Humanitarian Engineering works to provide disadvantaged individuals and communities with engineering solutions that improve lives and livelihoods.
These solutions may provide essential services such as food, water, shelter, energy and information where they are unavailable. Areas where a lack of reliable access to these essentials is a challenge and could be in remote Australian communities and low and middle-income countries. In such cases, Humanitarian Engineers work to improve underlying inequalities of access and availability in the context of ‘development’ and working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
