EPICS: Learning Design Through Service-Learning William Oakes, P.E. Director

(Engineering) students need more than technical knowledge to succeed: teamwork, communication, customer-awareness, project management, leadership, ethics, professionalism Community-service and education organizations need access to technical expertise that is normally prohibitively expensive: improved, enhanced, and new services Motivation: The EPICS Partnership Service-Learning

Example EPICS Projects The EnvironmentEducation & Outreach Human ServicesAccess and Abilities

EPICS Projects: Education & Outreach Projects with local museums:  Hands-on science exhibits  Power systems  Virtual reality history tour  Museum climate monitoring system  Interactive zoo designs Partnerships with local K- 12 schools K-12 outreach projects Technology & girls Technology-assisted job training Affordable designs

EPICS Projects: Human Services Habitat for Humanity  Sustainable designs for new homes  Energy analyses  Web-based home selection guide  Construction tools Information management for homelessness prevention  IT support for not-for-profits Alternative Energy  Underserved populations

EPICS Projects: Access & Abilities Campus Accessibility  Remote note taking  Moveable bookshelf  Campus transportation Communication Devices  Apps for communcation Complex play environments for young children with physical disabilities Multimedia systems to stimulate speech in developmentally delayed children

EPICS Projects: Environmental Constructed Wetland  Demonstration of technology  Educational facility Campus Sustainability Water Conservation Recycling (New Zealand)  Processing waste glass into sand for use in construction materials  Conversion of waste cooking oil to bio-diesel as an alternative fuel

EPICS Decouples Timescales Student Learning Semester/Quarter Project Semester/Quarter Student Learning Project Community Receives Long-Term Support They Need

EPICS Characteristics Long term projects:  Long-term partnerships with community organizations no charge to partners  Multi-semester design experience: academic credit  Team-based design experience multidisciplinary (Purdue:70+ majors)  Vertically-integrated teams: first-year to fourth year Open-ended design: define-design-build-test-deploy-support EPICS teams can tackle projects of significant size, scope, and impact
