Abstract
As part of an undergraduate course, engineering students positively responded to an opportunity to develop a curriculum on basic energy concepts for developing countries. The curriculum will be used to equip volunteers for maximum impact in assisting people in third-world countries with sustainable energy-related development. The students found motivation in the stewardship of their newfound understandings of science and engineering applied to the service of the world‟s poor. They also gained valuable experience in several non-technical areas. Student feedback on the project is presented, as well as a summary of the curriculum modules.
