8:11PEPICSUTD has a program that allows undergrads to work on "real world" problems. The students will be working on a "makerspace module" to handle calendaring, payments, access control, etc. EPICS works only with non-profits, and this project will likely involve more than the original students assigned to the project, and possibly take place over several semesters/years.
