Connecting Engineering to Community Service The mission of the EPICS in IEEE is to empower university students to work along with technical professionals and communities around the world to enhance their practical engineering skills and knowledge through service-learning experiences.
Technology can change the world, but it takes people working together, using skills such as communication, collaboration, and creativity to apply technical solutions to community challenges. Preparing the Next Generation of Engineers Engineering students often don’t have enough opportunities to foster those critical soft skills in real-world settings before entering the workforce.
That’s why EPICS champions a unique, service-learning approach to engineering education that focuses on hands-on experience and holistic skill development. Students collaborate with IEEE engineering professionals on community enhancement projects to design, build, and deploy sustainable solutions. In the process, they develop highly sought-after skills such as project management, leadership, teamwork, communication, and decision-making.
The result is young engineers well-equipped for the workforce and a community transformed by the power of technology. Global Reach, Local Impact Wherever you are, you can make an impact in your community. Here are some of our projects from around the world.
An AIoT-powered Smart Agricultural System for Pests Forecasting and Management Robotic Glove for Fine Motor Rehab Aural Rehabilitation for Children in Tamil Language Dealing with the real problems of deploying an engineering project is for sure something you do not learn in the classroom…. all the students participating in the project are facing new real situations, which are better preparing us to the job market.
I have been able to learn how to link-up and interact with communities successfully and how to get communities to appreciate, adopt, and utilize innovative communities for their benefit. I have also been able to widen my skills base in technology, management, and human relations. Small grants like EPICS in IEEE are an incredible resource for students and small teams.
The EPICS grant helped us get off the ground, and later lent an air of legitimacy to future grant applications and publications.
