 My name is Larry Swigart and I'm from Wales in the UK. My background is that I graduated from Newcastle University last year with a first-class master's degree in civil and stretch engineering and I now work at WSP as a graduate bridge designer. My hobbies are everything to do with the outdoors. I love travelling, I love mountain biking, senate paddle boarding, road biking, hiking and anything to do with the outdoors. A fun fact about me is that I actually chose my university city based on the amount of bridges there were. My design project was with a charity called Adaptive and for Summit Education in Haiti and it was basically developing a prototype design framework for 40 remote and accessible schools in Haiti. What I learned, it's hard to summarise in words what I've learned because it's a substantial lot. I've learned so much about structural, architectural, wash and electrical systems that I could put into this prototype design. I've learned how important engagement with the community is throughout this whole process and I've learned also how Revit and Insight can be used to analyse the performance of buildings. What I remember about this experience in five years time is the impact that these projects have. So just here are photos of the difference just one school has made and it's just substantial. I also remember forever how amazing Adaptive have been to work with and also how much Engineering for Change has taught me about Engineering for Global Development. How has this impacted my career? Well, it's been an irreplaceable experience in Engineering for Global Development and it's made me realise the career path that I want to take. It's also allowed me to develop my skills and learn how I can truly make the biggest impact in this sector. My name is Abdul Rashid Musa. I am originally from Ghana, West Africa but I'm currently based in Columbia, Missouri in the United States of America. My background is in Civil Engineering, specifically Transportation Engineering, which I'm currently in my PhD in. My hobbies include being an Active, I enjoy spending time outdoors and welcoming chance to be creative so I love to do things that are engaging. The fact about me, I love to bake, I really got into it during lockdown and it has become something that will be a ritual for me now. So my design project that I worked on for this fellowship was with the partner organisation on the Spiritual City Prosperity who I invested in solving the last amount of problems. So my project specifically dealt with accessing the impact of trail bridges in the world of East Africa and what I did was develop a process flow for data gathering and processing utilising satellite imagery of the point and the situation with respect to the presence of the trail bridges. What I learnt from this activity or experience was quite difficult getting data especially when you're dealing with the global south so what's really important is to find creative solutions to meet the end. What I will remember of this experience in the next five years is the work of information and engagement from all the leading models. The connections with the partners for the E4C Fellows and the awareness of the EGD activities I get towards the STGs. How this has impacted my career so I was vaguely familiar with Engineering for Global Development but this has given me a first-hand invaluable experience working on the EGD project that has a direct impact on improving the lives of real people so I'm really thankful for that. Hi, I'm Francisco Plaza I'm currently based in Quito, Ecuador and I'll be sharing a little bit about my experience with the E4C Fellow. So a little bit on my background I study Mechanical Engineering at the University of San Francisco de Quito and I did a year abroad at Purdue University and some of my hobbies is Adventure in Nature Photography and my passionate rock climber. So a fun fact about myself when I arrived back from Purdue I started a multidisciplinary community of students in Ecuador to design more. So my design project into the fellowship was to collaborate with Amps Innovation to start a focus on solar energy into developing a solar fridge that would be able to remain cold 24-7 only relying on solar energy. The problem we were achieving is that we were freezing completely the storage goods. So I arrived into the project to provide some thermal expertise and the way I did that is basically developing some thermal models to understand how the different parameters would affect the performance of the fridge and move that to a more detailed CAD design and validate that through CFD and finite element analysis. And every week we have a student meeting when we sync up my results with their physical testings and we move the project to one direction or another. At the end we were able to produce and to design a local solar fridge that we are super excited to see in the market. So what I learned from the fellowship I interacted a lot with the science and Chinese vendors so I actually totally learned Chinese and I grasped some good know-how on design and design for manufacturing and grasped some solar energy bases which I'm super excited about. If you ask me 5 years from now what I will remember about the fellowship I'll tell you I remember my small group was this group of 5-6 fellows that we interacted every single week into designing and discussing design problems sharing experience and expertise and they just inspired to become a better engineer and a better person overall. And I will remember the impact we made so at the beginning we had this fridge that will deliver frozen beers to the end users in West Africa and at the end we developed this local fridge that will deliver the perfect beer to the end users in West Africa. I'm super excited about that. I have a background in mechanical engineering and sustainability science from Stanford University and for the past two summers I've worked with E4C and Autodesk to work on impactful sustainability related projects. I come from a family of classical musicians and I hope to combine my unique background in both art and technology to work as a PM in the future. My hobbies include watching films making music with my family cooking with my grandparents and other programs in my local community. A fun fact about me is I actually befriended a groundhog outside of my dorm in my junior year of college. This summer my design project was to work with the Autodesk Foundation to analyze their portfolio organization techniques get feedback and provide those recommendations back to the Autodesk team hoping that all of this