Work on a development project in Guatemala from the comfort of your own home in this new Spring 2021 course: HEST 444/544 "Co-Design for Development: A Remote Collaborative Experience"
For those students who may be considering pursuing graduate studies in a humanitarian or development engineering field, our collaborators at other institutions have recently launched new Master's degree programs. At OSU, students can earn a Master's or PhD in an engineering field (such as mechanical) with a focus on humanitarian engineering that is not transcript-visible. However these programs are official graduate degrees in humanitarian or development engineering. Follow the links to find out more.
OSU's Humanitarian Engineering program received some important visibility recently as our faculty member Dr. Nordica MacCarty received several college, university, and international honors.
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.
Please join Prof. Mette Halskov Hansen, University of Oslo, Norway for her talk

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.
