This unique course, which is scheduled for TR 11:00 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. in Spring 2016, brings together faculty from Engineering, Anthropology, Urban Planning, and Community Health for an interdisciplinary examination of considerations in undertaking international development projects and why development efforts succeed or fail. The focus will be on a specific case: an irrigation project in the highlands indigenous community of Lumbisi, Ecuador, which will be designed by Engineers Without Borders Chapters at UI and Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador. Participants may participate in summer field research on site for additional credit. Contact awhitmer@illinois.edu for more information.
