Engineering disciplines have a pivotal role to play in the solution of global humanitarian challenges, enabling our society to take steps towards sustainable human development. Engineering can be used as the catalyst for the change that the world needs; from water supply to renewable energy provision, engineering knowledge and application underpin the responses needed for us all to pursue a sustainable future. Because the issue of humanitarianism is not just engineering problems, there is a need to engage with professionals, breakdown previously siloed approaches and obdurate practices, and introduce interdisciplinary education and training to enhance combinational expertise. Transcending Humanitarian Engineering Strategies for Sustainable Futures provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area of humanitarian engineering as a means for future-proofing our communities.

They do the work of advising not for money or fame, but because their meaningful work ensures that students reach their goals. In order to do so, those who serve students must have the knowledge, skills, abilities, and encouragement to do their work. This edited collection provides a practical framework for advisor training and professional development, underpinned by the theoretical rationale for those frameworks. This text is not focused on the “what” of advisor training but is instead intentionally focused on the “how” and the “why,” encouraging those responsible for development and implementation to have a clear means by which to support advisor success. Readers of this text will identify the centrality of the NACADA Core Values and Core Competencies to effective training and development but will also gain a practical suite of tools to be used in various higher educational contexts. Including, but not limited to initial program creation, the authors consider complex concerns such as funding, technology, intercultural competence, and self-care--among others--as components of a comprehensive program to support advising professionals.
