Hello EPICS Students, I wanted to reach out on two issues around Professional Development Hours (PDHs): 1) There seems to be a lot of confusion around PDHs for first-time students, especially those in the first year learning community. Unlike previous years, the PDHs will not be covered in ENGR 133 for learning community students, with the exception of the wallet exercise. All first-time students will need to complete their introductory PDHs in MyEPICS. See the PDH Menu<https://sharepoint.ecn.purdue.edu/epics/teams/Public%20Documents/PDH%20Menu.pdf?_ga=2.187463083.2035430074.1568032311-693361272.1546532058> on the EPICS website for details. 2) Many of the PDH events in MyEPICS have had very few students registering relative to past semesters. Please be sure you are proactive about signing up and attending PDHs, as most of the opportunities are earlier in the semester so that you have time to apply the information. Attempting to complete all of your PDHs at the end of the semester is a bad idea. Please let me know if you have any further questions, Andrew Andrew Pierce EPICS Academic Administrator Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering - Room 1209 701 West Stadium Avenue West Lafayette, IN 47907-2045 Email: pierce1@purdue.edu<mailto:pierce1@purdue.edu> Phone: (765) 414-2107 http://www.purdue.edu/epics
