课程名称：人道主义背景下公共健康工程导论 课程概述：当今世界面临前所未有的人道主义需求。现代人道主义危机的数量逐渐增加，通常发生在城市环境中，持续时间更长，区域影响更广。这些危机造成了更大规模的人类痛苦，干扰了水供应、卫生等基本服务，危及大量人群的健康。水、卫生、能源、环境等相关领域的工程师和技术专家在应对这些挑战和日益增长的需求中发挥着至关重要的作用。在人道主义领域，他们被称为公共卫生工程师，且日益受到重视。公共卫生工程在危机时期为何如此重要？相关活动是如何在复杂环境中进行的？本在线课程将为您解答这些问题。 课程合作单位：瑞士联邦理工学院（EPFL）、EAWAG-SANDEC 和国际红十字委员会（ICRC）共同为您提供这一引人入胜的公共健康工程领域入门课程。 课程大纲： 1. 公共卫生工程：第一周介绍公共卫生工程的主题，探讨工程师如何通过减少人道主义环境中遇到的死亡和发病率产生显著影响。工程师需了解传染病的传播方式，因此将介绍不同的环境传播通道以及预防疾病传播的措施，并通过实际案例支持理解。 2. 人道主义背景：第二周讲解公共卫生工程活动发生的人道主义背景，分析持久冲突如何影响城市基本服务（如水供应和卫生设施），由此引发公共卫生问题。 3. 水供应系统：第三周对水技术进行回顾，从水源到配送点讨论不同水系统在人员流动性背景下的优缺点。 4. 卫生设施：第四周回顾卫生技术和排泄物管理，案例研究展示人道主义部门面临的一些挑战和实践。 5. 废物管理与卫生促进：重点关注公共卫生工程师常在危机中遇到的一种固体废物：医疗废物。最后讨论人道主义危机中行为改变和卫生促进的重要性。 本课程旨在为学生提供公共健康工程的基础知识，使其能够在未来的危机中作出有效反应。
Name:Public Health Engineering
Description:The first week introduces the topic of public health engineering and see how engineers can have a significant impact to reduce the mortality and morbidity encountered in many humanitarian contexts. In order to do so, engineers should have a good understanding on how infectious diseases are transmitted. This is why you will be introduced to different environmental transmission pathways of diseases and you will see some measures to be taken to prevent the spread of some diseases. Real study case examples will be introduced to support the understanding.
Name:Humanitarian contexts
Description:During this week, the humanitarian context in which public health engineering activities take place is presented. We will see how protracted conflicts affect urban essential services, such as water supply and sanitation, resulting in public health issues.
Name:WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
Description:The week does a review of water technologies commonly used from the source to the distribution point. We discuss some pros and cons of different water systems that may be encountered in humanitarian contexts.
Name:Sanitation
Description:The fourth week does a review of sanitation technologies and excreta management. Case studies illustrate some challenges and practices in humanitarian sector.
Name:Waste management & Hygiene promotion
Description:We focus on a type of solid waste that public health engineers often encounter in humanitarian crises: medical waste. Finally, we discuss the critical issue of behavior change and hygiene promotion in humanitarian crises.
The world is facing unprecedented humanitarian needs. Today’s humanitarian crisis tend to be greater in number, often in urban settings, longer in duration and broader in regional impact. They generate human sufferings on a greater scale, disrupt essential services, such as water supply or sanitation and put health of large population at risk. Engineers and technical specialists in water, sanitation, energy, environment, and in other related fields play a vital role to respond to these challenges and growing needs. In the humanitarian sector, they are called the public health engineers and today they are increasingly needed! Why public health engineering matters so much in humanitarian crises? And how its related activities are carrying out in such complex environment? This is what this MOOC is all about! The EPFL, EAWAG-SANDEC and ICRC have decided to partner to guide you through this introduction to the fascinating field of public health engineering in humanitarian contexts.
