EP Discussion

Why separate?

• main source of funding

• iprops not given to clubs

• rocketry funds?

  • no because research groups get funding through grant writing

  • teaches members to write proposals for projects

• ep is unrelated to rocketry

  • detached from what rose rocketry does

  • different requirements and liabilities

  • different procedures and proceses

  • feels unnecessary

• no interest from the ep community to participate in rocketry

• not really an overlap in membership

  • spoken about it individually

  • “we’re in a grey zone”

• dont see why being together is necessary

  • more beneficial to have different clubs

  • hat if a member has a problem with that organization?

• whole group is project

• trying to foster community within ep group

• longevitiy

  • ep dies after 2 year

  • records and documentation is still there

  • massive liability

  • longeviity needs to be self sustained within the ep group

  • dont want to go back into rocketry

    • big organizations are

    • resolution

    • ep has its own way of doing things

    • support from rose hulman faculty

• shpe and sasa analogy

  • do different things

• shared knowledge

  • scope for future?
