The Engineering Projects in Community Service program, known as EPICS, is a national award-winning social entrepreneurship program. Teams design, build and deploy systems to solve engineering-based problems for charities, schools and other not-for-profit organizations. Our students aren’t waiting to graduate to make a difference—they are tackling real-world problems today.
There are several ways to get involved with EPICS – learn more about EPICS Courses, EPICS Global Intensive Experiences, and EPICS High.
Our projects focus on four themes
- Community Development
- Education
- Health
- Sustainability
