Abstract

Background. Engineering design is widely recognized as a field that can generate key innovations for complex problems, such as those elucidated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, engineering design training is not widely accessible to the global community, particularly to people experiencing the challenges that the SDGs are striving to address. Purpose. This manuscript describes the Ignite program created by the Center for Global Women’s Health Technologies (GWHT) at Duke University, which uses the human-centered design framework to apply engineering design concepts to address specific challenges associated with the SDGs. Design/Method. Undergraduate students participate in a design course (BME 290) to learn how to create and deliver a technological solution to increase access to light at night, which is a significant challenge in many communities around the globe. A subset of the undergraduate students partnered with an energy-poor community in which they implemented a curriculum based on the skills learned in BME 290. Results. Since 2014, 110 Duke students have taken BME 290, and 22 of those students traveled internationally, collectively teaching 275 students in Kenya, India, and Guatemala. Students in Kenya

利用以人为本的设计将工程概念与可持续发展目标联系起来
背景。工程设计被广泛认为是一个可以为复杂问题产生关键创新的领域,例如可持续发展目标(SDGs)中阐明的那些问题。然而,工程设计培训并没有被全球广泛接受,特别是对于那些正在经历可持续发展目标努力解决的挑战的人。目的。本文描述了杜克大学全球妇女健康技术中心(GWHT)创建的Ignite计划,该计划使用以人为本的设计框架,应用工程设计概念来解决与可持续发展目标相关的具体挑战。设计/方法。本科生参加设计课程(BME 290),学习如何创建和提供技术解决方案,以增加夜间照明,这是全球许多社区面临的重大挑战。一部分本科生与一个能源贫乏的社区合作,在那里他们实施了一门基于BME 290中学到的技能的课程。结果。自2014年以来,杜克大学有110名学生参加了BME 290课程,其中22名学生进行了国际旅行,在肯尼亚、印度和危地马拉共教了275名学生。肯尼亚学生
