In future years we plan to be more intentional towardsachieving both technical preparedness and social fluency for humanitarian engineering work. Wewill attempt to add quantitative elements to all qualitative aspects of the course. This may requireus to teach economic analyses for decision making by drawing parallels to environmentaleconomics. To augment, we will also continue to improve our collaborations with engineeringpractitioners, EWB, and aid groups to develop more case studies, particularly ones withquantitative analysis components.Additionally, our dream is to have permanent installations of the project demonstrations on ourcampus in an outdoor laboratory

Thus, it is of utmost importance to produce skilled engineersfor this rapidly growing industry by providing effective hands-on education at the universitylevel. Hands-on laboratory exercises substantially help to reinforce the theoretical knowledgegained from the lecture – thus improving the student learning outcome. In addition, it also helpsto develop the important experiment design, data acquisition, and data analysis skills desired bythe industry and are highly beneficial for future graduate level research.
