Affordances of makerspaces influencing biomedical undergraduate engineering students' design learning and curriculum localization in Uganda and the USA
REFNo: SIR448ES
Main Objective
To explore and compare how the affordances of the DesignCube makerspaces at Makerere University and Duke University influence biomedical engineering students' design learning and the localization of curriculum by the end of the study period.
Specific Objectives
1.To determine the perceived affordances of the DesignCube makerspaces among undergraduate biomedical engineering students at Makerere University and Duke University within the first four weeks of their engagement in the design coursework.
2.To assess the actual affordances of the DesignCube maker spaces after students’ full engagement with the prototyping and design coursework by the end of the academic term.
3.To identify the factors that foster or limit student engagement with the DesignCube makerspaces at Makerere University and Duke University by the completion of the study.
4.To evaluate how the affordances identified in each context (Makerere and Duke) inform the localization and adaptation of curriculum and pedagogy for design learning in biomedical engineering by the final stage of the study.

Agriculture and Livelihoods in Uganda
REFNo: SS3430ES
Main objective/ purpose
The purpose of the baseline study is to determine baseline values related to the current state of agricultural production, productivity, and the levels of access to commercialization facilities and to affordable and sustainable rural microfinance for value chain development in Uganda.
Specific Objectives
Specifically the baseline study aims: -
i. To assess the feasibility of investments in the coffee, rice, oil seed (sunflower and soybean), simsim (sesame), dairy (milk and milk products), and goats and sheep value chains to improve farmer incomes, and the feasibility of investments in cassava, maize and beans to improve food security as well as the cross-cutting themes of climate change as well as gender.
ii. To obtain qualitative data through conducting stakeholder interviews, facilitating focus group discussions, and obtaining quantitative data through a survey in targeted regions in Uganda.
iii. To assist in other research activities, including assisting the project team in identifying survey subjects that meet project inclusion criteria and respondents that can inform the feasibility study.
iv. To assist in piloting and refinement of data collection instruments and contribute to analysis to inform the Baseline Report and Feasibility Study
