Design Thinking
Utilizing the support from students, we work alongside engineering and global health programs to build upon the current student enthusiasm to design innovations. EHI catalyzes a deep iterative understanding of our projects, challenges members to go beyond the standard, and design/implement using a broad collective of hands-on methods. Ours is the process of questioning, brainstorming, re-framing, sketching, testing, and ultimately, applying.

Human Centered Design
Our problem solving approach is one of Human-Centered Design. In other words, our ideas and designs begin with you, the needs of others, and ends in our team prototyping, researching, and designing solutions tailored to the unique needs of others. Our humanitarian philosophy revolves around building empathy, compassion, and service towards others.
