EPICS meaning in Community ?

Answer: What is Engineering Projects In Community Service mean?

Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) was founded in 1995 at Purdue University by Professors Edward Coyle and Leah Jamieson as a solution to two problems. First, many engineering graduates lacked real world skills need for project management, such as budgeting and scheduling. Second, many non-profit organizations did not have funding for needed professional engineering services to design displays and exhibits or keep relevant databases. The solution was to use the skills of undergraduate students through the curriculum to provide services to local non-profit organizations.

The program originally started as an educational program, and finds its roots in the concept of "service learning".

In liberal arts colleges, EPICS courses manage to encourage enrollment from students from outside the engineering program.
