On Providing Engineering Students With Culturally-Appropriate Design Experiences In Developing Countries, Thomas J. Thompson, Lawrence D. Zavodney
On Providing Engineering Students With Culturally-Appropriate Design Experiences In Developing Countries, Thomas J. Thompson, Lawrence D. Zavodney
Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
Academic institutions are encouraged to instill "the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context." This paper summarizes the structural, planning, and logistical aspects of offering senior-level capstone and underclass extra-curricular design projects targeted for developing countries. These projects engage the students in year-long design and fabrication, and culminate in taking students to foreign soil for delivery and installation. The necessary infrastructure and culture at the academic institution, relationships with appropriate intermediaries, and the role of a receptive national host that needs engineering services are identified. The goal is to continue an on-going collaborative relationship that takes students …
