Team Workspace

Safety Training for Team Workspace Assignment

Your team will be informed if you need to complete safety training. This determination is based on the anticipated needs of your project and space assignment. It is REQUIRED of all students working in the PRL or MSL, and it may be required in other spaces as well.

To complete Safety Training:

1. On about day three of class, each team will be given a folder containing a training checklist and a Proximity Access Permission form. If needed, a replacement copy can be obtained by contacting the Capstone office in 344 EB.
   

2. All team members must complete the online safety training listed on the form.

   • Go to http://training.byu.edu
     
   • Click Catalog, Engineering and Technology, Mechanical Engineering
     

   • Click PRL/MSL Safety Training Program. This includes 3 training modules:

     • Prototyping Lab Safety Training
       
     • Basic Safety Fire Extinguishers
       
     • Compressed Air Gun Safety
       
   • Take each of these training courses by clicking Enroll, then Start.
     
   • Retake any training course where your score is less than 90%.
     

3. All team members print a summarized transcript of their completed safety training as follows:

   • Go to http://training.byu.edu.
     
   • Click on Transcript.
     
   • Click the Print Transcript button.
     
   • Click the Print button, select the appropriate destination on the popup, and click Print.
     
4. Follow the remaining steps on the Proximity Access Permission form.
   
5. Once the form is completed and returned, proximity card access will be requested by the Capstone office and should be granted by the College of Engineering office within two business days after the request.

Team workspace will be assigned after completion of the required safety training.

Teams that require space to work on physical hardware will have an assigned workspace. This space will have a bench and some storage space for your hardware, but it will not be optimal for team meetings. It is up to your team to find locations for team meetings.

Teams that do not require space to work on physical hardware might not have an assigned team space. If you are not assigned a space and believe you need one, please contact your External Relations Manager.

Possible Assigned Spaces

• Most project assembly work will occur in these labs. Space assignments in other locations for projects with special needs can also be arranged.

• Work space, hand tools, and power tools are available in the PRL for Capstone use, whether your project space is in the PRL or elsewhere. Tools from the PRL must remain in the PRL. Tools for other areas are available from the ME Checkout room.

Team Meeting Space
Teams may meet in the EB team rooms, lobby areas of the CTB or CB, team workcells in CAEDM labs, room 230 CB, library study rooms, PRL workspace, or other areas decided with their coach.

The team rooms available in the EB can be scheduled through the college scheduling website at https://reserve.et.byu.edu

Department Conference Rooms
EB conference rooms can be scheduled on a limited basis and should only be used for occasional meetings (such as a special visit from sponsors). They should NOT be used on a weekly or a recurring basis, or for team meetings, regardless of sponsor attendance. Your External Relations Manager can schedule a conference room for you, if needed.
