participant of the recent design summit to Cambodia, I incredibly valued the opportunityto partake in the course ‘Engineering for a Humanitarian Context.’ Not only was I able tounderstand the theoretical concepts of designing for vulnerable, disadvantaged andmarginalised individuals and communities, but I was then also given the tools to sensitivelyand appropriately expand my vision as to the role of a humanitarian engineer.By combining the [EfaHC] course with the Engineers without Borders Humanitarian DesignSummit in Cambodia, I was able to apply the courses content to a real life situation anddevelop my community consultation and engagement skills whilst having the opportunity totravel and engage with like-minded students.Multiple Engagements

Instead, it focuses engineering minds on the non-engineeringinfluences that must be considered to produce a successful, sustainable engineering design for arecipient outside the designers’ own sociocultural experience.Course

. First, the project focuses on faculty community, rather thanexternal communities such as companies or local residential communities. The definition ofcommunity we adopted is not just in a physical location, but in an organizational location, in “thecooperation in labor, order and management,” (Tönnies, 2000, p. 43). This is important in ourconsideration of community of engagement, as we go beyond physical boundaries, such as thosebetween university and its wider locale, to cognitive boundaries, such as those within and amonguniversity colleges and departments. It is with this in mind that we define engagement andengaged communities. Second, it expands the definitions and model of community engagementby highlighting how engineering faculty
