Introduction:
This course is an introduction to human-centered design, team engineering, and communication within a humanitarian engineering context. It includes a group project in which you and your classmates will be asked to design and present a solution to a problem experienced by a local or global nonprofit organization or the community it serves. These will be real problems experienced by real people, who are counting on you to design contextappropriate, affordable, and sustainable solutions. The course relies heavily on experiential and project-based learning, and we are going to strive to reflect on what we do.
Course Objectives:
By successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
1. Recognize the complexities inherent in working in teams to engage clients and communities as part of a humanitarian engineering project.
2. Describe and apply the human-centered design process.
3. Demonstrate basic skills in: contextual listening; needs and capacities assessment; stakeholder analysis; identifying, formulating, and designing a solution to an engineering and technology problem; documenting work in a professional notebook; writing professional reports; and making professional presentations. 4. Identify humanitarian engineering ethics criteria and be able to develop a values-driven, realistic, and cogent response to an ethical dilemma.
5. Describe examples of diverse human experiences and be able to identify structures and processes that lead to inequity and injustice, particularly as they pertain to humanitarian engineering projects.
6. Interact appropriately
