EPCS 12100 - First Year Participation In EPICS II
Credit Hours: 1.00. Together, Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) courses create a vertical project track under which students work in multidisciplinary teams on long-term engineering-based design projects. Projects of at least one year in duration are intended to solve real problems that are defined in consultation with customers from not-for-profit community and educational organizations. EPCS courses are open to students from all disciplines; each student contributes expertise in his/her academic discipline. Each team consists of a mix of first-year, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Students are encouraged to participate in an EPICS project for two or more semesters. First-year students participating in EPICS gain insight into the specific project, and more generally, into the design and development process. Under mentorship from upper-level students and instructors, they perform and report upon design tasks consistent with their level of discipline expertise.