would be to greater adoption of emerging technology across the portfolio companies. In addition I also helped scope out organizations, schedule technology assessments and organize trainings with the portfolio organizations. What I learned from this experience was cross-collaboration operational tools conducting customer success research and knowledge of the industry and the landscape of what the portfolio organizations are working on and the status of their technology development stories. What I will remember and take away from this experience in five years is the amount of in-kind support programs that Autodesk offers. I was so fascinated with the culture of cross-collaboration and communication across the team and I was also really impressed with how employees continued to engage and volunteer activities and pro bono consulting after hours. Now how this has impacted my career is that this experience has provided me vision focus and skill development. By interacting with a diverse and talented cohort of portfolio organizations and getting the opportunity to interview and interact with them has really inspired me to continue to pursue my career in EGD and has also given me the confidence and skills to continue to apply my skills to work in the industry. I really appreciated and enjoyed this experience and I hope to continue to stay in touch with the community. My name is Sam Bortworth. I'm a background in civil engineering with just over three years of experience working in rural water supply based in Uganda and I've been working in MSC water and sanitation for development. I'm from the UK and I'm based just outside of the city of Leicester in the centre of England and as part of the fellowship this year I took part in a project with medicines sans frontières with a project title a standard actable catalogue of water tower designs and construction typologies. Medicines sans frontières or MSF provides a large scale humanitarian assistance to people suffering as a consequence of conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and excursion from the healthcare services. The large population demand is civilly found in these scenarios requires a method of safely supplying storing and distributing water in substantial areas which makes elevating water storage tanks a vital piece of water supply infrastructure in both urban and rural settings. Therefore the aim of this project was to produce a catalogue of structurally sound standardised water storage options able to meet local demand whilst accounting for site variability. At the beginning of the project three tank capacities of 5, 10 and 20 metres cubed at heights of 3, 6 and 9 metres were put forward by MSF and to account for the variability in the construction site conditions a risk design matrix was developed to investigate primary loading conditions with which our tower designs may be subjected to and establish four risk categories based on these loading conditions which results in a total of 36 separate designs to be taken forward into modelling. So far nine of these designs have been produced which satisfies MSF's basic input constraints and also forms the basis of foundation for this catalogue. These nine designs were produced using Revit, Autodesk software and they were tested and simulated using robot structure analysis to ensure that each member was structurally optimised. Technical drawings and builds of quantity were produced for each of the nine from models and these were then exported to either PDF or Excel. However, the selection or appropriate model from the catalogue to meet site constraints requires technical expertise on the ground that MSF field staff may lack. It was then discovered that Inventor iLogic enables rule driven design to standardise and automate the design process and configure structural models to suit user inputting constraints. This meant that columns, beams and crossbracings were replaced or modified to better support changing load conditions using simple drop down menus that are pre-programmed. So you can see here this tank capacity changing the sizes and quantity of the supporting columns supporting the water platform above. So we have five metres cubed ten metres cubed and ten and twenty metres cubed and you can see the changing sizes respective of these capacities. So the use of Inventor in its iLogic capabilities represents a lot of potential as it can automate the selection process by reducing user input thereby making our design catalogue smart. However whilst iLogic has great potential for this application, it is still in the early stages of development for this project and the finished computer based catalogue will require the software. This may not be technically or logistically feasible for MSF ground staff when resources are limited and construction sites are remote. Autodesk Forge however is a cloud based platform that can integrate Inventor iLogic with a simple internet browser significant increasing the compatibility of the fieldwork. This will form the basis for future work on this project. In the fellowship I developed competency with Autodesk Revit, Inventor and Robo-structure analysis software. I significantly improved my presentation and communication skills and I increased my network of practitioners in the engineering for global development space. This is Brandon Simons. Right now I live right outside of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania in the United States. I am studying for my master's in system engineering and international development at Villanova University. I'm also half American and half Korean. So my background is from the Illinois technology where I studied electrical engineering. After my degree I decided to join the Peace Corps for a couple years where I served in Zambia focusing mostly in fish farming but I did a lot of other work with youth especially focused around HIV and AIDS education. So for my hobbies like along my fellows I like to go hiking and have a lot of outdoor activities whether it's from mountaineering to backpacking to rock climbing just a wide variety of outdoor sports. So one of my passions and things I like to do is to build electronic longboards. I started this out in college and I continue to the day as my mean of transportation around the cities that I live in. My design project for E for C was with Sory Buddy and I'll show you an NGO but we were really focused on developing a new product line for them called Family Buddy and so this solution that you can see here focuses on giving families across the world the ability to cook cleanly without fossil