takes people working together, using skills such as communication, collaboration, and creativity to apply technical solutions to community challenges.</p> <p>Unfortunately, engineering students don’t have enough opportunities to foster those critical soft skills in real-world settings before entering the workforce.</p> <p> That’s why EPICS champions a unique, service-learning approach to engineering education that focuses on hands-on experience and holistic skill development. Students collaborate with IEEE engineering professionals on community enhancement projects to design, build, and deploy sustainable solutions. In the process, they develop highly sought-after skills such as project management, leadership, teamwork, communication, and decision-making.</p> <p>The result is young engineers well-equipped for the workforce and a community transformed by the power of technology.</p></div> </div><div class="et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_4_wrapper et_pb_module dbdb-icon-on-right dbdb-icon-on-hover dbdb-has-custom-padding"> <a class="et_pb_button et_pb_button_4 et_hover_enabled et_pb_bg_layout_light" href="https://epics.ieee.org/about/">READ MORE</a> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="et_pb_section et_pb_section_4 et_section_regular" > <div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_4 et_animated"> <div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_pb_column_7 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough"> <div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"> <div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>FEATURED PROJECTS</p></div> </div> </div><div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_pb_column_8 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child"> <div class="et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"> <div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>Global Reach, Local Impact</h2> <p>Wherever you are, you can make an impact in your community.
