Access is given to students who sign auser agreement which contains the guidelines for use of the lab. Guests can be broughtinto the lab if they are accompanied by a Teslab user (someone who has ID card access)and sign in to a guest binder; the user has the ultimate responsibility for any guest theybring into the lab.

During the course students workclosely with the community, a Honduran non-government organization, and professionaladvisors from various disciplines including civil engineering, water system operations, technicalcommunications, and political governance. The course focuses on wrestling with the challengesof defining a need, evaluating alternative solutions, and devising a plan for system construction,operation, and financing. Results of the first two efforts are discussed from the perspectives ofthe student participants, the community recipient, the NGO, and professional partners

In many ofthese cases, it could be argued that the most significant factors influencing student performancein, and perception of, a large format class come not from the students, nor the instructors, butfrom the curricular decisions of the cross-disciplinary course planning team charged with thedesign of the content, assessment and pedagogy employed within the classroom. Literature concerning methods for high-quality engineering course design is wellestablished, and should form the foundation of any initial course design, or major redesign, in anengineering curriculum.

This learning objective emphasizes the iterative process sometimes required in systems design to resolve communication interdependencies between designers. It highlights how incorrect or incomplete requirements can cause problems in systems design, testing as a part of a larger verification and validation plan can uncover problems, and how design changes have a tendency to propagate between subsystems.These topics expose fundamental parts of the SE process26 but also align with broader objectivesin engineering education27 to view design as a multidisciplinary activity where designers musteffectively work in teams to meet conflicting

It is an inherently creative process thatis carried out every day, whether it’s for building a rocket ship or planning a date for Fridaynight. With the rise of technology and globalization, the engineering design environment has avariety of challenges including: increased complexity, shorter lifecycles, constrained budgets, anincreased demand for partnerships, in addition to other considerations such as environmentalimpacts, performance, regulations, and legal ramifications.The ways in which to approach the design process are varied.

By increasingthe time that students are involved, and requiring them to engage in different stages of the projectsuch as data acquiring, design, and assessment of alternative solutions, they can create deeperimpacts [7]. Students require time to absorb important components of their service learning.Therefore, longer exposure and involvement helps them acquire more aspects of the designprocess.Another factor in designing an international service learning program is to determine if studentsare going to be required to travel to the site project or can they stay connected remotely too
