The Dartmouth EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) program seeks to partner students and community agencies in significant projects requiring computer science and software engineering skills. We are following the model established by the successful EPICS program at Purdue University. At Dartmouth, EPICS was founded by Prof. Chris Bailey-Kellogg.

To date, Dartmouth EPICS has established the following partnerships (bold projects are underway):

• ValleyNet, started Spring 2010: EPICS + ValleyNet
• Vital Communities, started Spring 2010: EPICS + VComm
• Upper Valley Haven, started Fall 2009: EPICS + UVH
• Upper Valley Business Education Partnership, started Spring 2008: EPICS + UVBEP
• Upper Valley Humane Society, started Winter 2008: EPICS + UVHS
• Upper Valley Trails Alliance, started Winter 2008: EPICS + UVTA
• High Horses, Fall 2006 - Winter 2008: EPICS + High Horses
• David's House, Spring 2006 - Winter 2008: EPICS + David's House
• Upper Valley Habitat for Humanity, started Winter 2006: EPICS + UVHFH
• Norris Cotton Cancer Center, started Spring 2006: EPICS + NCCC
• Montshire Museum of Science, started Fall 2005: EPICS + Montshire

Interested agencies are encouraged learn more about EPICS and contact Sean Smith with ideas, questions, or suggestions.

A series of sessions at the 2006 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing engaged participants in computing and community. A design exercise featured the High Horses partnership, using a video interview with Executive Director Liz Claud to brainstorm about computing solutions to community problems. The video is on the High Horses partnership page.
