EPICS - Engineering Projects in Community Service

Community service agencies face a future in which they must take advantage of technology to improve, coordinate, account for, and deliver the services they provide. They need the help of people with strong technical backgrounds. Undergraduate students face a future in which they will need more than solid expertise in their discipline to succeed. They will be expected to work with people of many different backgrounds to identify and achieve goals. They need educational experiences that can help them broaden their skills.

The challenge is to bring these two groups together in a mutually beneficial way.

In response to this challenge, Purdue University has created EPICS: Engineering Projects In Community Service.

The end result? Benefits to the students and to the community!

The approach Huron County schools will take in these first two years of involvement in EPICS is to host an individual project at each of the participating school districts. This project will be specifically targeted at addressing an issue or problem that exists in respective communities served by local districts in Huron County.

Here are the EPICS project proposals from schools participating in Huron County, viewable by selecting each school's hyperlink.
