Want a hands-on, actually meaningful extracurricular that will let you improve people's lives? ~~ Then come check out Dartmouth Humanitarian Engineering! Come to our first general meeting of the term *tomorrow*, Tuesday January 8th at 8:00 pm in Carson 060 (it's on the first floor of the library) to hear about all of our projects! ~~ ------------------------------------------ About DHE DHE is an award-winning, impact-driven organization comprised of students from every year and most majors. We run a variety of projects, including small-scale hydropower, briquetting and biogas in Rwanda, Tanzania and the Upper Valley. DHE's small-scale hydropower project was recently recognized as a Dell Social Innovation Tomberg Prize Finalist, NCIIA Venture Lab Award Winner, EPA P3 Grant Recipient and Outstanding Student Humanitarian project in the IEEE's 2011 Change the World contest for its innovative engineering concept and business model. 14 students, from freshman to post-grads traveled this year to implement DHE projects! Our partners include CARE International, the Jane Goodall Institute, the Rwandan Ministry of Infrastructure, and other engineering student groups at Imperial College London and the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology.
