A recent trip to Morocco allowed Penn State engineering leadership students to put theory into practice as they engaged in a cross-cultural collaboration with engineering students from Ecole Mohammadia d'Ingenueurs (EMI).
A combined group of 30 Penn State and EMI students traveled to the tiny village of Assoul, several hours' drive north of Rabat, the country's capital and home to EMI. There, the teams fanned out to study soil erosion in the hills surrounding Assoul, water contamination in a central village well and the need to efficiently disinfect the water supply to prevent illness. The issues faced by Assoul are emblematic of villages throughout the Kingdom. (more)
