3D printing request
by Martinez, Jorge L 21 Oct '19

21 Oct '19

EPICS students, In an effort to make easier and more transparent the queue for the 3D printers, we have changed the form to request 3D prints. You can access the form by visiting the EPICS at Purdue website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/purdue/resources/print-3d) or the form itself (https://tinyurl.com/epics3d) We have also moved the queue to an online spreadsheet, which is auto-filled by your requests. We will be testing the online queue for the next few days, and once it is proven to work well, we will post it online, so you can follow the progress of your requests. Please let me know if you experience any issues or if you have any questions. Thanks, Jorge Martinez EPICS Lab Manager Purdue University | Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering - Room 1210 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

EPICS Week 10 Announcements

Important EPICS Week 10 Announcements ________________________________ [cid:image005.png@01D585C3.B5933CA0]Spotlight on: Risk Analysis As your team progresses through the design process, it is important to consider the risks of your project. While industry teams may focus on many types of risk, such as business or operational risks, student teams tend to focus primarily on safety risks in the context of design. One of the most common methods of assessing design risks is the Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (dFMEA). 'Failure modes' refers to the ways or modes that the design might fail, where 'Effects analysis' is an evaluation of the immediate consequences of those failures. In performing a systematic review of risks, teams should work through each element of their project and use environment and as a team consider what could go wrong. Each of these failure modes can then be scored on their relative severity, likelihood, and detectability to obtain a risk score. Teams should then design around the high risk items to reduce their risk to an acceptable level before proceeding with project delivery. For more information, reference: Description: https://asq.org/quality-resources/fmea Template: https://asq.org/-/media/public/learn-about-quality/data-collection-analysis… ________________________________ Student-Driven Recruiting - Attention Communication Officers - Due Oct 25 * All teams are expected to generate a 'help wanted' poster to recruit for your team. * This effort should be led by the Communication Officer and Project Manager. * A template is attached, but it can be altered or replaced to suit your team. * A PDF of the posters are due to the EPICS office by close of business Oct 25. * Communications Officers will be asked to post the flyers in the appropriate buildings following approval from the EPICS staff. ________________________________ Karthick Shankar Honored at Homecoming We are proud that one of our undergraduate TAs, Karthick Shankar, was awarded the Pillars of Excellency during last week's Homecoming game.

I’m baffled why this was not part of the design review discussion. It would be a huge problem if the grant didn’t get resubmitted. I think this is the contact.

The grant application is due tonight, and the application requires the contact information of the faculty member supervising the BITS Pilani team. However, while Mrigank has messaged the BITS Pilani team multiple times asking for such information, the only response they have offered is that they have sent the contact information to you. We wanted to check if you had the relevant information. If not, due to this lack of cooperation we have seen on this front from our BITS Pilani counterparts, the team has decided that, barring any additional progress, the grant should be pursued at a future point in time rather than this semester. Sincerely, Vivek Talapaneni

This is for your kind information that I am working in the same area for the last 24 years. Students have collected the samples from Bhass Village and analysed the samples in the laboratory. This is for your kind information that Fluoride and Total Dissolved solids are beyond the limits of potable water. Students are working in the laboratory and want to develop low cost potable water filter to be used by the community. This requires funding for R&D work and installation of equipment at Bhass Village. Please suggest the procedure to procure funding for the above scheme.
