About EPICS

The Engineering Projects in Community Service program, known as EPICS, is a national award-winning social entrepreneurship program. Teams design, build and deploy systems to solve engineering-based problems for charities, schools and other not-for-profit organizations.

Partner with us

We look for projects where we can make a significant difference. In many cases, this leads to a longer term relationship with partner institutions.

EPICS Maroon

The EPICS Maroon Club is a community service club for ASU students that partners with the Valley of the Sun United Way, City of Phoenix and other organizations.

Why EPICS?

“I believe the knowledge I gain from EPICS cannot be met in any other class here on campus. I am working on problems within the community while gaining experience that I can carry with me after college.”
– Gabrielle Palermo, biomedical engineering

EPICS High School

Interest in civic engagement and community service is growing rapidly among teenage students. EPICS High is a service-learning program that engages students in engineering and technology concepts and connects them with organizations to fill much-needed technology-based solutions.

EPICS Gold

GOLD gives EPICS some Sun Devil Spirit as we send our student teams out into the world. The work of each EPICS team will be: green and Sustainable; original and creative; promote leadership development and teamwork; and be based on design and engineering fundamentals.
