andcurriculum development: the role of engineers in humanitarian activities. Additionally, reforminitiatives in science and engineering (S&E) graduate education have yet to realize their potentialfor integrating ethics into curricula. Addressing such challenges, this paper will describeactivities to date of an interdisciplinary faculty team at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM)working on the development of graduate-level curriculum in humanitarian engineering ethics(HEE). The HEE faculty team has 1) reviewed and critically assessed relations betweenhumanitarianism and engineering in order to develop an applicable concept of humanitarianethics (HE) in engineering education and practice; 2) researched barriers and opportunities in thedevelopment and

, almost 25 percent of the U.S.’s counties had low per-capitaincomes below one half of the national average or less, high unemployment, low laborforce participation, and a high dependency on government transfer payments, all of whichare measures of economic distress. The problem of persistent poverty is a complex one thatincludes communities and individuals who through no fault of their own, find themselvesunable to make ends meet in this globalizing, information-intensive world. People at riskare women, children, the elderly, people of color and single-parent families. Large numbersof the nation’s citizens live at or below the poverty threshold, struggling to pay bills andprovide the basics of food, clothing and shelter. Health care and simple

Students are generally given wide latitude to choose their own operating systems,server applications, and network configuration, as this also helps them learn what works well andwhat does not. The setup phase can last 1-2 weeks, depending on the situation, during whichtime the students’ network(s) are isolated from any attacks.
