摘要：This paper will discuss themes related to the implementation of the engineering design process by two second-year engineering students while working in an international setting on a service learning project. In February 2015, the authors of this paper designed, tested, and implemented a novel wheelchair attachment to improve the mobility of persons with disabilities in Kenya. This project was carried out in its entirety during a period of 2 weeks, while staying in the small village of Mikinduri, located in Kenya’s Eastern Province. The scope of this paper will include benefits of implementing such projects into engineering design curriculum, along with recommendations based on the authors’ experiences. Topics such as CEAB Graduate Attributes covered, material availability, and communication barriers will be compared and contrasted between standard and service learning design projects
