Part Ordering
Each year the club sets aside funding for members’ personal projects. Read the guidelines below before you request parts.
Guidelines
- No single off-the-shelf products. We fund projects built from basic components, not finished products. Asking us to buy a pre-built product is like asking for a pre-built PC instead of building one, and we won’t buy the components to assemble one either.
- Buy through E-Shop. E-Shop is our preferred way to order. Find the cheapest option across E-Shop vendors such as Amazon, DigiKey, McMaster, Newegg, B&H and W.B. Mason. Items outside E-Shop can be bought through the ECE department, but they need extra approval and take longer. If an e-board member asks, be ready to explain why you chose a more expensive or non-E-Shop part.
- Orders over about $100 need a video. At the end of the project, submit a video of at least 5 minutes explaining and demonstrating it. Projects must be finished by the end of the academic year (summer purchases roll over to the next year). We’ll check in on your progress, and we may use the video to promote the club. It’s also a great way to show your work to interviewers.
- Personal projects only. Club funds can’t be used for classes, research or project teams. Questions? Ask a current officer.

Picking up parts
When you get an email saying your parts arrived, they’ll be waiting for you in a cubby in the lab.
