Important EPICS Week 6 Announcements Students - there are many extracurricular opportunities coming up this semester as described below. Reach out to your advisors to see if they would be an appropriate PDH for your team. You can submit the Advisor Approved Activity Form<https://sharepoint.ecn.purdue.edu/epics/teams/Public%20Documents/Advisor_approved_activity_credit.doc> to get credit. Also, skill sessions have booked quickly this semester, but we will offer additional sessions in the second half of the semester. Let your TA know if you have requests for specific topics. Best, Andrew ________________________________ Design Documents - Due on 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 - Feb 19-22 * Dress code is business casual or better. * Plan to use the podium PC, not your personal laptop.
