The third Share Solutions ... Invest in One Another award winner for 2011 is the EIWB - Engineering Innovators without Borders - program at Rowan University's College of Engineering.
I've heard of Doctors without Borders, but can't recall any personal knowledge of EIWB before this morning. According to a post in today's NJ.com, there are several groups of engineering students working on what I would call practical technology - leveraging what's available to a given locale and maximizing its use. Projects mentioned in the article range from heating briquettes made from peanut shells to rope-operated water pumps, with lots others in between.
As of today, this link will work for you to see more on their efforts:
Should that link fail, Rowan University is located in Glassboro NJ (it was previously known as Glassboro State College).
Pax vobiscum - and Happy Valentine's Day to all!
