Professions. He and a team of ethicists have worked with different universities in the Latin American context on faculty development workshops for identifying issues in engineering ethics, developing course modules in this area, and designing curricular strategies for integrating ethics across the engineering curriculum. His publications cover moral psychology, moral pedagogy, and engineering ethics in Puerto Rico. Most recently, he has been working on the GREAT IDEA project, an NSF-funded project that explores research in appropriate technology and community development.Marcel J.

Paper ID #9309Bringing Healthcare to Rural Ghana: The Impact on EngineerinANDREA KUBICKI, The Pavlis Institute for Global Technological Leadership As a senior pre-medicine student at Michigan Technological University, I traveled to Ghana this summer through the Pavlis Institute for Global Technological Leadership. Before traveling, I worked with a team from the International Business Venture Enterprise and engineering senior design team to create a mobile health clinic. While in Ghana, my team introduced the mobile health clinic and went into the field to collect data on the use of the vehicle and ideas for improvement in

interesting andfun, but the task of doing this can be daunting. Likewise, theunderlying principles supporting the “How?”, “Why?” and“What for?” may seem elusive to many. Through ournumerous activities using the robotics kits we haveexperienced firsthand how quickly students can learn toassemble and operate this system.A crucial element to the introduction of any technology to theclassroom is the utility of the technology. LEGO™ roboticskits are designed with engineering precision allowing users toquickly and repeatedly build prototypes of projects conceived Figure 8. Freshman Designand designed by students. Added capabilities are gained bycombining the LEGO robotics technology with Vernier sensor technology—facilitating thedesign of experiments

A growing body of research indicates thatinclusive education is an effective practice for most students. For example, it is well documentedthat inclusive education can yield positive outcomes for all of those involved, including the focusstudents, typical peers, classroom teachers, and the school community at large.The engineering student teams were required to submit their designs to the 2013 RESNA StudentDesign Competition, an annual competition sponsored by Rehabilitation Engineering andAssistive Technology Society of North America.
