Yesterday we took our usual Wednesday trip to ICC. Erin, Christy, and Bri were at Timberlake Lodge for the Women In Engineering day. The rest of the IRE students were at ICC with the goal of constructing some shelves and work benches. These were designed to be placed inside the IRE and ICC trailers, but also be removable when not needed. In the front end of the IRE trailer we built a permanent twelve space shelving unit. The sides of the trailer also received a removable work bench with storage underneath, and some removable utility shelves on the other side. For the ICC trailer, we built a permanent work bench up front, and two rows of removable shelves on one side. Construction was mostly completed yesterday, with only a few finishing touches to be made next Wednesday. Getting started was slow moving for a while because we had ten engineers that wanted to do it their own way. Although, it wasn’t long before we all came to a consensus on a final design plan. Then, the shelves were built and installed without hesitation. Photos from the first day of construction can be found below, on this blog.
