Therefore, those of us that graduated prior to the introduction ofthe ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 1 would likely have received no formal teamwork trainingduring our academic studies. With the introduction of the accreditation requirement by ABET,which states that, “Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have an ability tofunction on multi-disciplinary teams.” the academic community has taken teamwork somewhatmore seriously. The “multi-disciplinary” requirement aside, demonstrating that our students“have an ability to function on teams,” is a daunting challenge on its own. Furthermore, insurveys conducted by the author, student responses reveal that many

It is therefore notuncommon for anyone with an engineering background, including students, to practice andapprove of engineering designs in countries such as Haiti. Two important conditions result fromthis dynamic: (1) for all practical purposes, students serving on humanitarian engineeringprojects in developing countries may be working in an environment where no participant isliable, and (2) students who voluntarily work in an environment void of liability are inherentlyaccepting the responsibility for a heightened
