“engineering is not just engineering”, the course is an attempt to recognize the importance of theunderstanding that engineers are responsible for the social change that their profession creates.Traditional engineering courses typically focus on the development of technical skills but oftenfail to help students develop the professional or “soft” skills that engineers need today and to createa sense of social responsibility [1]. It was very important to the instructional team that studentsdevelop the needed cultural awareness and that they would be inspired to use their technical skillsto practice social entrepreneurship with the intention of making a difference in their communitiesand society at large. Unlike many courses that engage engineering

According to ABET, engineering baccalaureate graduatesshould possess a set of five “hard” skills and a set of six professional skills3,4,5. The professionalskills, outlined below, are skills that employers desire from engineering professionals.(1) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams(2) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility(3) an ability to communicate effectively(4) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of

The first two projects, inLas Queseras and Fatima, dealt with a groundwater source while Cerro Verde’s primary sourcewas a surface stream.It is important to note that the students in the course do not build anything while on-site.Although many students begin the course with the expectation that they will aid in construction,the first semester exposes them to the consequences of going into a community and building asystem as a charitable undertaking. Not only does this impact the amount of ownership thecommunity feels they have of the system, the students also come to realize that

The team effort of these officers canmake a substantial impact on the support and the perception of engineering students at a schooland within the surrounding community. However, many groups struggle for much of the firstsemester each year to organize themselves and get activities up and off the ground because theproverbial baton has been dropped. Because the duties are generally the same for each officerfrom year to year, to ensure a smooth transition, it makes sense to establish a system for trainingthe incoming officers before they officially take office.This paper
