Welcome! We are the Purdue EPICS Habitat for Humanity Team.

Working Towards a Brighter Future

Our Projects

We have been working with Habitat since 1996 to create equal opportunities for everyone by building homes and communities to help those in need get out of the poverty cycle. In Reynolds, known as BioTown, IN, the EPICS HFH team and Habitat helped the community become energy self-sufficient "by converting agricultural products and byproducts into sustainable energy sources." In 2010, we followed up with seminars to help others do the same. Now in 2022, we are continuing on this path of service through our new projects, Electrical Pole Storage and Concrete Blanket Storage.

“Engineering is not just about thinking about ways to solve a problem. It's about doing: testing, delivering, and getting feedback. You can't do this in a classroom with imaginary problems and imaginary clients.”

About Us

EPICS

EPICS (Engineering Projects In Community Service) takes current engineering students and puts them straight in the line of fire. It was born to meet the needs of Purdue's highly driven yet compassionate engineers who wanted to become more well-rounded workers while giving back to those who can't afford to get professional engineering design services.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. HFH creates opportunities for all people to live in decent, durable shelter and builds, renovate or preserve homes to accelerate and broaden access to affordable housing as a foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty.
