communities-in-need typically focus on creating,implementing, and optimizing innovative technologies that can be universally applied to thedeveloping world. Many of the technological design assumptions are based upon the provider’svalues and cultural experience, and often disregard the conditions and context of the recipientcommunity. This mindset is exacerbated by the characteristic isolation that engineeringeducation maintains with regard to non-technical disciplines such as anthropology, communityhealth, and social development. A year-long course at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, currently in is third year and working with its third community, breaks theisolationism of engineering thinking by combining undergraduate and graduate

As an example, Ivan (an industrial engineer) described how electricalengineering students assisted him in achieving a new understanding of the project technology,which aided innovation. Everything in this project was something that none of us had done before, regardless of major or experience. Another thing that was innovative was all of us got to work with each other at some level. I worked with EE's and I learned from them how they design solar panel arrangements and how they use some of their power generation formulas and how they store energy in some of their battery systems.
