technology graduates-- graduates endowed with public policyskills, yet fully adroit in the latest and emerging technology, defining a contemporary needed role for thegood of the society. However, with a paucity of such talent (and jobs) available today, it’s crucial to growthese new career pathways which are destined to be in high demand 5-10 years from now. [2]Among its various charters, the PIT-UN is managing new curriculum introductions and courses acrossuniversities by first building awareness through various outreach programs. It’s time to reshape theengineers traditional role into an expert where constant private sector innovations will face competenttechnical staff with public policy skills.Figure 1 shows the PIT-UN first phase, high-level

byengineers entering practice and the competencies that a new engineer should develop as theyprogress through their professional career. In addition, this Third Edition of the CEBOK(CEBOK3) emphasizes that engineers should also develop an appreciation for effectivecommunication and demonstrate key abilities related to the affective domain. With theimportance of communication to future engineers’ practice of civil engineering clearly defined,undergraduate curricula must adapt to meet this need. At the University of Delaware, the civilengineering curriculum included significant communication content prior to the issuance of theCEBOK3. However, the standard communication coursework of public speaking and technicalwriting left a gap in critical

throughout traditional engineeringsectors, thereby developing the integrative skills recommended by USIP, the National Academyof Engineering (NAE), and the conflict management community [1], [2], [3], [4].The graduate program began enrolling students in 2019 and includes both an M.S. degree forstudents from all STEM backgrounds and a 9-credit online certificate accessible to students fromall backgrounds. We present a peace engineering curriculum that offers breadth in understandingthe social dimensions of conflict, depth in engineering approaches and technologies applicable topeacebuilding, and practical experience working alongside peacebuilding practitioners. Asystems-level thinking approach is leveraged to equip engineers to think critically

. Joshua L. Hertz, Northeastern University Dr. Hertz earned a B.S. in Ceramic Engineering from Alfred University in 1999 and then a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006. Following this, he worked at the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow. He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware as an Assistant Professor in September 2008, leading a lab that researched the effects of composition and nanostructure on ionic conduction and surface exchange in ceramic materials. In 2014, he moved to Northeastern University to focus on teaching and developing curriculum in the

discussions among international engineeringdirectors, peer institutions expressed interest in a network of Global Engineering Fellows. Aninternational network of Fellows could establish a replicable program framework, standards, anddesirable outcomes at universities across the globe. Such a network could lead the way inleveraging globally minded engineering students throughout the world towards a commonpurpose, uniting students who are equipped with the capabilities to lead and inspire the world.An international network would oversee: • Standards for organization, such as an ethos, course curriculum, participant prerequisites, program requirements, assessment, and partner responsibilities. • Coordination of an annual project to promote
