过去几十年来，数学、科学、工程和技术的最新发展使技术从以机器为导向（旨在提高生产力和量化）转变为以人为中心（简化与技术的互动并改善个人福祉）成为可能。技术正在从一种特权转变为一种社会福利。这种人道主义技术可以在几个层面上提供帮助，包括：㈠自然灾害（如火灾、风暴、龙卷风、海啸、地震）; ㈡人道主义灾难（种族灭绝、战争、非民主选举、不公正），㈢发展中国家（iv）发达国家（穷人、老年人、身心残疾者或代表性不足者）。由于在所有这些层面上，信息的收集和传播都被视为与灾害中的水、食物和药品同等重要，因此必须将其视为一个生态系统。开发良好的HT有许多科学、工程、技术和社会挑战。重要的挑战之一是教育。我们如何教育新一代的人道主义设计工程师？本文介绍了马尼托巴省使用的一种方法。
Recent developments in mathematics, science, engineering and technology over the last several decades have made it possible to transform technology from machine-oriented (designed to increase productivity and quantification) to more human-centric (to simplify interaction with technology and improve the well-being of individuals). Technology is being positioned to be moved from a privilege to a social benefit. Such humanitarian technology (HT) can help at several levels, including: (i) natural disasters (such as fires, storms, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes), (ii) humanitarian disasters (genocides, wars, non-democratic elections, injustice), (iii) developing countries (water, food, shelter, energy, sanitation, health, (iv) developed countries (the poor, seniors, people with physical or mental disabilities, or under-represented). Since, in all those levels, information gathering and distribution is considered as important as water, food and medicines in disasters, it must be considered as an ecosystem. The development of a good HT has many scientific, engineering, technological and social challenges. One of the important challenges is education. How do we teach the new generation of humanitarian design engineers? This paper describes one approach used in Manitoba.
