Engineering Academic Programs for Hydrophilanthropy: Commonalities and Challenges
This paper presents four different program models for student participation in international development that are being used by universities throughout the United States with a focus on international water resource projects. These include a service‐oriented program (Engineers Without Borders at Johns Hopkins University), a senior design program (Global Design Teams at Purdue University), an extended research program (Long Term Research at the University of Notre Dame), and a graduate program affiliated with the Peace Corps (The Peace Corps Master's International Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Michigan Technological University). Differences and commonalities are identified across the four models, as are the critical components, resources, and challenges which must often be addressed for the success of these types of projects. A major conclusion is that, regardless of the program model used for the experience, international experiences continue to have strong, positive impact on the engineering student and, when properly designed, on the in‐country stakeholders.
