Re: Student presidents

When I was a Junior and Senior we had a similar setup. We had the President in charge of planning events, leading meetings, many other things that I can't seem to remember, and just being a great leader and role model in general. On the side of that we had the Engineering Director (my role) who would oversee the project of the robot during build season, making sure parts were bought, each subteam got it's jobs done on time to a prepared schedule, and that things were going smoothly. (I also was lead of electrical at the time so I balanced getting my own work done with making sure all the other things got done)
So essentially the big jobs were split between 2 people. I'd do lot's of work in Electrical, delegate a multitude of projects to others in Electrical, then walk around and check the status of other projects and report to our Leadership group in our weekly meeting. Which would then report to the whole team later in the day.

The hardest part of build season is having motivated students show up and get work done fast and solidly so that other jobs that are dependent don't fall behind as well (chaining and drive assembly waiting for welding, programming waiting for electrical, etc. etc.). Our team has gotten better and better at this thankfully.
