Refresh Sched throughout the Competition to see any last-minute changes
Sponsors, faculty, and students must check in at registration in person at the workshop during one of our registration windows. If you can’t make one, please reach out to Organizers so we are aware you will be arriving at an off time.
We live off of Feedback - Please consider providing it for sessions in which you participate

Navigating Sched - General:

Use the Schedule feature and filters to sign up for relevant sessions.
Each training session is categorized by Type (i.e. Event, Presentation, Roundtable, Training - Swimlane Grouped, Training & Workshops - School Grouped)
- Event - These are required by everyone
- Presentations - Each team should have 6 graded events on their schedule.
  - For the Engineering presentations, the entire team is encouraged to be in the presentation and should sign up for their session (for headcount purposes). Teams may not attend other team’s presentations.
    - If the team wants to have virtual participation, the teams are required to set up a Teams meeting. Send the Thermal and Module meeting notice to Ravi, the SW meeting notice to Ajay Suresh, and the BDU training notice to David. The main presenter for the slides shall be in the room. Individuals on the call may only answer questions.
  - For PMAC 1, only your team PM and Voc-D can enter the assessment area. Other teams not listed in the timeslot may not attend to view.
  - For PMAC 2, your PM and designated SME will need to be seated at the table. Your team is permitted to spectate but from the back of the room. Other teams not listed in the timeslot may not attend to view.
- Training - Each team should determine which member goes to which session. All teams are required to have at least one member present for every session. All workshop attendees are required to attend on of the three trainings (or set up office hours with a sponsor).
In order to view your personalized schedule after signing up for classes: Hover over the profile picture and click "My Schedule".
Note: "All" shows all events under that category. Do not rely on this track filter to sign-up for sub-teams required trainings.

Hilton Greenville - Anderson & Spartanburg

In this session, we’ll walk through the full process of turning your Road Load Data Acquisition (RLDA) into a field-correlated random vibration test that accurately represents the End Use Environment (EUE) your product must endure. We’ll start with a refresher on gathering high-quality data, then focus on using ObserVIEW to generate a test profile. We’ll also cover key statistical concepts behind demonstrating reliability and meeting performance requirements.
