The
...
annual
...
Engineering
...
in
...
Context
...
trip
...
to
...
Honduras
...
provides
...
an
...
opportunity
...
for
...
team
...
members
...
to
...
learn
...
about
...
the
...
context
...
of
...
drinking
...
water
...
infrastructure
...
in
...
Honduras.
...
Although
...
each
...
community
...
is
...
a
...
new
...
context,
...
there
...
are
...
many
...
similarities
...
between
...
communities
...
in
...
Honduras
...
and
...
other
...
resource
...
poor
...
communities
...
throughout
...
the
...
Global
...
South.
...
The
...
trip
...
provides
...
an
...
opportunity
...
to
...
hear
...
the
...
passion
...
and
...
dreams
...
of
...
community
...
members,
...
to
...
see
...
the
...
common
...
infrastructure
...
failure
...
modes
...
associated
...
with
...
traditional
...
engineering
...
approaches,
...
and
...
to
...
see
...
the
...
impact
...
of
...
designing
...
for
...
sustainability.
...
The
...
lessons
...
learned
...
are
...
broadly
...
applicable
...
to
...
infrastructure
...
design
...
regardless
...
of
...
the
...
context.
...
The
...
role
...
of
...
feedback
...
in
...
systematically
...
improving
...
the
...
design
...
of
...
infrastructure
...
is
...
a
...
key
...
insight
...
from
...
the
...
visits
...
to
...
both
...
traditional
...
and
...
AguaClara
...
water
...
treatment
...
plants.
...
The
...
second
...
major
...
goal
...
of
...
the
...
trip
...
is
...
to
...
transfer
...
new
...
knowledge
...
from
...
the
...
Cornell
...
team
...
to
...
our
...
partners
...
in
...
Honduras.
...
This
...
varies
...
by
...
year,
...
but
...
typically
...
includes
...
new
...
fabrication
...
techniques,
...
new
...
unit
...
processes
...
or
...
new
...
scales
...
of
...
processes.
