project helped them tounderstand both an injustice within society and how to apply the design process to solve a need.They also felt the deliverables for the Health Inequity project (elevator pitch, design criteria,final presentation) required both teamwork and professional skills.The guest speakers had a powerful impact on the freshmen. Speakers included an ER clinicianwho treated a child seriously ill from a neglected tooth, an entrepreneur motivated by hismother’s cancer diagnosis to develop a start-up in digital pathology, a faculty member whodeveloped a mathematical model for accurately diagnosing sepsis, and a researcher sharing datafrom her work on the lack of diversity in clinical trials for prostate cancer treatment, particularlyamong

community meant that the studentsfelt a genuine understanding of the impacts of their work. During the initial brainstorming andliterature search, the students researched other low-resource lamps. Inspiration for the initialdesign came from the University of New South Wales’ Uninterruptible Surgical Lamp, but thestudents had to make design decisions tailored to the needs and resources of SPHMMC [5].Lighting SystemThe design for the surgical lamp’s lighting system had to improve on the existing halogen bulblighting at SPHMMC. LED lighting was the clear choice for the team’s design - LED bulbs arecheaper, more energy efficient, and longer-lasting than halogen lighting. Additionally, theygenerate less waste heat than halogen bulbs, making this option

delivery of content in each different course. However, choosing the best course for thismodular approach can be difficult and one has to consider the compatibility of goals and outcomes for awell-suited match. For our beta-trial, we chose an Introduction to Engineering course as our point ofentry. This course was well match of our purpose due its diverse student major and multiple sectionavailability.Project Management Lecture ModuleOur Project management modules used a student-centric, backward-design curriculum.To impact our students and keep them heavily engage--- Technology-centric PIT successes and projectsstellar project management efforts are showcased to drill home the powerful impact of PIT. Followingeach “new clipping” our lecture series

EducationAbstractPeace engineering is a new discipline that merges engineering with social and applied sciencesand with peacebuilding for the dual purposes of integrating technical analysis and engineeringinto peacebuilding practice and also infusing conflict-sensitivity and peacebuilding skills intoengineering design and practice. It builds on a partnered approach to curriculum development,research, community engagement and design. The Peace Engineering program at Drexelprepares engineers to work as better partners in complex situations like conflict zones, fragilenations or post-disaster regions, and to incorporate conflict sensitivity into their work. We offeran M.S. degree, a graduate certificate and undergraduate course offerings and co-op
