Summer courses relevant to humanitarian engineering

Dear humanitarian engineering faculty and students, Please note two exciting summer 2022 courses for both undergraduates and graduate student coming up including: HEST 462/562, SYSTEM DYNAMICS MODELING FOR HUMANITARIAN ENGINEERING, 3 Credits. Introduces an accessible and practical framework for applying participatory system dynamics modeling to navigate the complexity of humanitarian engineering, projects and programs. Techniques highlighted include stakeholder-centric group model building, cross-impact analysis, causal loop diagramming, and stock and flow modeling. Culminates in a team project focused on a real-world global engineering intervention, where the team must model factors and subsystems that influence project success. This new Ecampus course is offered by Jeff Walters, professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Washington - Tacoma. There is also a new course GEOG 499/599 on wildfire disaster risk reduction, offered by Laura Peters. A flyer about this course is attached. Kindly, ~Nordica Nordica A.
