Chronology

  plant. Participates as facilitator in ENT workshops.
 Spring 2010 Diane and Mahmoud participate in
  NCIIA AI2V workshop at Stanford
 Summer 2010 Diane: Internship with NGO in Ifugao
  doing further work on Maggok and assisting in
  Entrepreneurship workshops. Mahmoud visits for 2
  weeks with faculty from Business and Engineering
 Fall 201o, Diane’s senior project: Design of a 1 MW
  system for village in Ifugao province. Mahmoud
  working with her on design.
Chronology (continued)
 Spring 2011 Diane graduated, and Mahmoud
  completed his masters degree, and entered the Ph.D.
  program in sustainable engineering
 Summer 2011 Diane: attended International
  Development Design Summit, (IDDS) Ghana
 Fall 2011 Diane and Mahmoud encouraged to request
  funding for feasibility planning for implementation of
  planned 1MW system. Plan funded ($20,000)
 Fall, 2011, Diane departs for Philippines. Mahmoud
  follows in later in the fall.
Current status
 Diane and Mahmoud working hard to identify a site
 for their initial 1MW system. On schedule and on
 track.
   Creating relationships
   Building community support
   Lining up suppliers
   Making initial site-specific design and business model
 Maggok site in disarray. Funding issues and damage
 from summer typhoon.
NCIIA’s role
 The grants (and the process of applying and revisions)
  empowered our faculty team to engage students in a
  unique field experience.
   Not another service learning trip
   not “Voluntourism”
 AI2V process engaged the students as equals in the
  process, and challenged their way of thinking.
   If you don’t do the community building and get the
    community to buy in, the technology will not last
 Legitimacy when asking others for money.
 Forum to discuss lessons learned and to learn from others.
Conclusions
 Diane feels that she and Mahmoud no longer think
  like engineers, but rather like Social Entrepreneurs.
 They see things as interwoven systems, not as stand
  alone components.
 “Culture might be the most important
 consideration when trying to implement a
 design”.
Thank you. Any Questions?

Context  Sustainable Vision Grant: Clean Water and Energy Technology for Ifugao, Philippines  Provide Technical Assistance to Local Inventors  Facilitate a Small Business Development Program  Assist Local Entrepreneurs Establish Sustainable Business Ventures  Team  Faculty from Business and Engineering  Engineering students seeking inspiration for senior projects
  • 4. Where is Ifugao, and Maggok?
  • 9. Diane Tamir  Member of the initial Assessment team as a sophomore  ME with a minor in Entrepreneurship  Manhattan, NYC  NOT looking for a senior project topic  Dedicated to “service” and “helping”  ½ Filipino
  • 10. Mahmoud Kabalan  Jordanian citizen  MS EE student  Dr. Singh, Chair of ECE as his mentor
  • 11. Chronology  Summer 2009 Diane is part of Assessment team – first trip to Maggok, and first look at the micro-hydro plant. Participates as facilitator in ENT workshops.  Spring 2010 Diane and Mahmoud participate in NCIIA AI2V workshop at Stanford  Summer 2010 Diane: Internship with NGO in Ifugao doing further work on Maggok and assisting in Entrepreneurship workshops. Mahmoud visits for 2 weeks with faculty from Business and Engineering  Fall 201o, Diane’s senior project: Design of a 1 MW system for village in Ifugao province. Mahmoud working with her on design.
  • 12. Chronology (continued)  Spring 2011 Diane graduated, and Mahmoud completed his masters degree, and entered the Ph.D. program in sustainable engineering  Summer 2011 Diane: attended International Development Design Summit, (IDDS) Ghana  Fall 2011 Diane and Mahmoud encouraged to request funding for feasibility planning for implementation of planned 1MW system. Plan funded ($20,000)  Fall, 2011, Diane departs for Philippines. Mahmoud follows in later in the fall.
  • 13. Current status  Diane and Mahmoud working hard to identify a site for their initial 1MW system. On schedule and on track.  Creating relationships  Building community support  Lining up suppliers  Making initial site-specific design and business model  Maggok site in disarray. Funding issues and damage from summer typhoon.
  • 14. NCIIA’s role  The grants (and the process of applying and revisions) empowered our faculty team to engage students in a unique field experience.  Not another service learning trip  not “Voluntourism”  AI2V process engaged the students as equals in the process, and challenged their way of thinking.  If you don’t do the community building and get the community to buy in, the technology will not last  Legitimacy when asking others for money.  Forum to discuss lessons learned and to learn from others.
  • 15. Conclusions  Diane feels that she and Mahmoud no longer think like engineers, but rather like Social Entrepreneurs.  They see things as interwoven systems, not as stand alone components.  “Culture might be the most important consideration when trying to implement a design”.
