We define Peace Engineering as the intentional application of systemic-level thinking of science and engineering principles to directly promote and support conditions for peace. In this webinar, Ramiro Jordan continues the conversation on Peace Engineering which works directly towards a world where prosperity, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice and engagement, ethics and a culture of quality thrive.
Engineers have the power to play a vital role in the creative solutions that can radically transform and improve the well-being of people and other living systems, day to day. At the core of Peace Engineering is our planet’s sustainable future, which is calling leaders to act in concert from a systems mindset. It is a call to develop solutions differently: that is, collaboratively; integrating transdisciplinary expertise and education programs; simultaneously applying technology solutions while supporting ethics, policy and living systems.
Further, beyond addressing today’s challenges, we must cultivate together the development of next-generation leaders to continue to drive momentum. Peace Engineering is a new disruptive mindset needed to address global challenges. What does peace engineering mean to you? Help us define it.
