The Humanitarian Engineering program at the Colorado School of Mines trains students to "co-create just and sustainable solutions for communities." As the site explains, too often engineers design projects without listening closely to what communities, especially poor communities, really want. The program educates students toward a number of outcomes, including collaborative identification of problems and building technologies that promote just and sustainable solutions. Readers can explore the program by Events, Program, Partners, Publications, and an In the News section with links to articles about the program, faculty, and students. Of special interest, readers may also link to an excellent ten minute video of the program's work in Honduras in the winter of 2007.
