give you full credit for the session.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.
Thanks!
- Prof. Paredes

Hi class!
I've uploaded Lecture 1's slides to the course website under "Lecture" for your review. Remember (and as our Tuesday lab sections have found out already), there will be a lecture question on your lab quizzes!
Also - to prepare for the remaining lectures this semester, we will be using PollEverywhere for several in-class participation exercises. You will recive an invitation to signup for the site some time today. Please setup your password to ensure that you can login and participate!

Prof. Paredes
Hi everyone,
As we discussed in lecture today, this week's lab (Lab 2) will be a competition using Autodesk Fusion 360. By the time you arrive in lab this week, your recitation instructors will have added you to our institutional license for the software. Please set up your account prior to your lab session this week. Doing so will save you, your lab partners, and TAs time!
If you have any questions, please reach out to your recitation instructors.
Thanks and good luck with the competition! :)

Hello All,
Below is the application form for the RAD and VEX projects. Please only fill out the VEX/RAD application once you have formed your SLDP groups in recitation. The form is due by next Tuesday (09/19) 11:59PM ET. If you are applying for RAD, your group will need to attend Open Lab and meet with a TA for a RAD ideation session. If you are first applying for VEX, but RAD is your second choice, you are highly encouraged to attend an ideation session! Open Lab times can be found on the EG website. Please contact your recitation TA if you have any questions!
To apply for RAD or VEX: Please fill out this form. If you need help finding inspiration for RAD project ideas, you can reference this document.
Good luck to everyone!
