Spring Break 2012, Colombia, South America
For spring break in 2012, a group of students consisting mainly of nuclear engineers decided to skip going to the beach and instead went to Colombia, South America through a course offered by NE professor, Dr. Jean Paul Allain. Students traveled to work in collaboration with several universities throughout Colombia by offering a workshop to help them integrate an EPICS like program at their own universities. While specifically targeting one outreach project, it gave the students in all universities the opportunity to expand their technical knowledge to also include the understanding of social impact that engineering projects have on surrounding communities.
