The growth promotes the development of a ‘new type’ of engineer that can thinkbroadly, creatively, globally and sustainably 1, 2. In addition to these pillars, humanitarianengineering curriculums promote cross-collaborative efforts and the convergence of a range ofdisciplines. Fundamentally multidisciplinary, humanitarian engineering also aids in increasingthe recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities due to the innovative teaching
