Each year Villanova students participate in a variety of service projects and service trips. Among these is a Spring Break trip in which ten to fifteen Mechanical Engineering Juniors spend Spring Break in Waslala, Nicaragua collecting information for their senior design projects and working on water distribution systems designed by previous students.

The students spend the weeks before the trip learning abut Nicaragua and third world water systems. When they return, their senior design projects are then based on the information that they collected during the trip. This project enables our students to participate in a service activity related to engineering and to develop an understanding of another culture.

Students also participate in the Honduras Service Trip to Jesus de Amigos Orphanage and work on a variety of projects with Civil Engineering students.
