Service-learning trip has ASU and Vietnamese students co-develop smart farm technology
Eleven ASU engineering students recently joined in the launch of Global EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) by collaborating with Vietnamese engineering students and a sustainable farming organization to develop smart technology to boost agricultural efficiency. Working remotely at first and then at the ASU-supported Maker Innovation Space in Da Nang, ASU students helped to produce a soil humidity sensor to provide farmers data they can use to make decisions about raising their crops. Fulton Schools aerospace engineering students Karryn Baca and Tommy Montero and computer science student Merin Jacob were among members of the project team.
