Engineering Education and Global Impact Service-Learning and Community Engagement Biomedical and Engineering Education

Abstract

The African Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology (ACREST) is an NGO located in Bangang, Cameroon. ACREST has partnered with the University of Kentucky and Purdue University in a joint service learning and engineering program to design and build a low cost, diesel powered Multi-Purpose Utility Vehicle (MPV) and a small-scale biodiesel production plant to generate the fuel needed to operate the vehicle. Students from the University of Kentucky and Purdue University have worked alongside technicians from ACREST to implement these two integrated projects. Lessons learned as well as best practices from the development of service learning in engineering programs for undergraduates will also be presented.
