Broadening Impact

A three year grant was awarded by the Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture Trust Fund with the aim to broaden the impact of the Humanitarian Engineering Initiative via:
Solveathon

In June 2019, a 1-day Solveathon was carried out as part of of the Solve initiative at MIT with the purpose to connect innovators with resources to solve global challenges.
During the workshop, the HEI team trained AUB students along with members of the Youth Committee of our partner community in Sin El Fil.
The aim was to introduce Community-Driven Innovation and Healthy Cities, and train youth to focus on challenges facing their community and design innovative solutions.
Pre-College Mentoring Program 2019

With the rapid advancement of technology, it is important to provide the younger generation with the skills and knowledge they need to keep up with the vast technological potential.
HEI participated in a Pre-College mentoring program in 2019 during which we delivered hands-on training modules in Electrical Engineering and Robotics with health applications for Grade 11 students.
The aim was to train high school students before they start their post-secondary education.
