EPICS Pre-Semester Announcements
by Pierce, Andrew L 15 Aug '20

15 Aug '20

Important EPICS Pre-Semester Announcements ________________________________ Welcome Students Welcome to the EPICS family new students, and welcome back to the returners! We are looking forward to see the impact you will make in the community through your work this semester. We know this fall will be unprecedented in many ways, but the excitement we feel to see your growth and the accomplishments you make this semester have carried us through the worries and the long days to get everything ready for your arrival, and we can't wait to get to work with you all. Whether you will be with us in-person in the EPICS labs or joining us remotely, we believe we have a set of community challenges that will inspire and challenge you. We hope that EPICS will become your second home, and that you get the opportunity to develop wonderful new relationships with your teammates, advisors, and with the EPICS staff. With that in mind, don't hesitate to reach out and contact us if we can be helpful in your transition back to class. There are a lot of changes this semester, so please pay careful attention to these and more upcoming announcements. ________________________________ Professional Development Hours (PDHs) * All students are required to complete five (5) PDHs per credit hour each semester. The PDHs replace traditional lecture in the EPICS program. The requirements are listed in the PDH Menu<https://purdue0.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/epics/EStO4BG8OEFApUOzfMkB03YBowLj7J8p…>. * Since there are so many changes this semester, both new and returning students will be required to complete the 'Intro to EPICS' PDH. * 'Intro to EPICS' will be live-streamed 3:30-4:20 PM Eastern Time on Monday, August 24, and will be recorded and posted to the EPICS YouTube Channel<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLss90sF9Utg3CoxTrbwZGg> for any students who can't attend live to review during the first week of classes. * To open the live-stream, use this link<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NzFmNTZiNzEtMmRmYi00…>. * All first time students will be required to complete the five Required PDH Series in Brightspace. * All returning and two-credit students will be required to submit a PDH Plan by the end of Week 2. * 'Intro to EPICS' should be included in all PDH plans. ________________________________ Lab Attendance * EPICS is a team oriented design course. Unexcused absence to lab will result in a steep penalty to your grade. * Attendance to all lab meetings can be in-person or virtual for each student. * If you need an excused absence, be sure to let your TA and advisor know in advance if possible. * Our goal is to ensure that students are participating fully, but we are understanding that situations arise and will work with you each on a case-by-case basis. * We will be as accommodating as possible for all students this semester, as we realize COVID may result in students who are ill, need to attend to ill family members, or other situations that are outside of the normal. Please communicate any need for accommodations with your advisor and TA. ________________________________ Grades * EPICS does not include exams, but instead grades are determined based on the artifacts you generate through a real design-project. * See the milestone schedule<https://purdue0.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/epics/Ea_bGrQGjxRHsZjuVNjwtdABy7jSd_Xx…> for due dates and details. * Midterm grades will be provided by week 7. * See https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/teams/team-documents/Grading for details. ________________________________ Lab COVID-19 Modifications * All EPICS students must comply with the requirements outlined in Protect Purdue<https://protect.purdue.edu/>, including the proper use of face masks at all time. * Week 1, Design Review labs, and all labs after Nov 20th will meet virtually only. * For all in-person labs, teams will meet one-project-at-a-time or equivalent to reduce classroom density. * The EPICS labs will be available on a restricted basis. Details will be shared prior to the first lab. ________________________________ EPICS Resources * Website: New students will want to become familiar with the EPICS website, where you will find the syllabus, lab and lecture schedule, assignments (milestones), and more.

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.
