AB  -                    High Tech High Touch: Lessons Learned from                                Project Haiti 2011Abstract – In this paper, we will share our experiences and lessons learned from a design project(Project Haiti 2011) for providing clean water to a Haitian community. Supported by funds froma renewable energy company and the university president’s office, five engineering students andtwo faculty members from X University successfully designed and installed a solar poweredwater purifier for an orphanage located in Chambellan, Haiti. This paper discusses the uniqueeducational experiences gained from unusual design constraints such as ambiguity of existingfacilities due to limited communication, logistics of international construction at a remote villagelocation, and cross-cultural differences in water usage. Multiple positive outcomes wereachieved such as our students developing a global perspective, our faculty gaining experience inleading an overseas student trip, and the provision of daily water for children and surroundingcommunity in Haiti. Our student perspectives will be shared as well as the framework for supportfrom our community and university administration. Project Haiti 2011 was a big success for allthe participants and the stakeholders. We hope that this paper inspires others to pursue similarservice learning experiences and find a repeatable engineering education model for internationalcommunity improvement projects.
