Engineering, Gannon University, Erie, PAAbstract - In response to a joint UN/IEEE Humanitarian Technology Challenge SustainableDevelopment Goal to achieve food security, students were tasked to design and build a solar-powered food dehydrator that could be built on-location with minimal resources other than theprimary building materials. Materials and construction techniques not anticipated to be native tothe region were excluded from the design. The project was targeted for implementation inregions of emerging development with unstable food supply and simultaneously lackinginfrastructure, including access to electrical power. In practice, using a food dehydrator makes itpossible to store summer-grown fruits and vegetables for consumption at a later

In her research, she focuses on STEM identity (one’s belief that they fit the perception of a scientist and can be successful in their chosen field). Her research has been presented at national conferences and in international journals. She has been a part of the panel discussion of the American Association of University Women’s Solving the Equation report (2015) and recently the SciGirls national program’s redesign of their strategies for engaging girls in STEM. In addition to her work at the MagLab she also served on multiple boards and advisory com- missions
