The project is currently at stage 2, during stage 1 I completed a field course to South East Asia with Design for Social Innovation and Leadership and the United Nations University for Peace (UPEACE). The course has enable me to research how engineers can design for community cohesion, conflict resolution, cultural diversity and sustainable development. It has challenged my understanding of the responsibilities of modern engineers in tackling global challenges. The course enabled me to focus on developing the structure of EDSI working on a social lean canvas, mission statement and the executive summary. I am now working on using all these ideas and design principles to promote and challenge the roles and responsibilities of engineers in the 21st century.
