Hello EngSoc!!

I hope that everyone had successful midterms. As the term is over half-done I will be focusing most of my time on transitioning my successor, Don Tu, so that he can have the most successful exec term possible. I know he will be a fantastic VP Finance.

Since my last IW article there have been a few updates with Ridgidware future ideas. We are still moving forward with the new cash register system, which is being designed by a team of management engineering students. This system will be a drastic improvement on the current systems being used in Novelties and the C&D, and if it proves to be successful, this system will also be implemented in these areas. I am also working on putting together pre-made project kits for purchase in Ridgidware. These kits would be great for starter projects for students with minimal electrical experience who want to gain practical knowledge about circuits. The projects will be along the lines of LED alarm clocks, PCB design, Arduino-based weather stations, and other useful fun projects.

The sponsorship meeting this term will be taking place in POETS on March 14 at 4 pm. I will be including the sponsorship allocations in my next exec article so stay tuned for those!
