EPICS INDIA Mid-Semester Deliverables
by Constantine J Roros 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hello INDIA Team, There are few items that you need to submit after you present tomorrow: 1. Individual Evaluation Rubrics (IER) - We would like you to evaluate your time in EPICS so far, so please fill out this form and email it to me by 11:59PM October 6th. You can find it here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/purdue/team-documents/ier . Choose the document that matches your course number and fill it out. The focus should be on your self-assessment of the outcomes, justification of that assessment with evidence, and, if completing 2-credits, explanation of work beyond the 1 credit hour students. 2. Peer Evaluations - These can be found on myEpics in its own section complete with instructions. At the very least, fill out peer reviews for people on your sub-team. This is due 11:59PM October 6th. 3. Design leads from each sub-team should fill out the project evaluation rubric found on the left hand side of the link in #1 and email them to me. 4. Electronic notebooks should be ready for me to look at by 11:59PM October 6th. That means by Saturday you need to put your reflections and any work and accomplishments that indicate your effort thus far. Let me know if you have any questions or if you think you will have trouble meeting these deadlines. Good luck tomorrow! Constantine

EPICS Design Reviews
by Pierce, Andrew L 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Hello students, A few notes going into this week's design reviews: 1) Parking Passes for Guests: If you have invited project partners, reviewers, or other guests who need parking passes and you have not already alerted the EPICS office, you will need to stop in the office before your review to get a paper parking pass. You will need to provide Anna with the contact information of the guest, so please come prepared with their name, address, email, and phone number. You will need to have the guest pick up the pass from you before parking on campus. Purdue changed their parking pass system this semester, and electronic passes are no longer available. 2) Limited Office Support: Jorge and I will be out of the office for a conference Wednesday through Friday, and so will not be on hand to assist with technical difficulties during the review. Please see your TA first, and then Dr. Oakes if you need technical support. If issues occur, your TA may decide to forego the remote review and proceed with an in-person only review. 3) Professionalism: These are formal reviews, so please come dressed in at least business casual attire and conduct yourselves appropriately. 4) Housekeeping: The EPICS conference rooms are used a lot for practice during design review week, but there is no nightly janitorial service, so please leave the room in better condition than you found it for the next morning's reviews. Also, the labs tend to get very messy as teams finish last minute work. We have many guests during design review, and would appreciate your efforts to clean up after yourselves and leave the labs in a state you would be proud of.
