EPICS-Block 5

EPICS is a design-based, service learning program that teaches students about engineering, computing and technology fields while civically engaging them in their local communities.  EPICS was founded at Purdue University and can now be found nationally and internationally.  In EPICS, teams of students work on projects to address the engineering and technology-based needs of community service and education organizations.  Successful students in EPICS will be ready to apply their critical thinking skills to unfamiliar or new scenarios in the future.  Students will leave the class having first-hand experience with various hand, power and advanced technological tools in addition to the design and build process of engineering.
