Transition Document uploaded to Semester Documentation * One per project/sub-team * One-page summary of your project * Major accomplishments this semester * Suggestions for future teams * Explanation of next steps for project 4. Documentation Upload * Please upload all necessary documents on SharePoint Project Documentation and Semester Documentation (EPICS SharePoint ONLY); i.e. if you have been using google drive, this is the time to move the most important items to the EPICS SharePoint. Make folders for your teams as appropriate. * If a document changes over time, like your Design Document, then probably it should be under a Project Documentation directory, for your project. If, on the other hand, it's a one-time document, like a presentation you will give on a certain date, or a version of your Design Document that you want to identify specifically as the result of this semester's work, then it would go under Semester Documentation. * Make sure the documents on SharePoint are well organized in a logical manner (folder organization) and their folder-name is referred to in your notebooks/IER. (PM, Design Leads, and Project Archivist(s) are responsible for making sure the files are in good shape.) * Use either folder/file name or location (link) * Please make sure all the documents are checked-in on SharePoint * If documents are checked-out, they are accessible only to the person who checked them out - Please check-in documents that you check-out (this does not happen automatically!) Fall semester documentation is really important because we need to keep the pace! Therefore, we carefully review your documents, and you will be evaluated by the way you have documented your projects. PM and DLs are playing an important role here to ease the transition process to the next team. Please work closely with your teammates to have a polished package for the next generation! Please let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns. Thank you, Kelsey Welch, E.I.T. Candidate for Masters of Science in Civil Engineering Structures EPICS Graduate Teaching Assistant

FW: Relocation of Design Build Lab
by Martinez, Jorge L 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

*** This message is being sent as a REMINDER, as it might have not been received by all EPICS students. *** From: Martinez, Jorge L Sent: Friday, November 17, 2017 2:11 PM Subject: Relocation of Design Build Lab Dear all, As you may have heard, EPICS is relocating its Design Build Lab from ARMS 1101 to ARMS B103, where the Artisan & Fabrication Lab (AFL) used to reside. After conversations with the building administration, the relocation has been scheduled for the week after Final Design Review (i.e., Dec 11 through Dec 15). Please be aware that during that time, there will be limited access to ARMS 1101, as EPICS staff will be working moving materials and equipment. Access to B103 will not begin until the 2018 Spring semester. I apologize for any inconveniences this change may cause, but it will allow EPICS to continue growing and provide additional tools for a safer environment. Please consider this relocation in your plans as you look to complete your deliverables this semester. Thanks, Jorge Martinez EPICS Lab Manager Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering - Room 1210 Purdue University 701 West Stadium Ave West Lafayette, IN 47907 +1 765 494 0629 +1 574 214 9450 (mobile) mart1419(a)purdue.edu<mailto:mart1419@purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS
