]. While the concepts of “resilience” or “resiliency” are now invogue in engineering academic circles, these are seldom understood, especially in relationship toECD projects. If we want to enhance resiliency in communities through our engineering projects,we have to be careful that our efforts do not become exclusively technocentric. A preliminaryreview of the literature in resiliency in ECD projects shows that most place resiliency as either acharacteristic of the built environment (infrastructure) or as the attitude that engineering studentsmust develop to succeed in a demanding curriculum [10][11]. But how about resiliency as alatent characteristic of communities that can be both enhanced by the way engineers behavewhen working with communities

the communities or do not always provide theexpected long-term benefits to communities. For example, in water, sanitation, and hygiene(WASH) projects, the extensive monitoring, evaluation, and maintenance required for effectiveWASH interventions decrease the likelihood student-led projects will be successful in positivelyimpacting a community’s health over the intended design life [8], [9]. Furthermore, theconstraints of the academic calendar and the high turnover rate of students from year-to-yearoften results in students only being engaged for a single year, while many infrastructure projectstake multiple years to complete from planning to construction to monitoring and evaluation.As a result, it is often a challenge to identify service

the collective, dynamic behavior of the system of people,infrastructure, policies, practices, values and beliefs. In the same way, we are suggesting that thelearning and designing for sustainability is a systems-level phenomenon that requires perspectiveand action at the systems level; such learning for sustainability cannot be found by isolatedmeasures of individual learning.From a systems point of view, the action mode available and its inherent leverage are limited bythe level of perspective in a system as depicted in Figure 1. If one only has access to visibleevents, such as an absence of sustainable communities, they can only be reactive. For adaptiveaction, one must see the systemic patterns that give rise to what occurs as the problem
