ETHICS-2023 Session A2 - Panel: The arc of a global engineering education

Since 2009, the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering & Resilience has been training global engineers to improve the lives of vulnerable people through technological innovation, forming global partnerships, enacting policy changes, and humanitarian service. In 2021, The Mortenson Center hosted over 100 participants from universities, donors, government agencies, and industry partners for a virtual workshop series as part of a National Science Foundation grant to advance engineering education. Together, that group established a comprehensive global engineering body of knowledge. The paper Aligning learning objectives and approaches in global engineering graduate programs: Review and recommendations by an interdisciplinary working group were recently published in Development Engineering.
