ED4C – Engineering Design for Community is inspired by EPICS – Engineering Projects in Community Service, an international community-based engineering education model founded at Purdue University, USA. 

Through this project-based model, students are able to:

• Identify a community problem, collect real community needs 

• Develop competencies in problem-solving, engineering design, creativity, prototyping, testing and iteration, collaboration, communication, user-centered thinking, and community responsibility. 

• Select and integrate appropriate tools, materials, and technologies to bring their solutions to life, rather than being restricted to any specific platform.
