Welcome Message from Conference Chair and Vice-Chair Keith Moore GHTC 2013 General Chair [email protected] It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference. IEEE’s Region 6 is proud to sponsor the conference. We are bringing together technologists from NGO’s, academe, industry, government and funders to present papers, discuss projects, cover new technologies, identify needs, help find new project partners and share with other attendees. The Program committee has done an extraordinary job of assembling this year’s program with technical sessions and panel sessions addressing critical and evolving work in the humanitarian field. We’ll be including student paper and poster competitions. Throughout the conference, please take time to gather and meet with other attendees to continue discussions from sessions or meet to discuss opportunities. Thanks to all of our partners and patrons for their continued support of the conference. My personal thanks to all of the members of the steering committee and the advisory committee for their work on bringing the conference together. And thank you to all of the authors and attendees for your support and participation. I hope you find this year’s conference a rewarding experience as we gather together to help change the world. Soon Wan GHTC 2013 Vice Chair [email protected] On behalf of the steering Committee, I welcome you to the IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference 2013. We are excited about this year conference, and believe it will meet IEEE’s core purpose to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. This 3rd annual conference continues to focus on applying technology to solve the world’s most pressing humanitarian and development challenges. It has become the IEEE and IEEE Region 6 flagship annual conference designed to gather scientists, engineers, technology professionals, academics, foundations, government and non-government organizations, and individuals engaged in humanitarian works to discuss and develop solutions for present and future humanitarian needs. This year conference is packed with three days of oral presentation sessions organized into three technical tracks, plus posters, tutorials, plenary keynotes, panel sessions, workshops, contests, and award ceremony. There should be something for everyone in attendance. We have plenary keynote speakers from industry, academia, non-profit organization, government agency, Foundation and NGO. Please take the opportunity to take all you can away from the conference to enhance your personal and professional growth, network with friends and colleagues, meet new ones, and enjoy the conference! 2013 GHTC Page 3 Welcome Message from Technical Program Co-Chairs Welcome from the Technical Program Committee The Technical Program Committee welcomes you to San Jose, California and to the 2013 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference. We have worked hard to develop a truly international program featuring keynote speakers, panelists, papers and posters from across the spectrum of humanitarian engineering and technology. This year we received 177 full paper submissions from authors affiliated with NGOs, corporations, and universities. About 60 reviewers participated in the peer-review process. The final program contains sessions focused on health; energy; education; water and agriculture; disaster response and preparation; communication and connectivity; and other specialized topics. We hope that you find the conference beneficial to you and your organization’s mission in the humanitarian technology space. Finally, we encourage you to become involved in next year’s conference. Please consider submitting a paper, serving as a reviewer or becoming involved in

He received his ChE degrees from Purdue University, worked for the DuPont Co, and has been at WPI since 1980. His current interests are in educational research: the process of student learning, international engineering education, and educational assessment. Collaboration with two colleagues resulted in being awarded the 2001 William Corcoran Award from Chemical Engineering Education. He served as 2004 chair of the ASEE ChE Division, has served as an ABET program evaluator and on the AIChE/ABET Education & Accreditation Committee. He has also served as Assessment Coordinator in WPI’s Interdis- ciplinary and Global Studies Division and as Director of WPI’s Washington DC Project Center. He was secretary/treasurer of the new Education Division of AIChE. In 2009 he was awarded the rank of Fellow in the ASEE, and in 2013 was awarded the rank of Fellow in AIChE. Ms. Paula Quinn, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Through her role as Associate Director for the Center for Project-Based Learning at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Paula Quinn works to improve student learning in higher education by supporting faculty and staff at WPI and at other institutions to advance work on project-based learning. She believes project- based learning holds significant potential for increasing the diversity of students who succeed in college and who persist in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, and she views her work with the Center as contributing to education reform from the inside out.

  • North America
    State of Engineering for Global Development UNITED STATES + CANADA Click here to download the full report The 2019 state of Engineering for Global Development (EGD) in academic institutions in North America. 2019 Engineering for Global Development (EGD) is an interdisciplinary practice that aims to improve the quality of life of underserved communities worldwide through the design and delivery of technology-based solutions combined with local capacity-building. To do this effectively, practitioners must integrate their technical training with an understanding of economics, entrepreneurship, social science and politics to benefit people living in poverty. Engineering education programs that support this definition are found at many institutions throughout North America. Program-specific aims and goals may be broader or further specialized than the definition presented here. Likewise, terminologies and titles vary - such as “global engineering”, “humanitarian engineering”, “engineering 32 Institutions for international development” or development design”; among others. Regardless of a lack of terminology-consensus in this field, this report includes those programs that E4C has identified as supporting our overarching definition of “EGD.” Bachelors 3 Masters + PhD 8 Minors + Certificates 14 Disclaimer To E4C’s knowledge, this is the first report of this kind to attempt to list out all the programs and faculty who Courses 29 work in Engineering for Global Development.
