Iridium’s Collaborative Efforts with Arizona State University’s Engineering Projects in Community Service Program (EPICS) The Engineering Projects in Community Service program, known as EPICS, is a national award-winning social entrepreneurship program that enables ASU students to design, build and deploy systems to solve engineering-based problems for charities, schools, and other not-for-profit organizations. These ASU students seek to solve problems on a global scale and explore ways they can solve technical challenges to make the world a better place. Iridium and the team at the Iridium Technical Support Center (TSC) in Chandler, Arizona have been working closely with the EPICS team to support their various projects.
