AguaClara Engineers Abroad

Students who have worked with the AguaClara project are eligible to apply for a 1 year field assignment to assist with the technology implementation, performance documentation, and dissemination. The year long terms run from summer to summer with a goal of maintaining project continuity with some overlap with the current AguaClara Engineers. The AguaClara Engineers are hired through our in-country partner organization and are paid volunteer wages designed to cover all expenses.

If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Monroe Weber-Shirk (mw24@cornell.edu).

January Honduras Experience

The team travels to the project sites in Honduras during the January intersession. The two week January intersession in Honduras provides an opportunity to present the first semester design work to our partner organizations and to receive their suggestions for refinements during the spring semester. We are also able to evaluate the performance and sustainability of the AguaClara designed water treatment plants that have been built over the past several years in Honduras.
