We know students are engaged and motivated when they are challenged with real-world and real-time projects in which to apply their learning.
The ‘Challenge:Amplified’ Program is built for 2nd – 5th year courses, structured to incorporate the strengths of the EWB Challenge 1st year program with consideration of the requirements of smaller class sizes and later-year units.
EWB uses our real-time work in Cambodia, Vanuatu, and Timor-Leste to scope relevant project briefs which are ready to be incorporated into curriculum. EWB brings the knowledge, experience, and resources which compliments, rather than replicates, what a course coordinator is able to develop on their own.
By working with the Challenge: Amplified program, academics are able to incorporate real-world sociotechnical projects and learning resources into all stages of a university degree program.
Engaging with Challenge:Amplified program provides academics:
a professionally scoped, real-world and real-time project brief that will challenge and motivate students
Immersive learning content that will enable your students to have a place-based experience without travelling
Live engagement with project stakeholders that will help students ground their learning and build professional skills
Access to a community of values-aligned engineering educators and socio-technical engineering teaching resources
Standard pricing is on a per course basis, however opportunities for discounted or pilot rates are available to university partners, to be discussed as part of an annual partnership renewal process and mid-year check-in meeting.
Example project topic areas include:
Water, Sanitation, Hygiene: ‘Nature-based solutions for drainage and WASH access in peri-urban Vanuatu’
