An engineering design service similar to Engineers Without Borders established to help development organizations and workers. They provide a service that bridges the gap between appropriate sustainable development and the best engineering solutions. Relying on the input of their partners to ensure that the work is appropriate and integrated with other development priorities , their work is carried out as projects by undergraduate, MSc and PhD students supervised by lecturers in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Based at Imperial College, London, last year they ran undergraduate projects for the design of a Low Cost Wind Turbine based on generic parts and to develop a Wooden Bridge Design Manual for use in providing emergency or cheap access. These projects will run again this academic year along with two projects looking at alternative low-cost energy generation schemes and a project to design an absorption fridge. These projects are initially for publicity purposes and will be posted on their web site for general use with online technical support from Developing Technologies. This academic year they will also run their first live project designing farm implements for use in Eastern Europe. Keen to identify new partners, they're able to undertake a wide range of design work from the very small to the very large for use by just one family or by many communities.
