Learn the struggles and help us engineer for the developing world! - A hands on approach.

Learn to apply your technical skills to solve problems in international development! We will be focusing on solar energy in this class. Working in teams, students will draft, design, build and test a solar oven made from low-cost materials. Later in the course, students will have hands-on experience with solar autoclaves and salt-water batteries. One class will include a trip to MIT's Development Lab to see real low-cost technologies that have been developed right here at MIT!
