While BGCPC was also connectedwith Girls, Inc., for many years and used their research-based STEM programming, thataffiliation was dropped in 2003. The BGCPC staff still benefit from the philosophy and trainingthey received during that time. Girls, Inc., teaches that a staff person shouldn’t jump in and savethe girls; instead, empower them.

The program consists of three components: preparation, implementation, andevaluation. These components are aimed to introduce and teach students the concepts ofhumanitarian engineering through a practical, real-world, hands-on experience. During the firststage, the students assess needs in collaboration with in-country partners, and then research,design, develop, prototype, test and document their chosen projects. In the second stage, thestudents implement and execute these projects. Finally, the students evaluate their designs anddocument their results as well as make recommendations for future

As a result, communities are not onlyleft with solutions that don’t fit and can’t be fully implemented or sustained, their futurewellbeing and resilience1 is undermined in the process.While progress is being made to customize solutions, and in some cases to seek communityengagement, the power of design still rests in the hands of the external actors that frequentlyundervalue or do not engage community knowledge and creativity.

Thus,negative comments reflect a fundamental observation: for engineering, servant-leadershipprojects are more time-consuming than conventional course projects due to the need to serve anoutside stakeholder on a deadline. A best-practice, therefore, is build more time into courses forservant-leadership projects than is typically given for conventional projects.To further place negative aquaponics miniature project comments in context, it is helpful tocompare this project against design-and-build projects selected by instructors in previousofferings of this thermodynamics course.
