ET 4521 - Engineering and Technology Projects in Developing Countries: Design
Students will contribute their discipline specific knowledge and skills as part of a multidisciplinary team to meet the engineering needs of a community in a developing country. Specific areas of need could include water treatment and distribution, energy systems, light construction, sanitation, and small-scale industries. As part of the team, they will be required to contribute to the development of specifications and a project plan including budget, materials, schedule and labor. They will be expected to master new relevant technical and non-technical material through attendance at lectures, consultation with faculty and professional mentors and self study. They will be also be expected to design and develop a sub-system that is part of a solution that is economically, environmentally, socially and ethically appropriate.
