Theprojects were chosen to fit into the following four tracks: education outreach, communityservice, appropriate technology for overseas, and assistive technologies. There were two facultyadvisers: one responsible for three groups and the other for four groups.In order to track the progress of a groups’ effort, documentation from EPICS was used withlimited editing.
