fact that the containers will be transported by canoe. This can be a big design challenge on how to fit multiple containers in a canoe. I am hoping we can get more detail on this in order to really understand how our containers will travel through the Amazon. -Student B I find the fact that the containers need to be carried in a canoe through the Amazon to be a very interesting part of our project, because this adds a level of difficulty and challenge to our task rather than just creating a container for medical

followed andthe design skills employed more accurately reflect traditional design for technology. Thedomain of application may be in poor communities in dire need, but the solution itself has notbeen designed to accommodate the communities’ actual contextual circumstances—do theywant it, will they be able to support it, and does it even address the problems that arise intheir everyday lived experiences?B. Design for social justiceIn stark contrast with the design for technology case described above, a group of engineersfrom Canada and Australia designed a press to use recycled material collected by garbagepickers in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The phases of their design work are telling. First,mindful of their positions of privilege in academic
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

Page 24.501.5 undergraduate and graduate enrollments.For each of the four institutions noted in Figure 1, it was desirable to follow three differentgroups or cohorts; a) students involved in extracurricular CE; b) student who participate in an CEcourse/program; and c) students not involved in CE efforts (control group). These cohorts weresubjected of semi-annual on-line surveys aimed at quantitative (Likert-scale) measures of self-efficacy, motivation, attitudes, ABET criteria, and mental health. A sub-set of students at eachinstitution were also selected for semi-annual interviews (qualitative measures) and also had tocomplete the IDI cultural competency evaluation annually during the project’s three-yearduration.

Working with the marginalized and the poor does not imply charity. Rather, a true partnership with the community that is being served must be forged through a model where the community is involved in decision-making and management of projects.
