If this doesn't work: who runs the club on paper? Who's most connected to the school / part of the faculty? Go to them, get things fixed, and if you have to create constitution that doesn't allow for things like this to happen.

Sorry you're having problems with Coach Z.
Thanks for your input, Connor. Time constraints are OK with me, since most likely, they will end up being extended anyways. However, what is really catching me is that we are being lectured rather than having a hands-on experience, like we usually did. Coach Z is focusing much more on CAD and actual engineering concepts rather than team bonding and community outreach/sponsorship than usual. Besides all the things I listed in my original post, there are some other things that Coach Z has done that we approve at all.
