ENGG4930 - Design for Global Health
Intensive team projects that focus on designing technology innovations for global health problems. Student teams are expected to build prototypes, implement solutions, and derive improvements based on feedback from NGOs and end-users in partner communities. Project course is given 3 credits each for fall and spring semester, and students are given the option to repeat for credits.
Selected students from ENGG4930 will take part in an overseas study trip, in which they visit the low-resource communities served by partner NGOs. The trip will be packed with on-site observations, data collection, interviews with stakeholders, and intensive brainstorming sessions. The students will also serve the underprivileged by conducting health workshops and implementing the products already developed in the prior semester. At the conclusion of the trip, the teams will present to partner NGO and receive feedbacks, and summarize their experience in learning portfolios.
This year, our student teams brought their projects to life in Hong Kong, Shantou and Siem Reap.
