This is the website of the ETH seminar on
international development engineering.
Thought leaders from the field of development engineering will present a wide range of innovations from sectors such as health, water, food, sanitation, and communication that will be critically
discussed with students.
Students will
-
hear from and discuss with diverse researchers and
practitioners around the globe about technological interventions designed to improve human wellbeing within complex, limited-infrastructure, low-resource, and extreme-climate
settings.
-
get familiar with relevant frameworks from social sciences and engineering to understand and evaluate the discussed technologies and to put them into a
broader context.
-
learn about concrete examples of technological interventions designed to improve livelihoods and critically reflect on them.
-
get a broad understanding of some of the most important issues and discussions related to global sustainable development.
This website is a collection of critical reflections on the various talks and technologies presented.
