Participants will be grouped and\ncharged with designing a durable, efficient and adaptable refugee camp.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EApplicants are teamed up based on their backgrounds and\nstrengths to create a well-rounded group able to consider the engineering,\nhumanitarian and health perspectives of the task at hand.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe have a lot of global health students from Emory, so we\nneed more Tech students, especially engineers, to team up with them,\u201d said\nHayden Asquith, a business administration and industrial engineering major who\nis chairing the event for EWB-GT. Students will come primarily from\nGeorgia Tech and Emory University, but some have also registered from Clemson\nUniversity and the U.S. Military Academy (West Point).\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThrough a $15,000 donation from Siemens, EWB-GT will give\nout monetary prizes in three divisions, to be named at the start of the event;\nfirst place in each division will earn $4,000, and second place $1,000. Working\nwith Peacebuilding Solutions, a non-governmental organization, the winning\ndesign will be presented to the United Nations High Commission on Refugees this\nwinter and constructed shortly thereafter.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe competition will be an intensive week, but the payoff\nis worth it \u2014 not just financially, but for the experience of meeting amazing\ncontacts, especially for global health or refugee camps, and actually putting\nwhat you learn in school into action,\u201d Asquith said.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe weeklong competition will commence with an opening\nceremony on campus on Sunday, Sept. 25, when students will receive specifications\nfor the refugee camp.
