This paper will discuss themes relatedto the implementation of the engineering designprocess by two second-year engineering studentswhile working in an international setting on a servicelearning project. In February 2015, the authors of thispaper designed, tested, and implemented a novelwheelchair attachment to improve the mobility ofpersons with disabilities in Kenya. This project wascarried out in its entirety during a period of 2 weeks,while staying in the small village of Mikinduri, locatedin Kenya’s Eastern Province. The scope of this paperwill include benefits of implementing such projectsinto engineering design curriculum, along withrecommendations based on the authors’ experiences.Topics such as CEAB Graduate Attributes covered,material availability, and communication barriers willbe compared and contrasted between standard andservice learning design projects
