Among the aspects of Peace Engineering education theparticipants learned at the conference, they mentioned: a better idea of what Peace Engineeringis, including teaching students about compassion; the skill changes needed and the strain it willput on an already loaded curriculum as we add dimension like ethics, security and understandingof information technology; and an understanding of “good” and “bad” examples of PeaceEngineering.We also identified the overarching components of Peace Engineering
