Volunteer
Develop Innovative Solutions that Change Lives
Improve communities through the power of engineering
You have the knowledge to solve problems, the skills to develop solutions, and the passion to help communities. It’s the perfect combination to impact lives through service-learning engineering projects.
IEEE volunteers and student members are essential to the success of EPICS projects. They are not only the brains, but also the heart behind every project that brings sustainable change to communities. Whether it’s developing apps to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, creating solutions to environmental issues, or improving education for K-12 children, volunteers like you are changing lives through the power of technology.
We support the projects through funding, mentorship, and global recognition.
IEEE volunteers:
- Lead students in hands-on projects
- Make a sustainable impact on a community level
- Improve STEM education in local schools
- Receive global recognition for projects
Students:
- Develop project management, technical, teamwork, and leadership skills
- Receive mentoring from engineering professionals
- Make a sustainable impact on a community level
- Receive global recognition for your project
Mentors
Industry professionals can play a critical role in the success of a service learning project. By sharing your experience in technical design, professionalism, client/stakeholder relations, and/or project management, you can mentor a student-based EPICS team and increase the likelihood of successful community-based project deployment. With projects that potentially impact tens of thousands of individuals, your time and expertise can have a huge impact!
