| Abstract | The first-year engineering curriculum of Ohio Northern University culminates in a capstone design experience where students design a device to help alleviate some effects of poverty. Student teams research an assigned population to find a suitable device that could improve the lives of those living in poverty, develop a proposal, work through a complete design process and build and demonstrate a prototype. While student groups have been very proud of their excellent designs and assessment results show the experience is valuable, the devices have yet to make it past the demonstration phase. At the same time, Ohio Northern University established a program involving pharmacy, nursing and preprofessional students who travel to the Dominican Republic on medical mission trips. One engineering faculty member attended an informational meeting of a newly established student organization called “Northern Without Borders” and then accompanied the group on a trip to investigate potential projects and opportunities to implement first-year capstone designs. An international program for first-year engineering students was born: “Freshmen Without Borders”. This paper describes the creation of an international engineering service opportunity specifically for first-year engineering students, tied to the first-year engineering curriculum. This paper will describe the first year capstone project and the changes made to integrate specific device(s) which will not only be prototyped, but implemented in an impoverished population. The integration of the mission trip into the first-year engineering curriculum, including students who did and did not participate in the group, especially in consideration of ABET engineering accreditation criteria, will be discussed. Important details of teaming with an existing international service program will be demonstrated, including integrating engineering projects and engineering student teams into existing programs. Building the program, promoting it within the engineering student body and faculty, and assessing student interest will be included. While many schools have existing “without borders” programs available for their engineering students, this paper will be of particular interest to faculty members who are ready to explore the implementation of an international, interdisciplinary service component into their curriculum. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
