Welcome to STEP Engineering - home to all of STEP's crazy engineering projects.

You will be able to find all the information for the respective projects, including updates, pictures, specification documents, etc.

Current projects:

We're also always up for new suggestions for projects, so feel free to make suggestions and spearhead your idea!

We've got a nice big group of volunteers, so we expect to get a lot of stuff done.  You'll probably see us out and about on campus with our bike generators and solar barbecue throughout the summer.  =)

Workspace
Our work area for our hand's-on projects lie in the Energy Research Centre Building in the 3rd Floor Solar Thermal Laboratory. If you have no idea where this lab is, check this youtube clip - 

The solar thermal lab is open 9-5 every day. We also seem to do a lot of work in smaller groups / independently ... whatever works. The lab can be access off-hours through STEP's lab manager and our set of keys - currently Kevin Burt (S11). If you go there alone, please tell one of the profs with offices beside that you're working with STEP, so they don't send the dogs.

If you're looking to get involved or want to make some suggestions, feel free to contact one of the leaders listed at the general STEP homepage.

If you'd like to be added to the STEP engineering mailing list, send an email to     step-eng+subscribe "at"  googlegroups  "dot"  com

Workflow
- due to popular demand, our most recent up-to-date working files can be found on our STEP eng dropbox in the appropriate project folder. Finalized or critical design docs should be updated here to allow people to update themselves on the status of the project.

Winter 2009:

STEP organized a Wind Turbine Design Competition for the engineering first years.  Good times were had by all.
