2008 – 2009 Planned Expenditures
Planned Expenditures for Academic Year: 2008 - 2009
~$9400.00
Parts Bin: ~$1500.00 Lab I/Lab II Kits (plus spare parts) ~$400.00 IEEE T-shirts
Circuit Design Team: ~$500.00 (Includes parts and travel accommodations)
Robotics Team: ~$1000.00 (Includes parts and electronics)
2008 – 2009 Planned Expenditures
General Meetings: ~$500.00 (Refreshments and Snacks offered)
Office Supplies: ~$500.00
R5 Competition Trip: ~$3000.00
UTSA IEEE Scholarship: ~$1500.00
Miscellaneous Tours, Fundraisers & Competitions:
~$500.00Notable Changes: We have decided to increase spending on more educational type resources, such as the tutoring lab, robotics and circuit-design teams as well as more tours mostly to increase interest amongst the student body not only in our organization, but also in the field of Electrical Engineering
2007-08 Summary
Meetings Few Guest Speakers Overall attendance increased Officer Elections
Region 5 Competition: Received donations from EE Dept. and faculty Robotics Team
Scheduled Meetings and practices Attendance increase particularly in underclassmen Placed 2nd overall
Activities: Collaborated with MAES and all other engineering organizations for
AT&T Tech Day Hosted IEEE Computer Society Meeting Collaborated with ASCE for paintballing Video game drive for overseas troops $1,000 Scholarship Collaborated with Dr. Chen to start EE Student Council
Region 5 Conference
Robotics Team: Restructured, goal oriented, motivated RESULT: Placed 2nd overall OUTLOOK: A few will be graduated, but we
had many underclassman on the team, so they will serve as replacements
Circuit Design Team: RESULT: Unable to send a team this year PLAN: Will use same approach based on success of for the
Robotics Team. OUTLOOK: We intend to send a team this year
Student Paper: RESULT: She was unable to attend last year OUTLOOK: Promote and encourage student body
Fall 2008 Overlook
Scheduled General Meetings
Monthly Officer Meetings
Weekly Circuit Design Meetings
Weekly Robotics Meetings
Scheduled Status Reports and Practices of participants of paper competition
Officer Elections: December 5, 2008
General Meetings
Discuss upcoming events: Plan Tours Discuss Competitions Plan and Discuss Possible Fundraisers
One guest speaker will be present every other meeting to share their experience with engineering life
Provide food and refreshments
Open up the floor to hear suggestions from other members.
Upcoming Projects
Roadrunner DaysRegion 5 Conference
Robotics Team Circuit Design Team Paper Competition Leadership Conference SPAC
ToursFundraisers/Picnics
Roadrunner Days
IEEE will be present at Roadrunner Days; an assembly sponsored by UTSA for incoming underclassmen to allow them to experience college life as well as meet with the different organizations
IEEE will use this event with the goal to enhance interest of Electrical Engineering as well as our organization to the new students with the hope of increasing our members both in our IEEE branch as well as membership in our Robotics and Circuit Design Teams
We would hand out: fliers, t-shirts, pencils, show them robots and circuits our teams have built, talk about upcoming events, as well as on location registering to IEEE.
EE Student Council/Scholarship
First Time for BothEE Student Council
Representative for each class including IEEE, HKN, Faculty, and Dr. Chen
Scholarship $1500 Must be a EE declared major Our branch will pay their membership
fee for first year if aren’t so already
Issues
Region 5 Leg Work Budgeting errors Bad Planning
Reasons: A lot of us were new officers Transition stuff: office access, band acct. info.
Etc
OUTLOOK: We will learn from past struggles and move on
from there
Conclusion
Major success for Robotics Team at R5More funding will be put toward R5 CompetitionContinue ScholarshipPartake in more collaboration Projects:
With other on-campus Engineering Organizations With other IEEE Branches
