Letter from the WEEF-GEDC chair:

“Dear colleague,

Peace engineering envisions and works towards a world where prosperity, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice and engagement, and a culture of quality thrive. Engineers have the power to play a vital role in delivering creative solutions that can radically transform and improve human and natural wellbeing.

As we educate future engineers, we must ensure that they embrace their role as engineers of peace. We must provide them with the skills, understanding, capacity for reflection, sense of social responsibility and ethics, and resources to successfully navigate the socio-political impacts of their projects, engage in transdisciplinary developments and frankly, imagine, design, and create a better world for us all.

On behalf of the conference planning committee, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract for presentation or poster to the 2018 World Engineering Education Forum – Global Engineering Dean’s Council to be held in the heart of the Southwest, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Ramiro Jordan, PhD
Chair, 2018 WEEF-GEDC”
