. Page 25.1058.3Phase 1 (EPICS documentation)The Servant Engineering program began in the spring of 2010. At that time there were 39students, both sophomores and juniors, working on seven projects. The group size for eachproject ranged from 5-6 students and was purposely multi-disciplinary in their organization. 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. At the time of implementation, these resources involved a design
