On February 20, 2005, the National Academy of Engineering recognized the achievements of the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program with the Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education. As its founders and directors, we were commended “For innovations in the education of tomorrow’s engineering leaders by developing and disseminating the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program.” We are very proud that our program has been honored with this prestigious award. We hope the attention it focuses on the program highlights the ways that long-term, for-credit projects in the community provide the time and context for experiences that enable our students to: ● develop technical depth and multi-disciplinary breadth; ● experience start-to-finish design; ● acquire and hone many professional skills; ● create products that have a significant impact on their community; and ● grow as individuals, engineers, and citizens. These benefits of EPICS were outcomes that the engineering education community was seeking in the early 1990s [1–4]. We believe integrating time and context into other aspects of the curriculum will lead to further innovations that provide outcomes that the engineering education community seeks for the coming decades [5, 6].
