 > You are cordially invited to attend *EPICS* *Expo (Engineering Projects
 > in Community Service) on the 18th of February, 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm,
 > to be held on the campus of San José State University.  This free event, to
 > be held in Student Union Ballroom ‘B,’ will offer food, soft drinks and
 > fellowship in a fun and interactive atmosphere.
 > 
 > *AGENDA*
 > 
 > 5:00 – 7:00 PM – Poster Session
 > 
 > 7:00 – 7:30 PM – Speakers

 > 
 > 8:15- 9:00 PM -- Networking
 > 
 > *EPICS Expo* is an intimate, *invitation-only *event to showcase
 > student-led, technological solutions-based projects, designed from the
 > engineering labs of San José State University (SJSU) and Santa Clara
 > University (SCU).
 > 
 > You have a unique opportunity to meet and speak one-on-one with event hosts
 > and the passionate students from both universities. The students, via
 > poster session, will display their projects and share their innovative
 > ideas on how to engineer a better tomorrow by providing technological
 > solutions today.  Many of the student-lead projects are designed to provide
 > engineering solutions to solve community challenges in San José and Santa
 > Clara.
 > 
 > *Our Hosts:*
 > 
 > ·         Dr. S.K. Ramesh, IEEE Fellow and Director of the AIMS Program at
 > CSU Northridge
 > 
 > ·         Dr. Jinny Rhee, Associate Dean of the Charles W. Davidson College
 > of Engineering at SJSU
 > 
 > ·         Dr. Jon C. Strauss, Interim Dean of the School of Engineering at
 > SCU
 > 
 > Every student group has a story to tell and an innovative solution to
 > share. Be part of the conversation.

 > 
 > *About EPICS in IEEE <https://epics.ieee.org/%20>*
 > 
 > Student success and advancing engineering education are at the core of
 > everything we do. By challenging students to explore engineering concepts
 > and implement what they have learned in the classroom to improve their
 > communities, we are preparing the technologists, innovators and leaders of
 > tomorrow - today.
 > 
 > Our success can be attributed in large part to our volunteers’ commitment
 > to our core goal to improve the educational experience of engineering
 > students. EPICS in IEEE provides the framework and resources that challenge
 > students to take part in an active project-based learning experience, while
 > also broadening the perception of what students are capable of
 > accomplishing.
 > 
 > *About EPICS at San José State University <http://www.sjsu.edu/epics/>*
 > 
 > EPICS@SJSU is a service-learning program in the Charles W. Davidson College
 > of Engineering at SJSU. Multidisciplinary teams of students serve local
 > community partners by designing and building custom engineering solutions.
 > Our overall goals focus on:
 > 
 > ·         *High quality education* - Service-learning is recognized as a
 > high-impact educational practice that attracts underrepresented groups to
 > science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), enriches traditional STEM
 > education, and provides valuable professional development through
 > real-world projects.
 > 
 > ·         *Community impact – *Local community organizations identify
 > problems that the students address, and they work directly with the
 > students through the design cycle.  Topics we address include homelessness,
 > urban agriculture, environmental conservation and urban planning.
 > 
 > ·         *Wider STEM culture –* We want to create a culture that supports
 > and encourages engineers and other STEM professionals to recognize the
 > importance of service and strengthening their local communities.  We
 > provide mentorship opportunities for professional engineers, and also do
 > demonstrations within local elementary schools to show younger students how
 > STEM supports their communities.
 > 
 > *About Santa Clara University and the Frugal Innovation Hub
 > <https://www.scu.edu/engineering/labs--research/labs/frugal-innovation-hub/>*
 > 
 > Sponsored by the School of Engineering, the Frugal Innovation Hub (FIH)
 > mission is to engage students and faculty in humanitarian and sustainable
 > projects through partnerships and programs.
 > 
 > FIH act as liaisons between engineering students, faculty, and
 > organizations to solve humanitarian problems and as facilitators between
 > the students and their clients to ensure that deliverables are met.
 > 
 > *In the event you cannot attend the EXPO, please contribute in support of
 > the local EPICS in IEEE program
