EPICS Sp2020 - course evaluation and TA evaluation
by Dustker, Srinivas Mohan 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

Hi teams, I hope all of you are doing well and keeping safe. There are two evaluations for you to complete this semester (with respect to EPICS) and it should take about 10 minutes of your time. 1. Course evaluation - you should have received an email from 'Chantal Levesque-Bristol' to complete the course evaluation. This is one of the final delivery items - once you submit the evaluation, take a screenshot and send it to me via email. 2. TA evaluations - Here is the link <https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3OxnjsJPgiKAlzn> to evaluate me! I highly appreciate your feedback/comments. https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3OxnjsJPgiKAlzn You will be given time during the lab session to complete the evaluations as well. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Best of luck for the last week of classes!

EPICS Remote Review Etiquette Tips
by Pierce, Andrew L 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Hi all, With reviews starting tomorrow, I wanted to send a few pointers on your remote review: * Video should be shared from the active project team presenters only * Ask everyone to mute themselves if not speaking and turn off video unless presenting * Politely ask reviewers to mute when not asking questions * Introduce each project member before presenting * Ask reviewers to introduce themselves * Let reviewers know they can ask questions audibly at the end of each project or through the chat if they don't have a mic or don't want to speak * Some reviewers will have last second conflicts or technical troubles and won't make it in time. You may wait a few minutes to let them join, but out of respect for the time of those who are present, please start your presentations no more than five minutes after the scheduled start time. * Be sure to thank your reviewers after questions are finished * The reviewers will send their feedback to the EPICS office, and we will distribute it too you as soon as we can. Good luck with your presentations, Andrew Andrew Pierce EPICS Assistant Director Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering - Room 1209 701 West Stadium Avenue West Lafayette, IN 47907-2045 Email: pierce1(a)purdue.edu<mailto:pierce1@purdue.edu> Phone: (765) 414-2107 http://www.purdue.edu/epics

EPICS- Help Needed for Covid PPE Production Tomorrow (4/14)
by Pierce, Andrew L 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Hi all, Staff and faculty across Purdue have been working hard in our 'spare' time to develop and mass-produce PPE for hospitals around the state of Indiana. There is a volunteer opportunity tomorrow, April 14, to help with this effort. We need 2-4 people per shift, with shifts from 9am-noon and 1pm-4pm to help layout and cut fabric for hospital isolation gowns. No special skills are required, but experience with sewing wouldn't hurt. I know most of you have gone home, but if any of you are local to campus and would like to help, please contact Joan Goetz at jgoetz(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jgoetz@purdue.edu> or Kristofer Chang Alexander at kristofer(a)purdue.edu<mailto:kristofer@purdue.edu> ASAP.

EPICS Week 13 Announcements
by Pierce, Andrew L 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Hi all, The labs this week seem to be running better than last week, and I thank you all for your good attitudes. I don't want to swamp you with class announcements, but I wanted to take a minute to encourage you all to look after not only your physical health during this strange time, but to take a holistic approach to your well-being. If you are struggling with mental health, family situation, financial stress, or whatever else may be weighing on you, please talk with someone and get some help. Many therapists are doing telemedicine, and that a great way to talk things over with a professional. You aren't alone, even if you are forced to be physically alone - many of your advisors and instructors are going through similar struggles and would be more than happy to lend an understanding ear. We miss you all. You can find great resources on many of these issues and answers to all of your covid questions at https://coronavirus.purdue.edu/students/. If you need anything, at any time, for any reason - feel free to reach out. One of my favorite songwriters, Mr. John Prine, has been in critical care for a week with the coronavirus, so I'm going to leave you with this this little clip of one of his songs from the Colbert Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XokTQSGNj3Q -Andrew Andrew Pierce EPICS Assistant Director Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering - Room 1209 701 West Stadium Avenue West Lafayette, IN 47907-2045 Email: pierce1(a)purdue.edu<mailto:pierce1@purdue.edu> Phone: (765) 414-2107 http://www.purdue.edu/epics
