The assessment for thesefuture programs will be more thorough and will include the following: • The qualitative evaluation component will include a survey and focus groups four (4) times during the program: a) prior to the preparatory meetings; b) following the preparatory
last 8 years the program identified the need to evolve to a three-phasedapproach. This 3-phase approach as described by Greene 18 appears to be addressing many of thepitfalls we have encountered during the education-based humanitarian engineering project workas part of international service learning. These pitfalls include balancing the educationalexperience with the humanitarian benefit, recruiting the right interdisciplinary skillset on studentteams and achieving year-to-year project continuity on an academic calendar. The keycomponents of the three-phased approach consists of a) fielding the community need and provingout feasibility in a functional concept model (Phase 1) b) piloting a solution in a test community(Phase 2) and c

catalyze a viral process that enables sustainable systems to multiply from site to site. In this approach, the University of Utah is working as the catalyst with the local “catalyst‐in‐training”, MUET, which more generally could be a University, an NGO, a government agency, local Service Providers (SP), or other key stakeholders in the identified Community of Practice. The catalyst seeks to (a) build capacity of the actors, (b) facilitate data management and ongoing dialogue among the actors in the community, and (c) build capacity of the local University, or other identified entity, to serve as the next catalyst in a new district. In the next step, the ‘local catalyst’ organization is then poised to take on the catalytic role with
