During this project students workedin collaborative teams to complete interesting assignments and learned how to collaborate withother professionals in multiple locations utilizing various communication tools. Instead offocusing on their individual specialty the students worked inter-disciplinarily to gain a holisticappreciation of the overall context of the project. Due to the uniqueness of this project studentshad to learn and use critical thinking and problem solving skills to overcome the variousengineering and physical location challenges encountered – language barriers, remote location,and limited resources

One grouprequiring unique retention efforts is students who are making satisfactory grades when theydecide to withdraw. Many of these students have a difficult time connecting the work ofintroductory engineering classes with the local, national and international societal issues thatthey value. Service learning has been integrated into many non-engineering curricula withsuccess in developing skills and promoting social engagement. In engineering settings it canalso be used to highlight the link between engineering and society at moments when studentsseek such a connection.

National organizations, such as Engineers WithoutBorders and Engineers for a Sustainable World, have provided a mechanism for students to dosuch works and further develop both their technical and non-technical skills. Over the last fewyears, student teams from Tufts University, many times teaming engineering with non-engineering students, have undertaken projects in Ecuador, El Salvador, Ghana, and Tibet.
