Initial Information and Role Descriptions to be given to Students Engineer E - US Engineer volunteering through Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Primary Concerns: • Creating a proposal for the community development project taking place at Jacobʼs Ladder which addresses the primary concerns for the community. • Identifying key informants and material to best identify the problem. Your Knowledge of the Situation: You work for an engineering firm based out of Philadelphia, PA specializing in wastewater and storm-water management. You have always been interested in service engineering projects and as a result have been connected with Engineers Without Borders (EWB) for the past few years. EWBʼs newest project is based in Haddon, Jamaica and is a community development project organized by Mustard Seed Communities (MSC). You have been given the task of working on the community assessment to properly identify the needs and areas of focus for the future. EWB has set aside money to allow you to travel to the site next week to perform the community assessment. You will be accompanied by a second engineer to help with the process. EWB will then use your recommendation to begin work on the design and planning for the community. For this project, you will be working with Engineer F to perform the community assessment and create a proposal for Jacobʼs Ladder.
