The NAE’s Engineering Grand Challenges directive has led to a renewed focus within engineering education on the connections between engineering and the well-being of society. The EPICS – Engineering Projects in Community Service – program, founded at Purdue and expanded worldwide through a partnership with IEEE, links universities and high schools with local and global community needs. EPICS enhances engineering learning, encourages diversity and serves as a platform for addressing some of our most pressing problems.
The Warren A. and Marjorie C. Minner Endowment for Engineering Ethics and Professional & Social Responsibility supports the College of Engineering in its mission to impart to its students the principles and foundations of ethical responsibility.
