ADEC has great experience withconstructing water systems in rural Honduras and employs a few master masons that are skilledat construction. The communities also often aid in construction, especially in the transport ofmaterials, excavation, and installation of pipeline.Overall, the course provides students with a transformative learning experience. This isnecessary as each student explores international development, both to assist in identifying andresolving personal motivations and to identify the needs and expectations of the service recipient.It is the objective of the course to move

there seems tobe no real standard for how leadership skills are instilled in students. Offerings range fromvoluntary workshop offerings (for example, Brigham Young University’s Weidman Center forGlobal Leadership) to full undergraduate or graduate degree programs (for example, DukeUniversity’s Master of Engineering Management Program). In some instances, partnerships arecreated with other colleges who have expertise in leadership issues, such as business. In almost 3all cases, students only opt in, which creates a self-selection bias. That is, it seems likely thatthose who are naturally inclined toward a leadership skill set are the most likely consumers ofsuch offerings. Thus, the problem

choice between distributed or centralized control16. The WeRMSTrequirements for reconfigurability, modularity, and adaptability eliminated the possibility ofusing pure centralized control from practical consideration. Instead, a simple and finiteconnectivity scheme was determined to be essential for meeting the WeRMST requirements.However, a certain amount of central control was still important for maintaining an efficienthuman interface to the system for configuration specification. As result, a pure distributed agent-based control architecture was also determined to be insufficient for meeting the WeRMSTrequirements.The control architecture of the WeRMST consists of a master controller that is connected to acontroller on each workstation via a