resources. So this has, this box has around 600 to 700 watts of solar with the iron phosphate battery backup that can provide a full day's power for family of five to cook their meals as well as having outputs for a sort of fridge as well as possible lights too. So the whole project was to look at the feasibility of this from the grounds up. So that was one of my big learning lessons from this fellowship was product development and within that it was a lot of engaging of stakeholders and with Sory Buddy as well as our partners abroad and so taking in consideration all of these perspectives from one maybe NGOs in the field that are trying to do similar things to Sory Buddy's Partizomatic Asker, what are the food requirements for the stove? What are the cooking requirements? As well as the technical specifications that were required by Sory Buddy. So having this feedback within these stakeholders was so essential to the project that eventually led to the development of the CAD monolings on Fusion 360. So the thing that I think I'll remember the most out of these five years is the relationships that I've made. Whether it's with Simon and Joe from Sory Buddy that helped with the design and feasibility of this whole project but also of the small group here at Eversy of really creating these relationships to hear the diverse perspectives that we have from engineering to life and having this diverse group and communicating really brought out the ideas and the enthusiasm that we have in engineering for global development. I think this is what I remember the most and the relationships that will last me throughout my entire life. And so for my career I already see that all the work that I've had within this project has started to move out to my other parts that I have. This is one in Cambodia for everyone that I have in Fiji. It really is all these design principles of product development to the engagement of stakeholders and understanding why and how we design and the implications of the design choices that we make and really communicating those across stakeholders and hearing their perspectives and their understandings because without that we don't have the true impact that we want to have. And so throughout this whole project working with Eversy I really understood what my role is as an engineer and how do I collaborate with others from a diverse background and field to make everything that I want to do a reality. Thank you so much. Hello everyone, my name is Martin Del Vino. I'm from Argentina currently living in Spain and Sweden because of my studies I'm an industrial engineer from the University of Buenos Aires with a specialization in project management for sustainable development and finalizing my studies in sustainability in UPC of Barcelona and KTH of Stockholm my hobbies, of course being an Argentine and I like a lot football. I also enjoy literature writing, reading and traveling a lot and doing outdoor exercises maybe a fun fact about me it was my experience in Mozambique working with rural communities in the construction of schools it was a life-changing experience some years ago and regarding my project collaboration I worked with the partner Habitat for Humanity analyzing the opportunities of the circular economy in the affordable housing sector in Mexico so the objective was to map opportunities trends, barriers and policy options to enable circularity in affordable housing so our main outcomes were for opportunities to achieve this the first one was recycling of construction and demolition waste then the use of biobase and natural materials also boosting the use of industrialized construction systems to reduce the use of materials and finally a big trend is the use of plastics as a recycling material for buildings the project was really really interesting and maybe the thing I will remember in four or five years was the multicultural experience working with fellows from 22 countries and the partner from different countries it was a very interesting work of my empathy and communication skills and how this impacted my career I think I learned a lot about a strategic approach for sustainable development goals and how there are synergies between different SDGs and of course working remotely was a great challenge and of course connecting with high impact global organizations as habitat for humanity and E4C thank you everyone nice to meet you Hi, my name is Sahar Shamsi and I'm based in Toronto, Ontario in Canada. My background is in mechanical engineering and I received my degree from the University of Toronto a fun fact about me is that I'm a black belt in Taekwondo and I enjoyed learning and teaching martial arts in my spare time during the fellowship my project was with the United States Department of Energy specifically their division of NREL, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. NREL hosts a 3.3 million dollar multi-stage competition known as the Waves to Water Prize asking innovators to create wave power desalination systems for disaster relief scenarios this advances sustainable development goals number six and number seven during this project I was able to support 10 entrepreneurs in the fourth stage of the competition the create stage to help solidify their technical design for the next stage of the competition as well as look at into their business plan and help to effectively bring their product to market my wow moment during the scholarship was when I first realized the incredible potential of wave energy systems at that moment I knew that I was working on technologies that would build a sustainable future for us all during the fellowship I learned so so much I first gained a global network of fellows and collaborating and consulting with them taught me to look at a problem with multi-dimensional perspectives alongside that I also learned that I loved working with entrepreneurs the fellowship gave me so many opportunities to explore that first with my project with NREL and also through ASME's iShow a hardware led social innovation accelerator I was able to facilitate a hardware validation session which taught me that I absolutely loved interacting with entrepreneurs coupled with my love for working towards the sustainable development goals I learned that I wanted to continue my career in this path that let me to join climate ventures at the center for social innovation in Toronto where I lead a program of six accelerators for hundreds of entrepreneurs all across the 13 provinces and territories of Canada so with that I'd like to say a big thank you to E4CA and ASME for this amazing fellowship
