Development Engineering is a new emerging discipline that merges the understanding of quantitative social sciences with the engineering sciences to address some of the severe problems of people living in poverty. The discipline aligns with the UC Davis College of Engineering Next Level strategic vision to promote "Engineering for All" and "leave no community behind." As a longtime practitioner of engineering innovations with these very same themes and a significant contributor at UC Berkeley of establishing a graduate program in Development Engineering, Prof. Ashok Gadgil will speak about his journey and share high-level lessons from his experience that can be useful to others in successful advances in this field.
