), engineering education (through MasseyUniversity, New Zealand) and humanitarian engineering (through Coventry University, UK).Through its international platform, the purpose is to examine key areas where engineeringcan be harnessed to improve humanitarian and development outcomes. These areas are to:develop resource materials that are appropriate, culturally-relevant, that promote effectivepractice; deliver an international postgraduate course specifically in the area of humanitarianengineering; develop outreach programmes at all levels that encompasses pre-school throughto industrial professional development.This paper describes the initial process of the UNESCO UNITWIN’s formation followed bya description of how two of the collaborators have
