EPICS benefits everyone involved.” “I have learned that engineering includes more than theory, it includes teamwork, communication, organization and leadership.” “It made me understand how every aspect of engineering (design, implementation, team work, documentation) come together.” “No longer is engineering just a bunch of equations, now I see it as a means to help humankind.” “Opened my heart.” National Recognition William C. Oakes, Leah Jamieson and Edward J. Coyle Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education National Academy of Engineering 2005 https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS/About/ovpresentation.pdf Education Day, Imperial College: Radcliffe 7
