Congratulations to our two Giving Back Fund award recipients for 2020.
The University of Minnesota chapter of Engineers Without Borders received an award for their project to develop a drip irrigation system, horticultural plan, and associated educational materials for a rural community in Ethiopia. ASABE members Brian Aeling, Lucy DeBoer, Sandra Larson, and Walter Eshenaur are involved with the project.
The second awardee is the Louisiana State University Community Playground Project, directed by ASABE member Marybeth Lima. The project partners LSU students in a first-year engineering design class with local schools to create safe and accessible school playgrounds. The project involves not only engineering design, but also community outreach and collaboration. ASABE member David Constant is also involved with the project.
