[5] It offers students from multiple disciplines with the opportunity to be part of engineering project design teams that work with nonprofit community organizations.
The teams provide technological solutions to challenges faced by the community organizations and their target audiences.
Examples of EPICS projects include the Spanish In Action Project at Butler University, which provides students with a web-based computer game that helps them learn Spanish vocabulary; and the Sensor Network Air Pollution Monitoring project at Drexel University that allows measurement of diesel particulate concentration in Philadelphia's neighborhoods.
[6] For founding and administering EPICS, Jamieson has received in 2005 the Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology (with colleagues Edward J. Coyle and William C. Oakes).
In November 2005 Jamieson was elected 2006 President-elect by members of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Other notable developments during her presidency included expansion of IEEE's pre-university engineering education programs[9] and reorganization of the IEEE Regional Activities Board (renamed Member and Geographical Activities Board).
