[Zaina Mae El-Demerdash]

Follow up to the email I sent on Sunday:


Upload your team's design document HERE<https://sharepoint.ecn.purdue.edu/epics/designreview/Friday/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fepics%2Fdesignreview%2FFriday%2FINDIA&FolderCTID=0x01200069B64DD4747FAB4885F7904E793C4248&View=%7B4C38B867-3221-434F-9F1B-2CBCBE6440B6%7D> by Friday so that design reviewers can look at them before design review!

Hey everyone -


Design review is in 2 weeks so this week is all about making progress with our projects!! We'll talk more about design review and mock presentations during lab this week, but in preparation, here's a reminder of this week's assignments.



Gantt Charts


As discussed, gantt charts layout your project timeline. For now, focus on including what you think your next steps will be.



Design Document


The design document is basically where you formally document your project progress and status. The reason they're due this week is so that design reviewers get a chance to read over them and get a sense of what we're doing before coming to design review. I attached the design doc template to this email and put a copy in the drive<https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1YOKKXR65QbWK_QbGM2zjREHart3WsQ4M> along with some samples from last year. I'll let you know later this week where exactly they need to be uploaded in order for the design reviewers to see them, but for now, upload it to our Sharepoint<https://purdue0.sharepoint.com/sites/epics/india/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?viewpath=%2Fsites%2Fepics%2Findia%2FShared%20Documents%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx&id=%2Fsites%2Fepics%2Findia%2FShared%20Documents%2FProject%20Documentation>.



Design Review Invitations


In order to get valuable feedback from design review, we need to invite people who we think could help us out. This could be your project partners (they can be remote reviewers and call in to the system), faculty doing related work, even other EPICS teams with similar projects. The goal is for each team to send out at least 2 - include a description of EPICS India and what design review is, the date/time (Oct. 5, 8:30am-10:20am) and location (ARMS 1101). If they say they can come, forward the email to Constantine so they can get all the official information and instructions. If they can't come — don't worry! We'll get a bunch of random reviewers assigned to us.



Mock Design Reviews


We're going to do mock design reviews next week, so try to start on your slides if you get a chance (there's a sample from last year in the drive<https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1I5dGruf41VvR3B7jHHiZM5g1uKTkhozL>). We'll do the same thing where I create a presentation and everyone adds their slides to it. Mock presentations will be October 1 - 3.



As always, don't forget to do PIGs (it's in the drive, make sure you edit the week 6 one!) and let me know if you have any questions!


Best,
