The Student Design Centre (SDC), located on the first and second floor of Engineering 5, is home to twenty-two of the Faculty of Engineering’s student competition teams. The largest facility of its kind in North America, the SDC provides work bays for teams as well as special purpose spaces for sanding, painting, engine testing, electronics assembly, etc.
Here are some typical questions that students have about student teams:
How do I join a student team? Simple… email or walk into the team work bay and say “I want to join your team.” Recruiting new members is one of their biggest challenges for a team — so they will be really happy to meet you!
Why should I join a team? Being a member of a student team looks great on your resume – companies are always looking for students with practical, hands-on experience. Also being on a team gives you lots of experiences you won’t get in a class room. And it’s fun!
Will I be able to handle the extra work load? Absolutely! You can be an active member of a student team by participating as little as one-two hours a week.
The SDC is holding a Recruiting Open House on Tuesday, September 18 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Be sure to stop by to visit with the teams and get more information.
