Development for the other 80% Engineering Hope

Development for the other 80% Engineering Hope SummaryEngineering faces many challenges: most of the world’s population is under-served by designers and interest in engineering is declining among students. International sustainable development engineering programs provide hope; hope for those overlooked by engineers, and hope for academics to rejuvenate interest in engineering education, research and practice. At Michigan Technological University international sustainable development programs focused on developing communities have coalesced into the D80 Center that focuses on providing hope to the 80% of the world’s population poorly served by engineered goods, services and infrastructure. Based on 10 years of experience, the programs clearly resonate with a more diverse student body and produce resilient, service-oriented, globally-minded engineers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australasian Journal of Engineering Education Taylor & Francis
