EPICS Gold: EPICS in Action

Catalog description

Second of a sequence of two one-credit service-learning courses in which Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) teams are formed from students potentially representing all engineering, computer science and construction disciplines as well as other ASU majors, including sustainability, business, liberal arts, sciences and others. Groups of 4-5 students in this class work together to develop design solutions for representatives of community partners. The students are expected to continue their prior work in designing engineering solutions that solve problems and benefit clients and often, the larger community. Interdisciplinary group interaction is an integral element for the project success. Students may be continuing a project from a previous FSE 104 or FSE 404 class, or they are invited to begin work on a new project. Encourages student participation for multiple consecutive semesters on a project. Groups are composed of freshmen through seniors.
