| EPICS (Engineering Projects In
Community Service) started at Penn State in Spring 2001. Through EPICS,
the specific problem (and need for a solution) is identified by local
non-profit organizations. Based on the problem, an EPICS team designs,
builds, and delivers a working solution to the non-profit group. There
are little or no monetary costs to the non-profit group - only a time
commitment to consult with the EPICS Engineering Team (students plus
faculty member). Currently, material costs are covered by a grant from
Purdue University's EPICS program |
