Description

When a disaster strikes and the power goes out, who brings the solutions? In this hands-on program, students step into the role of first-response engineers, tackling real scenarios inspired by crises like Hurricane Katrina. They examine how engineering gaps can worsen emergencies—and how thoughtful, equity-minded design can save lives.
