entrepreneurship projects are constructed primarily in polysemous, contradictory terms. Students largely perceive empirical reality from secondary sources and superficial immersions in “local culture” that average four to eight weeks at a time. As an initial step in the reproduction of the ideology of humanitarian engineering/service learning, a series of markers are argued to constitute certain “facts” about the “third world” (a term used by engineering educators as recently as 2008). Subsequently the third world denizen(s) appears to stand as an abbreviation or, shorthand for a disparate constellation of attributes identified by outsiders visiting from the developed world. This results from a series of markers that apparently speak of

description of situated learning, Greeno et al. 32 describe knowledge as,“distributed among people and their environments, including the objects, artifacts, tools, books,and the communities for which they are apart.”32 This is nearly identical to Newstetter’s 8paradigm shift description of student learning in engineering design teams. This environment isalso consistent with Salas et al.’s 17 integrative model of team effectiveness. In describing thetheory, Salas et al. reference team leaders (plural) not team leader (singular) and describe howshared cognition affects leadership and vice-versa. Within the context of engineering education,this situated learning environment has been described by Johri & Olds 33 as a promising constructfrom the

For example, teachers, pilots, and doctors must all hold paramount thehealth and safety of the individuals in their charge, but among them only doctors must dedicatetheir work to the promotion of these individuals’ health and safety. The American MedicalAssociation’s (AMA) Code of Medical Ethics states that physicians are obliged to provide“competent medical care, with compassion and respect for human dignity and rights.”4 TheAmerican Bar Association’s (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct urge lawyers tofunction as “representative[s] of clients, [officers] of the legal system

that they wanted to avoid keepinga design notebook, which is a requirement for the EPICS class. After discussions with the currentstudent leaders, it was determined that the actual differential of work between EWB-USA andEPICS is not that significant and the benefits of the additional accountability of being graded forcredit motivated the change in policy to limit the number of audits.The EPICS curricular and assessment processes aligned very well with the EWB-USA structureand philosophy. Both EPICS and EWB-USA promote and rely on strong student leaders. TheEPICS structure did not reduce the student leadership and it allowed the inclusion of theprofessional mentors.
