ENGR2210 - Principles of Engineering - Spring 2012

Budgeting

Money: Each project group will have a total project budget of $250 to cover the cost of materials, supplies, fabrication, and shipping. This limitation exists as an engineering constraint. Please stay to the budget.

Time: Ordering things takes time. Building things takes more time than you expect. The machine shop will not turn around a part in a few hours. Olin College does not usually reimburse for express shipping. Plan accordingly - order parts while you prototype, think ahead a couple weeks (or more!).
