Hey team!
You all crushed the design review (as always), but that doesn't mean the semester's over for EPICS yet. Here's a reminder of all the deliverables due by the end of next lab period (April 26, 2019 at 10:20am ET)!
Team documents
* Project Evaluation Rubric
* Email to Bharath with the subject INDIA_PER_INDIA_TeamName
* Transition document
* Template attached
* Add it to your design document and re-upload it to our Sharepoint
* Make sure everything is completely documented in the Google Drive and clearly organized. I will be saving a copy of the entire Drive on Sharepoint for future teams.
Individual documents
* Individual Evaluation Rubric<https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/purdue/team-documents/ier>
* Email to Bharath with the subject INDIA_IER_INDIA_FirstName_LastName
* Peer Evaluations (on myEPICS)
* Evaluate at least everyone in your sub-team + project manager
* Notebooks
* Work & Accomplishments updated
* Final reflection (instructions at the bottom of the page here<https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/purdue/individual-documents/reflections>)
Aim to have everything completed by the start of lab so that you can use the time to get feedback from Professor Oakes & Bharath. I also plan on cleaning out our locker during lab and could use some people to help out!
Let me know if you have any questions and see you next week!
Best,
Zaina
Dear EPICS students,
Congratulations on all the work done this semester. I trust you are receiving valuable input to move your projects forward and that the hard work is paying off with projects delivered or significant progress in the design process.
As you get to the end of the semester and work on your transition documents, please do not forget to identify your team's belongings and prototypes. Also, please discard (or identify) anything the team no longer needs.
With 40+ teams and 100+ projects, space is always a prime resource. During the summer months, the lab is usually reorganized to remove clutter and make room for new teams and projects. Clear identification of your items and disposal of non-necessary articles will help keeping track of your projects.
Thanks in advance for your help. Please see me if you have any questions.

A Few Midweek Reminders
________________________________
Design Documents - All should be turned in by the end of the day of your lab this week.
* A PDF of the design documents should be submitted by the end of day that your lab is held to give our design reviewers time to read them.
* You can continue to update and overwrite the document throughout the semester.
* Upload instructions: https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/teams/team-documents/design-doc-upload…
________________________________
Design Reviews - April 16-19
* Dress code is business casual or better.
* Plan to use the podium PC, not your personal laptop. Preferably bring your presentation on a flash drive.
* Do not log in/out of the podium PC with your personal account.
* Leave the GoToMeeting session on and do not adjust the screen sharing.
* Teams are responsible for inviting their community partners and any guest reviewers from on-campus (faculty, etc.).

Delivering this Semester?
If your team plans to deliver your project this semester, be sure to complete the EPICS delivery checklist. This includes projects that have final deliverables of non-tangible products (project plans, formal recommendations, etc). Find more information on the delivery process at https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/teams/team-documents/project-delivery. Remember, without a checklist, you will not receive an EPICS delivery t-shirt.
