[Ewb-list] Project Team: Preparation for Wednesday meeting
by Michael J Frank 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Hello Project Team (i.e. everyone in EWB-Purdue), This week we start getting serious about the documentation for the assessment trip. To facilitate easy access for all members, we are keeping relevant documents in a Dropbox folder. The log-in information is: E-mail: ewbpurdue7(a)gmail.com Password: engineers2010 The Dropbox has three main sections: "HASP" folder "Old Bolivia Documents" folder The remaining home page documents In the home page, you will find: -'501...': the application made by the Uganda group -'521-Instructions...': instructions for completing the 521 document (Pre-assessment planning) -'521-Template': What will become our formal 521 report '803...': the EWB review document of the Uganda application (see the end of document for the e-mail by Ryan Luckie who wrote the Uganda application). In the "HASP" folder are all documents related to the "Health and Safety Program." Form 600 is the most important and incorporates the other documents. In the "Old Bolivia Documents" folder are example documents from past projects. For this Wednesday, we want all interested project members to look over these documents. Become familiar with what they are asking and what we need to complete. To learn more about the community, please review the 501 and 803 documents, along with any general research on Uganda. For those interested in writing, look at "EWB-Form Task Areas_2" which breaks down the document sections that need completing. Sections are divided into "General" member completion, "Team" specific completion, and sections needing input from "Daudi." See everyone Wednesday, Michael J. Frank ---------------- Purdue University School of Mechanical Engineering
