1st European award for best practice for the integration of SHD (Sustainable Human Development) into technology and engineering education

conferito da Global Dimension in Engineering Education (GDEE) is a EuropeAid Project, entitled “Cross-cutting development education into technology studies which aims to stimulate the introduction of education for development in European Universities. This project will impact positively on the attitudinal values and skills of students in relation to sustainable human development (SHD). This is being dealt with by integrating SHD as a cross-cutting issue in teaching activities through a two-fold strategy. Its first objective is to improve the competences of academics to enable them to introduce SHD into the curricula and facilitating the engagement of both staff and students in academic initiatives related to SHD. - 2013 - The Committee, integrated by experts from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya), Universitat Politècnica de Valencia, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Loughborough University, Università degli Studi di Trento, ONGAWA, Practical Action, Engineers without borders and Training Centre for International Cooperation, has decided: - To award with a price of 3000€ the next proposals: o B.E.S.T. (Best Environmental Sustainable Technologies) for International Cooperation, presented by Sabrina Sorlini with Francesco Vitali, Mentore Vaccari and Carlo Collivignarelli from University of Brescia. o Beyond traditional education in Engineering: a systemic approach to strengthen development, presented by Emanuela Colombro from Politecnico di Milano. o The integration of Education for Development in the Civil Engineering School of the University of Granada, presented by Javier Ordóñez from Universidad de Granada.
