Humanitarian Technology and Sustainable Development at IEEE
This curriculum equips participants with a basic understanding of humanitarian technology and sustainable development, and how these concepts are different from aid, charity, and disaster relief. It outlines the need for holistic analysis of existing systems, instructs on the principles of community engagement, and covers the role of appropriate technology in sustainable development.
This curriculum includes the following courses:
- Introduction to Sustainable Development
- Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Humanitarian and Sustainable Development Activities
- Community Engagement in Sustainable Development Projects
- Humanitarian Technology for Sustainable Development
- Sustainable Project Design
- Project Assessment, Monitoring and Evaluation
Learning about these topics will provide a strong foundation about humanitarian technology and sustainable development, and will better prepare you to conduct a related activity or project. Tailored for busy IEEE members, each module should take only 20 - 30 minutes to complete. Courses may be taken individually, but as content from previous courses is frequently referenced, it is recommended to complete the curriculum in the order listed.
This curriculum is brought to you by IEEE Humanitarian Technologies (HT).
