engineering professionalswhile NGOs rely to a large extent upon technology to deliver, coordinate, account and improveservices they provide to the community6. It is thus important for the student engaged in acommunity project to first learn the needs of the community. Traditional design pedagogy pluscommunity service learning provide students complimentary vehicles in which to refine theirdesigns in ways that deepen their understanding and learning7, 8. Through the partnership withNGOs, the experiences enable students to create products that have a significant impact on thecommunity9. Engineering faculty need to understand the impact of capacity building of engineersin developing countries in order to positively guide engineering students interested

areapplied as a whole, they help students make connections and retain information [5]. In describingthe importance of contextual learning for engineers Palmer, Terenzini, Harper and Mersondiscuss the following areas where Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found value inproviding context, (1) to help learn the subject matter, (2) to motivate and engage students, (3) todevelop professional skills, and (4) to find technical solutions [6].Collaboration is seen as an essential component of the CTL system. Such collaborations can befostered between the school and businesses, non-profit organizations and the local community.When students are exposed to these partnerships and work with these groups it helps them tolearn to respect others, listen

industrypartners and student site visits were very helpful in delivering the course concepts to thestudents. It was important not to repeat material covered in the prerequisites but to build on theprerequisites as a means of determining best option based on economy, easy of construction andenvironmental issues.As engineering educators, faculty should not be afraid to introduce new courses or modify theexisting courses to reflect the ever changing technology and society needs.Bibliography 1.

designs without accountability for its structural integrity. Thecomplexity of component design for parametric structures is typically beyond the capability ofthe student. This is not a problem in reality, however, as architects collaborate with engineers insuch cases to design the details of the structure. Ove Arup and Bjorn Utzon collaborated fornearly three years to solve the problem of how to design the shells of the Sydney Opera House 2.Norman Foster and ARUP experimented with structure and form in the design of the Swiss REBuilding, London 7. In the design studio, students using digital technology to create complexcurvatures and indeterminate irregular structures need only understand the inherent nature of thestructure: how it will
