As developed nations increase their aid to less developed countries, there is a growing recognition that high-tech solutions to problems of underdeveloped nations are not always satisfactory. Instead, a more appropriate, or less sophisticated, technological level is often the best solution for many problems of these developing nations.
To successfully transfer technological knowledge of this type to the Third World, a profound understanding of the mores, beliefs, and needs of the people of these nations is vital. However, it is equally important that the person involved in this transfer be highly educated in technical matters so that appropriate creative designs can be turned into practical devices.
Drexel’s appropriate technology major offers a unique opportunity to combine an engineering degree with practical experience in helping improve the living conditions of people in rural areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as in poorer regions of the United States.
