Engineering Projects in Community (EPICS) was conceived and started in 1995 at Purdue University by Leah Jameson, IEEE president of 2007, and Edward J. Coyle. EPICS High's core focus is to engage high school students by connecting engineering and computing design to community needs. Such engagement provides students with an opportunity to experience volunteerism as well as a preview to potential careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The EPICS model is a form of service learning, a process of using experiences as a means of teaching. Inspired by the EPICS-High model, IEEE implementation of High School Projects in Community Service (EPICS), a.k.a. EPICS in IEEE, was proposed by IEEE in 2009, as a new initiative project. EPICS in IEEE adopted the model, employing University students to work with high school students on community service projects. EPICS in IEEE leverages its memberships by engaging IEEE student branch University groups around the world. This inclusion expands the program world wide, and brings the EPICS model to students and communities in all regions. This tutorial introduces and discusses a variety of projects undertaken by EPICS in IEEE throughout the world.

This webinar reveals how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can viably provide access to education, healthcare, agro-services or financial services to the billions of people living with less than a few dollars per day, also called the Base of the Pyramid. The webinar is based on a review of more than 280 initiatives found in developing countries worldwide. The webinar will provide insights to the 15 of the most ground breaking market-based business models with a proven scale and results on the ground, showing that ICT can be a lever improving the living standards of the BoP. The session will, however, also show that ICT is no silver bullet to development.

The International Energy Agency estimates that by 2030 still over 1.2 billion people worldwide will not have access to electricity. The vast majority lives in rural areas in developing countries, where the extension of the national grid is often not feasible. Consequently there is often no plan in place to give the rural population access to electricity, which is fundamental to an acceptable quality of life. e.quinox, a student led charitable organization at Imperial College London, has spent the last years developing and testing sustainable electrification solutions for these areas. e.quinox's model is based around central energy generation in an Energy Kiosk and decentralized distribution through Battery Boxes. Currently e.quinox is operating three Energy Kiosks in rural Rwanda, providing 400 households with access to electricity.
