Purchasing Parts and Materials

You may need to purchase parts and materials for your project with funds that are provided by (or by proxy through) the MAE department. Please review the MAE Purchasing Guidelines to learn how to do this.

Project Storage

We have a small space that is available for temporary storage of your project while you are working on it during the spring quarter. You can get access to this room, Bainer 1071A, by asking your TA for the keypad entry code. The following list shows the rules for the use of the space. Any abuse of these will cause all teams to lose access to the space.

• You should only request the key if you actually need storage space.
• Do not share the keypad entry key code. If you do, then you jeopardize the security people's projects.
• Do not work or hangout in the space. It is only for storage.
• Group your items into as few boxes as possible.
• Label all boxes and any freestanding items with a contact name and phone number.
• Keep the space tidy. In particular, there should be no tripping hazards in the center walkway.
• No chemicals, paint, glue, or any things that require SDS.
• All items must be removed from the room by Friday, June 10th or you risk an incomplete grade.
• The keypad entry code will be changed at the end of quarter.
