Current News:
8/26/2015 10:35 PM	Web Site Active for Fall 2015: The course website is almost ready for use for Fall Term 2015. I reserve the right to update the lecture slides just before presenting the material in class. Any corrections or changes to course material will be noted on this page – including tips for specific problems. Potential Projects for 2015-2016: The projects approved for IE Senior Design Credits are listed and linked on the Materials Page. In some circumstances, projects listed under “Other Campus Projects” may be adjusted to meet IE documentation and project planning/control requirements – however, these adjustments will require significant grading agreement by ALL departments participating. See the instructor ASAP if considering these projects – do not assume that you will be able to get IE Senior Design credit for “Other Campus Projects”. Class Time/Day & Location for IENG 464/465: This course is NOT held on the SDSM&T main campus. This class meets in the Active Learning Classroom (IER 205) on the second floor of the downtown campus. The building is located at 520 Kansas City Street. Note that after the second week, some teams will meet on Tuesdays from 11:00 AM – 11:50 AM. This will primarily affect only half of the Senior Design teams, and only then when a Project Status Meeting or Project Management Meeting is scheduled. The teams that will meet on Tuesdays will be determined at the class when project teams are finalized. Parking at the Industrial Engineering & Research Building: BEWARE THE CHANGES! If you have an SDSM&T parking sticker of ANY type, you may park in the spots marked SMD in the lot on the East side of the building (mostly the East row of the middle). Alternatively, you may also park in the metered spots along Kansas City street, etc. DO NOT PARK IN THE EITHER THE NON-SMD SPOTS OR THE GRAVEL LOT – you will likely be towed at your own expense by the firms that rent those other spots. If you get towed, it will probably be without warning.
Old News:
8/19/2015 11:05 PM	Web Site Under Construction: The course website is currently under construction for Fall Term 2015, and should not be relied upon for up-to-date information. Existing links, where available, point to information planned, but possibly not yet ready, for Fall 2015. A message will be posted here when the site is available.
10/20/2014 5:15 PM	Schedule Change For 23 OCT: By another miracle of scheduling, this year’s career FIE Conference happens to conflict with Senior Design. The original topics for 23 OCT have been moved to Thursday, 30 OCT at the regular class meeting time. NOTE: The 30 OCT class is one of those where all IE Senior Design students are required to attend.
9/11/2014 9:22 AM	New Due Date for Project Proposals: By a miracle of scheduling, this year’s career fair happens to conflict more with academics than with athletics. The due date for the team’s Project Proposal has been moved to Monday, 22 SEP at 5:00 PM.
9/4//2014 1:44 PM	Rough Cut Project Interests/Teams for Fall 2014: Dr. Jensen needs a rough cut plan for the senior design teams by 5:00 PM today! E-mail will work for this – let me know your preferred project and team members. BTW – This does NOT mean that this is the final team selection. ME students also have this 5:00 PM deadline, and some teams will not get enough interest, while others may have too many people. While the ME students will get assigned to a team, we will use this to decide if a team is viable – and if not, you will get to choose again.

They have re-striped the parking lot this evening, and the SMD spots have been shifted to the MIDDLE of the lot!

Please plan to staff your table during these times, if possible. Design Fair Setup/Tear Down: Dr. Jensen will have a pickup truck ready at 8 AM on Tuesday to help move the wheel chair and other booth materials to the Design Fair. He will also have the pickup truck back to the Design Fair at about 2 PM for loading out the materials at the end. This will include the three computer monitors

Some of these project descriptions will be available near the start of next week, and some projects may not meet the IE EM criteria for senior design. If you would like to work on one of these projects, please inform the IE EM course instructor, who will work with the IE EM faculty to assess the project for IE EM senior design credit. Please note, too, that you do NOT have to be enrolled/get senior design credit to join and work on some projects (ie. CAMP projects)
