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

The intervention is designed to makestudents aware of biases in model base learning, their own tendencies towards these kinds ofbiases, and the sorts of impacts these biases can have on real populations.

It belongs to people, notjust as ‘users’ but as protagonists of their dimensional lives” [1, p. 23]. Hendren’s invocation of avision of engineering as radically human-centered provided the philosophical and humanisticcore to our interdisciplinary teaching team as we embarked on designing a new course forfirst-year students at Boston College (BC).
