This course provides a unique opportunity for you to develop and practice advanced engineering skills, tools and principles, whilst participating in an immersive collaboration with a development organisation working in humanitarian contexts. You will be equipped to understand the use of engineering to solve pressing global development challenges. Through instruction and the immersive collaboration, you will learn how to apply human-centred design principles, develop solutions that are appropriate for clients and communities in humanitarian contexts, and communicate them effectively. During the course your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real humanitarian context, and you will reflect on how the skills and tools learnt can be applied in your own engineering discipline.
This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.
