materials have been produced butare often ignored or lost in a haphazard filing system over time. Individuals need different kindsof help to come up to speed and become active and competent team members, and the studentsoften don’t know how to provide the right kinds of support for one another. With deadlines inboth school and EWB, there is a constant danger of burn-out and a slow loss of members fromthe group.Participation in the Sustainable Solutions course has provided some common awareness andadditional motivation to help the EWB project succeed, as well as modeling a way to reflect onthe process and experience. Students who have worked on an aspect of the EWB project as a partof their capstone projects have benefited tremendously from the
