Engineering for Community Development in Ohio

Service-learning course applying engineering to address contemporary issues related to food security in Central Ohio. In consultation with local social organizations, students will merge best practices for community development with resilient and sustainable design toward a semester long engineering design project that addresses a need or an opportunity to alleviate poverty and hunger. Prereq: Engr 1181.01, 1181.02, 1186.01, 1187, 1188, 1281.01H, 1281.02H, or 1281.03H, or permission of instructor.

Introduction to Humanitarian Engineering Laboratory

This course will introduce students to the field of Humanitarian Engineering through experience based learning. Weekly experiential activities will build context for engineering design in low resource and international settings as humanitarian development workers. Students will learn about lifestyles, challenges and physical limits in human existence to better inform engineering design decisions. Prereq or concur: 2200.

Introduction to Humanitarian Engineering Laboratory

This course will introduce students to the field of Humanitarian and Development Innovation through experience-based learning. Weekly experiential activities will build context for engineering design and technologies to enhance sustainability in low resource settings as development workers. The overarching goal is to understand limits to human existence that inform humanitarian engineering design. Concur: 3210. GE theme sustainability course.

Introduction to Humanitarian Engineering

This course will introduce students to the field of Humanitarian Engineering, cover a variety of potential career paths in this field, explore engineering equations as they apply to problem solving in low-resource settings, introduce students to reflection and communication skills for working as engineers in sustainable development and discuss cultural constraints for engineering problems. GE theme sustainability course.

Sustainability of the Food Supply Chain

Sustainability of the food supply chain depends on the efficiency of transforming raw food materials into consumer food products. This course introduces key operations in each sector of the supply chain along with sustainability parameters, focusing on energy, water, and waste. Students will recognize the challenges of maintaining a sustainable food supply while minimizing environmental impact. Prereq: Not open to students with credit for AgSysMt 3400, FdScTe 3400, or FdScTe 3400.01. GE theme sustainability course. Cross-listed in FdScTe.
