Get Involved
Make the most of your experience at Boston University! If you are a member of the BU community, you can come into EPIC and learn how to turn your ideas into real products. The first step is to take the Online Safety Quiz. You do not have to major in Engineering or know anything about the equipment to come in and get started.
After you pass the test, you can
- Get help on a class project from reviewing your drawings to making your parts.
- Come in and build one of the projects we have designed to teach you the equipment. Build a maze or a holiday ornament.
- Join a club that uses EPIC such as the BU Rocket Club.
- Come to a club-sponsored event through the year such as SWE or NSBE.
- Set up time with our staff or student workers to learn about EPIC and try out some of the equipment.
- Attend a class on one or more of the manufacturing methods such as the laser cutter or 3D printers.
- Send a print to the 3D printers and get a part back.
- Come with an idea for a personal project, we’ll help you select the materials and refine your design.
- Build equipment for your research project.
- Attend a lecture from our industrial partners to learn more about careers in engineering.
- Come in and build a project.
