Looking
for a way to connect Community-Engaged Learning and Engineering? We
are having a workshop at Purdue University. Please forward or attend
yourselves.
2018 Global EPICS
Symposium and Workshop
Sponsored
by the EPICS Program and EPICS in IEEE Invite
When:
June 11-15, 2018
Where:
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
Deadline is May 25, 2018
EPICS is
an engineering-based, service-learning approach to multi-disciplinary design
where student teams address needs within their local and global communities.
Founded at Purdue University, EPICS has been integrated into the curricula at
42 universities and colleges. EPICS in IEEE, a signature program of IEEE,
empowers students to work with local service organizations to apply technical
knowledge to implement solutions for a community’s unique challenges.
This
year’s gathering will bring together three groups for a synergistic set of
workshops, panel discussions and roundtables. These three groups are:
- New Faculty, instructors; staff professionals; IEEE
volunteers and members; industry partners and others interested in learning
about the EPICS model for Engineering/Computing-based Service-Learning and
Community Engagement
- Experienced EPICS leaders, faculty, instructors,
administrators, students and partners from the member institutions of the
EPICS Consortium
- International EPICS leaders, faculty, instructors,
administrators, students and partners, especially from India and
including our IUCEE-EPICS institution partners
