Global Spark Waterloo is part of a national initiative that aims to educate and mobilize university students in STEM, business, and social sciences in social entrepreneurship and global development. Global Spark wants to engage students with multidisciplinary thinking that will help solve global issues in three main ways. First, through partnerships with professors in primarily Engineering courses to incorporate global engineering concepts into the engineering curriculum. Secondly, by hosting a speaker series that invites world-renowned speakers who have worked in global development and engineering across international contexts to present their experiences to the student body during Global Engineering Week in March. Thirdly, by organizing local events with other UW clubs throughout the year, aimed to test and apply students’ learning in global engineering to competitions and real-world scenarios.
