Learner goals and capabilities

Why EPICS?

Community organizations need technical expertise. Engineering students need practical, hands-on experience before entering the workforce.

Through EPICS, multidisciplinary teams of recently graduated master engineering students use their technical skills and innovative ideas to design and implement solutions for organizations in our community and around the world.

How does it work?

EPICS teams tackle all stages of the innovation process, from feasibility and planning through design and implementation. The expectation that their designs will be deployed and used provides a compelling learning environment.

Organizations gain valuable help that might otherwise be impossible to afford, furthering your efforts without detracting from the mission.
