Abstract
This paper summarizes the overall results of the VIII World Engineering Education Forum, X Global Engineering Deans Council, XIV Global Student Forum, held in November 2018 in Albuquerque, NM USA, and discusses the emerging global collaboration for Peace Engineering (PEng) and Peace Engineering education.
The theme of this first ever global conference on Peace Engineering was in tune with global events and developments. Participants were a confluence of practitioners, researchers, policy makers and educators from all over world, encompassing academia, multinational industry, US national labs and multilateral organizations. Results from a formal survey show that participants rated the conference as very good or excellent in all aspects and asked for more coverage of the topic of Peace Engineering and teaching material and strategies that embody Peace Engineering learning and teaching. The Conference succeeded in catalyzing conversations and idea exchanges for concrete plans for the next steps to advance a movement for Peace Engineering education, including• A Global Peace Engineering minor• Peace Engineering Certificate program• Master of Science in Peace Engineering• Database of Peace Engineering case studies• Workshops and other forums to promote discussion and planning for Peace Engineering programs and curricula• Data models, metrics, analytics and simulations: fine grain to large grain• Development of Peace Engineering as the new global engineering mindset
Participants were engaged and enthusiastic about the concept and a Peace Engineering movement was born, along with the idea of creating a Peace Engineering Consortium.
