We present a program developed through collaboration between engineering and anthropology faculty that focuses on contextualized engineering in Tanzania, specifically Dar es Salaam, Longido District, Ifakara and Unguja Island, Zanzibar. The program benefited from a young and growing relationship with the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), and the work that JMU and UDSM conducted together expanded the existing collaboration and allowed both parties to lay the foundation for a successful, annual STEM-focused study abroad program, as well as launch new collaborative research projects into which future students can be integrated. The general concept so developed is portable and can be executed in other locations where faculty already conduct existing study abroad programs
