Overview

Peace Engineering (Online) at Drexel University introduces you to the field while training you to develop systems-level analysis skills. It features a highly-focused curriculum, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Institute of Peace and the PeaceTech Lab.

The study plan will help you learn critical ways to prevent and reduce conflict. These methods integrate innovative technologies, engineering approaches, policies, and practices of peacebuilders.

Apart from technical competencies, the program will help you understand the human dimensions of conflict. For instance, how working in a conflict zone links with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

As a graduate of the program, you will leave with a toolbox of transferrable skills that will enable you to succeed in peacebuilding and leadership. This makes it an ideal option for FEMA, Army Corps of Engineers, and many other professionals:

Peacebuilding practitioners who work on issues related to engineering, technology, and infrastructure
Government and military officers responsible for reconstruction and peacebuilding post-conflict

Engineers engaged in reconstruction or development work in conflict regions, or where natural resource extraction may lead to conflict

WHAT IS PEACE ENGINEERING?

Peace engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to promote and support peace and a sustainable future for the planet.

The peace engineering process envisions a world where "prosperity, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice and engagement, and a culture of quality thrive."
