GSGS 3120 - Engineering, Public Health, & Development: An Interdisciplinary Exploration

Real-world problems are inherently interdisciplinary. This course explores how public health, development, and engineering intertwine in efforts to improve daily life in Guatemala. We will investigate community projects of the UVA-Guatemala Initiative, and we will compare these with the work of other NGOs to understand better how ethical collaboration can make a difference in people’s lives. We will be joined by Guatemalan students.
