ME Student Advisory Committee
At the end of the 2001-02 academic year, we further expanded the role
of the
student constituents in our program evaluation and assessment, through
formation of the Mechanical Engineering Student Advisory Committee,
(ME-SAC). The ME-SAC is comprised of representatives from each student
club,
professional organization, and competition team in the mechanical
engineering department, and also includes representatives from
inter-departmental programs. Each incoming student leader, or an
organizational representative in the case of inter-departmental groups,
is
invited to join the ME-SAC in a transition luncheon attended by the outgoing
and incoming student members near the end of spring quarter of each academic
year. Student organizations represented on the ME-SAC include ASME, AIAA,
SAE, SWE, Pi Tau Sigma, The SAE Formula Team, The Aero Design Club,
Engineering House, and soon the RIT Collegiate FIRST team. The ME-SAC
meets approximately monthly with the department head in a lunch meeting.
Topics each year include
- Social (Field Day) with ME-SAC for all students in the department
- Annual Kickoff Presentation, State of the Department
- Budget Planning
- Program Promotion
- Budget Submittals
- Student Concerns
- Curriculum Session
- Planning the Banquet
- Update SAC Membership, new student leadership introductions
