...recent snowy Saturday, Francess Reda, her two children and one of their friends arrived at the Boulder, Colorado, shelter to put the matching test to the test. They'd already spotted Mariah, a four-month-old stray tortoise-shell kitten, online. And when they filled out the Feline-ality form, they discovered that their needs and expectations matched Mariah's. Not really a "Leader of the Band" or "Personal Assistant," Mariah checked out more like a "Sidekick" - "I like attention, and I also like my solitude...

Kate Beggs is just that sort. The UC-Boulder grad student worked with Amadei last year in Rwanda, where their team designed solar lighting for a local clinic and gave scores of young girls lessons in the basics of engineering. The chance to temper classroom learning in the heat of the real world is enough to draw many pupils to the group. But an increasing number of students, like Beggs, believe EWB will shape their professional future. "For our generation of engineers coming out of school, we won't just go the usual route of client work and consulting," says...
