Drexel Partners to Graduate "Peace Engineers"
Philly.com
A new program at Drexel University will teach the art of conflict management to engineers with the goal of preparing them to work in countries prone to conflict.
It's peace-building, one brick at a time, under Drexel's new partnership with the U.S. Institute of Peace's non-profit arm, PeaceTech Lab.
Drexel is the lab’s first academic partner in the effort to create “humanitarian engineers” who are focused on supporting peace - socially, economically, educationally and now technically.
