As a result of a great deal of preliminary work by club members, a decision was made at the meeting of Sept. 21, 2007, to pursue a project of conversion of a TCC golf cart to solar power. A team was formed, headed by Aaron Bauldree.
The team's first meeting was Sat. Sept. 29. Here is a summary of the meeting, provided by Komlan Amesse.
*******
We met today at 11am at All Saints Cafe. Those present were Komlan Amesse, Ann Wolfgang, Giovanni Meritis, Aaron Bauldree and Ramonn Soto. This meeting is the kickoff of the project. We talked about all the physical constraints we will face and how to get the project done on time. The solar system we going to build is called Solar Assistant System. Aaron set up a forum web ( http://www.tccsolar.freeforums.org ) page where everyone can go and discuss the project. We assigned to ourselves a duty to research on the efficient solar panel to use. We also decided that it will be very nice to find a solar panel that we can display on Oct 03 at the TCC Spirit Day. (Do you know anyone that own solar panel that we can borrow and just display it for the event?) The meeting ended at 12:08.
*******
I encourage everyone to visit the forum.
If you would like to participate in this project, please contact Aaron via the forum. It is very easy to register and log in.

SUMMARY of SGA MEETING // 9-26-07
MIGUEL MARQUINA [MARQU977@tccemail.fl.edu]
Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 6:57 PM
To:
DOUG JONES
I wanted to report what happened at the SGA meeting today. I would also like for someone to send mass emails to everyone in the club that way we are all informed as a club. For anyone who is interested there are two major events going on.
The first is the relay for life, early registration begins Thursday, Sept27,2007. The ACS would like everyone to register by Oct23,2007 which they are offering any club to register before then to qualify to enter a drawing to cover all registration fees. If there are any further questions, contact Ms. Smith 850-321-5952.
The second is the Aids walk this will take place Oct 14,2007 at Tom Brown Park from 2-5:00pm and there will be a walk that will be 1.5 miles but it's not mandatory.
Next, I made it to the paper! My story and proposal is in the paper! It can be found in the Talon.
I have the registration papers for both events so let me know if anyone is interested or if we want to get known as a club.
Thank you and have a blessed day.

FSU Advising Day
Although I have not received an e-mail announcement, there are signs around campus stating that the FSU Advising Day will be this Wednesday, 26 September from 10 AM to 3 PM.
This is the easiest way to talk to an Engineering academic adviser about the timing of your transfer to the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. They can tell you what classes are likely to be offered in the spring, summer, and fall semesters at FSU and help you put together a plan that makes sense for you, possibly including dual enrollment during your last semester at TCC.
For example, a recent visiting alumnus told me how it worked with a spring start in mechanical engineering: you needed to take 11 hours of engineering classes in the summer (about like 13 hours in a regular semester) to be on track for the classes that start in the fall. A fall start had a much easier load, while a summer start is mostly limited to picking up non-sequence classes like basic circuits.

FAMU-FSU Engineering Day
George Heller says:
Thursday, September 20, is the "Engineering Day" career fair at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. This runs all day, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at the College of Engineering. Although the emphasis is on Juniors (for summer internships) and Seniors (for careers), other students can show up ... with their resume ... if interested in exploring summer job opportunities. (There are some companies willing to hire underclassmen.)

Visit by U of Florida Engineering
I have a confirmation that the UF engineering transfer advisor can travel to Tallahassee to meet with us during our regular meeting on Friday, November 16. Please put this date on your calendar.
I will contact the people at FSU to see if they can "compete" with UF that day for our 3rd annual Gator-Nole engineering advising meeting and keep you updated on my progress.
