The Call for Proposals supporting experiential learning in Fall 2024 undergraduate courses has now closed.  Please check back for announcements about future calls. 

EPIC’s cooperating organizations aspire to provide integrated experiential learning through hands-on exposure to research practices, emerging technologies, design thinking, interdisciplinary experiences, and innovative problem-solving.

We welcome students, faculty, staff, and community partners to learn more, and to share how we may best support your needs in an ever-changing world.

“When people from disparate fields work together, they advance knowledge and practice. And when today’s students become tomorrow’s teachers, researchers, and professionals, the total effect is that a given field–be it engineering or music or gaming or medicine–matures and transforms as new perspectives are taken into account.”
