In this study, we focus on the refugee camp setting as a fragile context.Access and Educational Needs in Refugee Settings Access to education represents a significant obstacle in refugee contexts, and manycauses are potential barriers to education, such as space shortages, language and curriculum,transportation, parental documentation, child labor, early marriage, school fees, and safety [2].Given these barriers to access, Culbertson and Constant [2] suggested, “[T]here is a need toalleviate the situation with innovative educational strategies to coordinate efforts, shareknowledge, make evidence-based decisions, improve efficiency or effectiveness, and

Furthermore, it has been suggested that engineering students who plan toengage in sustainable development initiatives develop a set of global competencies (Lucena et al.2008) and move from being mere “technology advocates” to “Honest Brokers,” who researchand present a range of technical possibilities within the “broad contextual constraints of theproblem-setting” (Mitchell et al. 2004: 40).Engineering programs globally have responded to these calls for a shifting paradigm inengineering education by introducing innovative curricula that combines social andenvironmental concerns with economic and technological development (Ahrens and Zascerinska2012; Lucena and Schneider 2008

This was important to their success because, as Bagiati and Evangelou found“the success of curricular innovation along the lines of engineering content in a preschoolclassroom depends on the level of engagement that multiple stakeholders have in the process”[32, pp. 126]. In this preschool, the director was fully supportive of the project, the parents of thechildren were intrigued by the project and talked of how they liked that it was happening, and theteachers were willing to learn engineering with the children.The teachers, at times throughout all six weeks of the project, struggled with the EDP.

corebusiness practice [4] – emerged as one strategy for corporations to respond to the growingcriticisms that citizens, civil society groups and government bodies made of their power andbehavior. At their base, the practices and policies undertaken under the banner of CSRacknowledge that corporations are responsible for more than producing and distributing profit:they must also seek to create social and environmental benefits while minimizing harms.Importantly, while rhetoric surrounding CSR in corporate material invokes broad categories of“the public, “society,” or even “the world,” the field was a key innovator and disseminator ofstakeholder theory. Attention to stakeholders helps to move analysis from idealized abstractionsto the messy complexity

The U.S. studentgroup collaborates with 10 to 15 students from several Dutch universities representing multipledisciplines. The design workshop starts with consultation with local stakeholders and local experts.Thereafter the students are split into a couple of multidisciplinary bi-national teams consisting of 5 to 6members to collaborate on an actual design to address the complex flood risk related problemspresented to them. The workshop provides an authentic learning environment to the students withgiven existing flood issues in the local area and collaborative problem-solving process

His current work explores how students describe their own learning in engineering design and how that learning supports
objectivesfor the practice classes. What the seminar could do to improve is to emphasize thatlesson objectives are probably most valuable to the first generation college students whoarrive at college with fewer tools in their toolbox. The students who come from poorfamilies have often not been exposed to nightly homework, fast-paced instruction, andnuanced expectations from teachers. Students in poverty are more likely to have beenexposed to unlicensed teachers, higher student-faculty ratios, fewer innovative teachingmethods, and less exposure to technology36. Students of color from low-income familiesare more likely to receive skills-based instruction while affluent white students are morelikely to have received a more progressive education with high

These sea level changes scenarios in association to extreme events such as hurricanes Irmaand María (2017) two powerful category 5 and 4 hurricanes as well as Winter storm Riley in 2018have proven to have devastating potential. New land use regulations as well as building codes needto seriously consider these scenarios. Construction near the shoreline must integrate adaptive andretrofit ready elements in order to be resilient. Professional development and formal education forengineers and architects must invite the use of innovative approaches to address thesechallenges.

In 2016, more than 4.8million students studied outside their country of residence, which is more than double thenumber in 2000 [1].
