prototyping engineering designWhy EPICS?
Multidisciplinary teams use their technical skills and innovative ideas to design and implement solutions for organizations.
How does it work?
Students are in a 1 credit class where they learn engineering design to allow them to design, build and test prototypes. EPICS teams tackle all stages of the innovation process, from feasibility and planning through design and implementation.
What will you Get?
Team of 4-6 engineering graduate students (BS)
5 hours per week per student for 15 weeks
Projects continue semester to semester until the project is delivered. The average delivery of a final project is 3 semesters, with deliverables completed every semester.
What is your part?
4 meetings per semester to support their progression in the project
Detailed schematics, iterative prototyping, design review presentations, and detailed design document.

The best projects:
Non-business critical projects that allow students to explore a variety of solutions to solve the problem.
We have over 500 students across 70 projects working with non-profits across the US and in over 15 countries.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Are you a non-profit or social enterprise?
Is the project non-business critical? Typically our undergraduate students work 3-5 hours a week and it can take 1+ year for them to complete the project.
