In this course, through instruction, experimentation and hands on activities you will explore the role, requirements and application of the engineering profession in disaster preparedness, disaster response and long-term development contexts. You will learn best practices and approaches to engineering in these humanitarian contexts, whilst also building critical human centred and participatory design skills that are applicable in all disciplines of engineering and beyond. Humanitarian engineering skills will be beneficial for those interested in building resilience to global stresses such as climate change, pandemics, natural disasters, urban and rural development. This course is for those wanting to expand their engineering skills and be prepared to tackle the pressing and complex global challenges of the 21st century.
