Project Description:

The world is under threat in recent years. There are wars between countries and violent cases in some schools. Those cases seriously affect human safety and community security around us. In order to maintain community sustainability, we need to know more about Sustainable Development Goals in the United Nations. Through taking a tour in our community, making the community map, the acquisition of the knowledge on the problems in the local community can help students secure the community safety and promote urban sustainability in the city in the future. The concept of community safety and security can be applied in our daily life. With this project, a prototype featuring information technology to solve this community safety or security problem needs to be designed and implemented in your community to see how effective it is to solve the problem.

Dates:

Project Description:

 

Public Health is more important than ever. With the changing social, political, cultural and economic norms we need to reimagine higher education—emphasizing Population Health and Social Determinants of Health that promotes attaining the full potential for health and well being for all. This means incorporating “glocalization” into solution centric approaches and creative leadership.

Completing this course marks the level of students’ efforts and signifies a significant step forward in their journey towards understanding public health. Throughout this project, students will engage with a diverse range of topics, methodologies, and real-world applications, equipping them with essential knowledge, skills, and perspectives to navigate the multifaceted landscape of public health.

Moreover, the lessons learned from this course project will serve as a solid foundation for students as they continue their academic and professional endeavors in the field of public health. Whether pursuing further studies, embarking on careers in public health practice, or advocating for policy change, students are well-equipped to make meaningful contributions to improving the health and well-being of communities locally, nationally, and globally.
