Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) is a student-driven service-orientedprogram whose mission is to provide sustainable, engineered solutions to communities in thedeveloping world. One of the most successful features of CEDC, from both undergraduateeducation and community development perspectives, is the structured and innovative internshipexperience. In addition to in-class student participation in design, planning, and projectimplementation, a few students are selected annually for an internship in the host communitywhere they have the opportunity to develop and enhance their leadership skills in an internationaland diverse setting. The internship program consists of Clemson University engineering studentsliving in rural Haiti for 6-12

Ultimately, our sampleconsisted of 20 from Fall 2015 and 21 from fall 2016.1 We collected this sample at random,choosing ~ three group assignments from each section of the course. Roughly seven of the 16sections from fall 2015 and 7 of the 12 sections from fall 2016 were represented in the sample.To facilitate a blind review, infographics were stripped of all information that would identifywhich

. ‘Good enough’ means creatively defining the knowable boundarybetween unacceptable solutions and acceptable ones - neither over constraining nor underconstraining the design space.The Problem with ProblemsIf we begin with the cross-disciplinary definition of design as the “conception and planning ofthe artificial” 14, which includes design as understood by the arts and other fields, engineeringdesign becomes the conception and planning of the artificial in the service of a specific humanneed. It is a response to a problem. But what is a problem? Our traditional language for ‘design’includes both the solution to a problem (e.g., puzzle solving), but also the ‘good enough’determination of what the problem is (e.g., puzzle making) 15. But this

Unlike the introductory computer engineering coursedescribed in this paper, the course will focus solely on Verilog. The lectures will cover Verilogsyntax, best practices, synthesis, etc. and the students must implement all of the homeworkassignments and projects in Verilog to give them more and more practice.
