Description

A team of undergraduate engineering students developed and installed photovoltaic systems for low income families in El Jocotillo, Guatemala who did not have access to electricity. The students used a systems thinking approach as part of a design thinking process for this project. During a 10-day immersion in Guatemala, they learned from and worked with local photovoltaic experts and members of the community to install photovoltaic systems that are sustainable and appropriate for the families. This project is part of the Ethos Center within the UD School of Engineering.
