, 2011 Implementation of an Integrated Product Development (IPD) Competition in a Rural Dominican Community: Lessons Learned AbstractThis paper describes the challenges in the development and execution of a product design anddevelopment competition for a rural community by a small engineering student team. Theservice-learning project was conducted by a four-person team, relying on the collaboration of acommunity partner organization in the Dominican Republic, and a small group of graduatestudent advisors. The goals of the project were to a) identify critical needs in the community touse as a theme in the competition, b) encourage team-building within the community, c) developmodules for

But, with tropical diseases held in check new frontiers would be open in Asia, in Africa, in SA, and agriculture would become unprofitable in the OLD World; new and tremendous problems would arise.20But close analysis of such concerns regarding technical enterprise are almost always developedand shared outside of engineering disciplines themselves, or compartmentalized withinengineering as humanistic or policy aspects of technical work, rather than as

limitation in this work is that there are a limited number of definitions and most do notprovide full documentation of the fields included in their definition. Also, a number ofdocuments may need to be referred to determine a single organization’s definition, and it is onlypossible to determine whether they include a specific discipline in STEM. Another limitation isthat most of the organizations only provide the higher level disciplines in the STEM definition,such as “agriculture sciences”, the discipline name “agriculture science” does not exist in the CIPcode, but 74 specific disciplines are listed related with agriculture sciences field.References 1.
