For many years, IR 322 students have formed groups to study the development problems of particular countries and to offer development proposals to alleviate those problems. This year, the class of seven has formed a single group to study Honduras and to propose a rural development project based upon their diagnosis. They will initiate the implementation of that development project during a visit to Pueblo Nuevo in Santa Barbara province during a visit May 7-16, 2009, with a follow-up visit planned for August 2009. Both trips are coordinated with Lehigh's chapter of Engineers Without Borders, who will provide much-appreciated logistical support.
