The projectis usually identified directly with a community, by a community partner or by the instructor.Students then work on developing a solution through an iterative engineering design process andcome up with prototypes which they may share with the community or the community partner toreceive their feedback. Students then travel to the community and deploy the prototype. In someinstances, a ‘one and done’ approach could also be taken where the course moves on from thecommunity or non-profit partner to a different one after just one or a few instances
