The course designator has changed from BA to ANTH and from 201 to 199, but the course is officially on the schedule for Spring 2020. If you are interested in using engineering, anthropology, and entrepreneurship to design solutions to help alleviate suffering and improve livelihoods in a variety of populations, please consider enrolling in the course. This course will count toward the humanitarian engineering minor core curriculum.
Originally planned for offering in Winter 2020, this course has been moved to Spring 2019. Watch here for more details as they are availalble.

Aprovecho Research Center in Cottage Grove, Oregon is looking for an undergraduate engineering intern to help with design and testing of biomass cookstoves this summer. Working with several other interns from the University of Dayton, the student will participate in research including running experiments to measure air quality, cookstove efficiency, and emissions using the ARC Laboratory Emissions Monitoring System (LEMS) and other sensors.
Over spring break 2019, fresh humanitarian engineering graduates Jennifer Ventrella (MS Mechanical Engineering with dual MS in Applied Anthropology) and Dr. Mohammad Pakravan (Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with Economics minor), advised by Dr. Nordica MacCarty, were funded to display their innovation at the VentureWell OPEN Minds Exhibition. The Exibition was the crowning event of the VentureWell OPEN conference focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship and held at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History on March 30th, 2019.
The humanitarian engineering and design programs are pleased to have received an MIME Strategic Excellence grant to bring in Dr. Nathan Johnson from Airzona State University. Please join us.
