AB  - Since 2014 Colorado State University College of Engineering has been involved with the first United States based pilot of the Engineers Without Borders Australia global design challenge (EWB Challenge).  The EWB Challenge is a series of design challenges in different technical areas, created in cooperation with a local community and non-government organization in a different development setting and location each year.  Challenges in previous years have been based in Vietnam, Nepal, Timor Leste, Cameroon, and India in partnership with NGO’s such as the Nepal Water for Health and Habit for Humanity.  The EWB Challenge utilized in the design class this year at Colorado State University was based in the Mayukwayukwa refugee settlement in Zambia, partnered with the United Nations Refugee Agency. The EWB Challenge has been developed to be flexible for multi-disciplinary, intra-disciplinary or single discipline engineering design courses in the first and second year of undergraduate engineering degrees. The EWB Challenge program has been embedded into the curriculum of over fifty universities in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.  

This paper reports on the change in one hundred and eighteen first year civil and environmental engineering student’s global preparedness attributable to their taking a one semester, first-year civil engineering design class in which the EWB Challenge is taught at Colorado State University.  The change has been measured utilizing the validated Engineering Global Preparedness Index (EGPI) as a pre-test and posttest (with retrospective pretest to account for response shift bias).  The EGPI instrument measures the students self-identified changes regarding engineering ethics, efficacy, global-centrism and community connectedness.   Students responses have been compared through segmentation, to understand how gender, age, previous international travel, or involvement with student organizations such as the universities Engineers Without Borders USA student chapter affect student’s self-efficacy responses
