| Session Abstract | ||
|
Peace Engineering is the application of science, technology, and engineering principles to promote and support peace. It recognizes the important contribution that engineering, the social sciences and other disciplines can make toward a world where prosperity, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice and engagement, and a culture of quality thrive. There are urgent calls to action by the National Academy of Engineering , the Nobel Prize Summit , the United Nations, global scientists and others to address and solve, in this decade (2020 – 2030), crucial and widely recognized global challenges before they become more complex and more environmentally, financially, and socially costly; before we reach the point of no return.
