Human Centred Design:
Appropriate technology requires a people approach to design. This stream presents Human Centred Design; a methodology that can be applied to ensure appropriate, people centered outcomes. 

Engineering Education:
EWB engages with universities Australia wide in undergraduate research projects, connecting students with our overseas placements. This stream presents research findings and leading thought around university engagement for humanitarian engineering.

DAY TWO

Day 2 Conference Streams:

Corporate Social  Responsibility and Engagement:
Most engineering companies across Australia now have CSR programs in one form or another. This stream discusses leading thinking around CSR, case studies and advice for finding meaningful engagement opportunities.

Engineering, Risk and Disaster:
This stream explores the important role engineers play in the management of and recovery from humanitarian disasters and how leading engineering organisations have responded to disaster. It builds upon the content from the national Technical Workshop Series held throughout this year.

Defining a Path:
This stream identifies opportunities for the engineering community to engage in the priority theme areas identified at the Humanitarians Engineering Summit including, Commitment and Leadership; Appropriate Technology; Capacity Building and Education; Reconciliation.

DAY THREE

Day 3 Conference Streams:

Progressing Humanitarian Engineering:
This stream explores legacy projects for the Year of Humanitarians Engineering, a pro-bono engineering model for Australia and potential future directions for the engineering sector.

Current Partnerships:
EWB works in partnership with several communities from local centres, to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and local Asian communities. This stream is dedicated to celebrating these partnerships through stories from the field.

Engineers Assisting in Disaster:
RedR Australia routinely deploys professional engineers to disaster zones via United Nations mandate. This stream is dedicated to celebrating this great service through presentations from key RedR staff and returned volunteers.
