 My name is Cody Phillips, and I am a junior in electrical engineering here at Purdue. I've been a project manager with Epic's for five semesters now. I actually joined because I was reaching up to upperclassmen at the time, and someone said that Epic's would look out on a resume. So I joined it without even really knowing what it was, and it ended up becoming one of my favorite things here at Purdue. I initially did it for one year, but I realized after that two semesters that I needed to stick with it for longer. I'm able to help so many people, and I truly enjoy what I'm doing. Epic's has completely changed how I work on groups now at Purdue. As I get to be more of an upperclassmen in electrical engineering, a lot of my classes are lab-based and group-project-based. This really, really helps me to work as part of a team. As a junior in electrical engineering, I'm able to provide a lot of the more electrical concentration for my subteam and the team as a whole. I know when I was a freshman in Epic's, I certainly did not have that same knowledge that I do now. I know that now planning and organization are absolutely crucial to getting a project done on time and effectively. So a recent change is that a lot of engineering majors actually allow you to do Epic's for senior design. I know for me, I'm able to stick with Epic's and stick with a project that I love, but actually use it to fulfill a lot of the degree requirements for specifically electrical engineering, but I know a lot of other majors have the same system. Every interview that I have taken a part of in the past two and a half years has included a big discussion on Epic's. Most recruiters, they all know what Epic's is, and a lot of people actually have been a part of Epic's themselves. Being a part of Epic's has really helped me land my first real major job. Epic's is, to me at least, more than a class. It really allows me to be the best engineer that I can. It has allowed me to grow as a person and as a critical thinker, and I would really encourage anyone that is unsure of what they want to do to join Epic's. It will give you a path to follow.
